EV charger service
A safer, cleaner way to charge your EV at home.
A dedicated home EV charger can be more convenient than relying on a standard power point, especially when charging becomes part of your daily routine.
PDG Energy plans EV charger installations around your switchboard capacity, charger location, cable route, solar generation and possible battery storage upgrades.
Clear installed pricing
How Much Does EV Charger Installation Cost in Adelaide?
A fixed-scope quote starts with the charger, vehicle and property, not a generic installed price.
What affects an EV charger quote?
Installed cost depends on the charger brand and model, charging capability, available supply, cable route and the electrical work required at your property.
- Charger brand, model and 7 kW, 11 kW or 22 kW capability
- Single-phase or three-phase supply and your EV's onboard charger
- Cable distance from the parking bay to the switchboard
- Switchboard upgrade, dedicated protection and isolation equipment
- Solar-aware charging, load management and app setup where compatible

Anker SOLIX V1 product pageCharging speed explained
7 kW vs 11 kW vs 22 kW EV Charging
The charging rate your vehicle actually receives is limited by the charger, your home's supply and the vehicle's onboard AC charger.
| Charger capability | Common home supply | What determines actual speed | Typical planning use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 kW | Often single-phase | The EV must be able to accept the available AC rate; site load and charger settings also matter. | Common for regular overnight home charging. |
| 11 kW | Usually three-phase | Requires compatible three-phase supply and an EV with an 11 kW onboard AC charger. | Useful where shorter charging windows or higher daily driving demand are expected. |
| 22 kW | Three-phase | The property, protection, charger and vehicle must all support 22 kW; many EVs accept less. | Considered for high-demand homes or vehicles that can use the available rate. |
At the actual rate received, a vehicle adds about 7, 11 or 22 kWh of energy per hour before charging losses. The lower of the charger limit, property supply and vehicle onboard AC limit sets that rate. We confirm it before quoting.
Solar-aware charging
Charge Your EV With Solar
Smart charging can prioritise suitable excess solar generation, but it needs a compatible charger, solar system and charging settings.
Check the charger features
Solar-aware charging, dynamic load control and scheduled charging are model-specific features that must be confirmed for the selected charger.
Match solar and charging habits
Daytime parking, solar generation, household loads and the vehicle's required charge level all influence whether excess-solar charging suits your routine.
Plan for battery and EV together
Future storage can change how energy is allocated between the home and vehicle, so we include battery goals in the charger assessment.
Review your solar system
We check your existing solar equipment and monitoring before confirming a solar-charging pathway. Explore solar installation or battery installation.

EV charger FAQ
Common home EV charging questions.
These answers explain the practical details we check before confirming charger compatibility and installation scope.
How long does it take to charge my EV at home?
Charging time depends on the vehicle battery level and capacity, your vehicle's onboard AC charger, the charger setting and the available supply. We confirm the supported rate from your EV model and property assessment.
Is a 7 kW charger enough for my vehicle?
A 7 kW charger can suit many homes and regular overnight charging routines, especially on single-phase supply. Whether it is enough depends on your driving, vehicle AC charging limit and available charging time.
Can I install an EV charger if I have single-phase power?
Yes, many home chargers are designed for single-phase installation. The final charger setting, dedicated circuit and load assessment must match the available supply and your vehicle.
Can I use a Tesla Wall Connector with a non-Tesla EV?
Compatibility depends on the current Wall Connector variant, vehicle inlet and the manufacturer's current documentation. Tell us your vehicle model so we can confirm the appropriate configuration before quoting.
Can I charge from excess solar power?
With a compatible charger and solar setup, charging can be configured to prioritise suitable excess solar energy. Generation, household loads, charger features and charging settings determine the result.
What is included in an EV charger installation quote?
Your quote sets out the selected charger, dedicated circuit and protection, mounting, cable route, isolation equipment, testing, handover and any site-specific electrical work or exclusions.
Do I need a switchboard upgrade?
Not always. We inspect the switchboard, available capacity, protection requirements and proposed charger load before confirming whether any upgrade work is required.
Can an EV charger be installed outdoors?
Many chargers have outdoor-rated enclosures, but the selected model, mounting surface, weather exposure, cable management and electrical installation requirements must be checked for the proposed location.
