What We Handle Under EV Charger Installation
EV charger installation covers the wiring, not just the unit on the wall.
Here's what's typically involved for a St Leonards home or apartment.
- A dedicated circuit. Run from the board, carrying only the charger's load and nothing else.
- The charger itself. Wall-mounted units fitted and commissioned, wired for the load they're rated to draw.
- Load management, where needed. A device that keeps the charger from pulling more than a busy board can handle.
- The run out to the car. Basement and car park cabling, for chargers sitting well apart from the board itself.
How to Tell You Need EV Charger Installation
An EV charger isn't just a power point mounted on a wall.
Here's when it's worth getting one installed properly.
- A wall socket doing overnight duty, and the battery still short of full by morning.
- A lead trailing across the yard or driveway to reach the car.
- An EV due for delivery soon, or already parked out front.
- Talk of chargers going into the building's car park, but nothing booked in yet.
- Wanting to charge off-peak without setting a manual timer every night.
- Nobody's ever checked whether the board can actually take the extra draw.
Why St Leonards Properties Call For This
St Leonards has a lot of apartment stock, and that shapes how EV charging plays out here.
New and established buildings alike are seeing growing demand for chargers in shared basement car parks, including around streets like Oxley Street.
Houses have it simpler: one dwelling, one circuit off its own board.
A shared car park is a different proposition, usually involving the building's overall electrical capacity and sometimes the strata committee before a single charger goes in. We've handled both, and we'll tell you honestly which one applies to your building.
Older blocks near the station, wired well before home charging was common, are usually where that capacity conversation starts earliest and matters most.
What Your EV Charger Installation Quote Depends On
A few things shape the price of an EV charger install, and every one of them gets explained before we start.
- How far the cable has to run from the board to the parking spot.
- Whether the board's got spare capacity, or needs a load-limiting device fitted.
- Charger output: a standard unit against a faster three-phase option.
- The path the cable takes, through a wall, a ceiling void or along a car park.
- For apartments, whether strata sign-off is needed before anything starts.
Near Oxley Street's apartment blocks, it's the building coordination that tends to stretch the timeline, more than it moves the price itself.
How We Work Through an EV Charger Installation Job
Most house installs wrap up in a single day.
Apartment and shared car park jobs can take longer once building coordination is involved.
- A look at the site. We check the board, the cable path and, for apartments, the parking spot itself, then confirm the price in writing.
- Sign-off where it's needed. For shared car parks, any strata approval gets sorted before work starts.
- The circuit goes in. A dedicated run from the board out to the car space, on its own, sized for the charger alone.
- Commission and test. The unit is mounted, wired, tested and signed off, ready for daily charging.
Compliance, Certificates and NSW Requirements
EV charger installation counts as notifiable electrical work in NSW.
AS/NZS 3000 covers the dedicated circuit itself, right down to safety switch protection. Where a board is already running near its ceiling, a load-limiting device stops the whole thing tripping when the charger kicks in.
A compliance certificate follows once the work has been tested and checked off, useful for insurance and any future sale.
DIY electrical work is illegal in NSW. An EV charger draws more sustained current than almost anything else in the house, so it's not a job to guess at.
For a shared car park, strata will usually want to see the compliance paperwork before signing off on future installs in the same building, so keep a copy handy.
Why This Is a Job for Our Team
EV charging draws serious, sustained current, hour after hour.
That reality is what the circuit and any load-limiting gear get sized around, not a quick once-off test.
It's the same standard every EV install gets from us, apartment or house.
Related Work and Surrounding Areas
An EV charger install often turns up a board that's overdue for its own upgrade.
A board already working hard is worth checking through switchboard upgrades before we even start on the charger circuit.
We also service Wollstonecraft, Artarmon and Cammeray, taking in St Leonards and the North Sydney area around it. If you're on a body corporate committee weighing up a building-wide rollout, we're glad to walk through the options before anyone commits.

Common questions
EV Charger Installation FAQs
Here's what St Leonards homeowners and apartment owners usually ask about EV charger installation.
Can you do EV charger installation in a St Leonards unit or strata building?
Yes, though it usually means coordinating with the building first. We'll assess the car park and talk you through what strata needs to sign off.
How long will the job take from start to finish?
A house circuit is often wrapped up in a day. A shared car park job runs on however quickly the building coordination comes together.
How do I prepare for the job?
Keeping the board and the parking spot reachable is the main thing. Apartment owners should flag the job with their building manager ahead of time.
What are the signs I need EV charger installation?
Charging from an ordinary socket all night and the car's still not topped up, or a lead run out to wherever it's parked.
Can I choose the brand of gear for EV charger installation?
Yes. We'll talk through charger options and fit what suits the car and the budget, using Clipsal and Hager gear on the circuit itself.
Can you give me a ballpark on EV charger installation?
It depends on the cable run and whether the board needs load management, so we can't put a figure on it upfront. A fixed price in writing follows once we've had a look at the board and the car space.
