Do I Need a Switchboard Upgrade for an EV Charger?
Not every home requires a switchboard upgrade before installing an EV charger, but it's something we'll assess during our initial inspection. The age of your switchboard, available circuit capacity and your home's overall electrical demand all play an important role in determining whether your existing electrical system is suitable.
If your switchboard already has sufficient capacity and modern safety protection, we can usually install your EV charger without major electrical upgrades. However, older homes with ceramic fuses, limited circuit space or outdated protection may require a switchboard upgrade to safely support the additional electrical load.
As licensed electricians, we can complete both your EV charger installation and any required switchboard upgrade, ensuring your electrical system is safe, compliant and ready for reliable EV charging for years to come.
