EV Charger Installation South Australia

EV Charging

Prepare your property for the electric vehicle era.

As more South Australian households and businesses move to electric vehicles, reliable home and workplace charging is becoming as essential as a garage power point was a generation ago.

A dedicated EV charger is faster, smarter and more efficient than plugging into a standard outlet. When combined with your solar system, you can charge your vehicle directly from sunlight, reducing your fuel costs significantly and making the most of your solar investment.

Solar plus EV charging: Charging from solar during the day can cost as little as $0 per kWh versus paying grid rates of $0.35 to $0.45/kWh overnight. Over a year, this saves the average EV driver $800 to $1,500 in charging costs alone.

Charger Types

Choosing the right charger for your needs.

EV charger output is measured in kilowatts (kW). More kW means more kilometres of range added per hour. Here is how the common options compare for home and business use.

2.4kW

Standard outlet (10A)

Trickle Charge

Adds approximately 10 to 12km range per hour. Very slow for regular use. A full charge from empty can take 30+ hours. Not recommended as a primary charging solution.

7kW

Single-phase dedicated charger

Home Level 2

Adds 40 to 45km range per hour. Most EVs are fully charged overnight in 8 to 10 hours. Ideal for the majority of Australian homes. Integrates well with solar. The most cost-effective home charging upgrade.

11 to 22kW

Three-phase dedicated charger

Fast Home or Commercial

Adds 80 to 120km range per hour on a three-phase supply. Charges most EVs in 2 to 4 hours. Suitable for commercial sites, fleet vehicles, or homes with three-phase power already installed.

Solar Integration

Charge your EV with the energy your roof generates.

Integrating your EV charger with your solar system is one of the most financially effective things you can do with solar generation. Instead of exporting excess solar at low feed-in rates, you use it to fill your car battery at near-zero cost.

Use excess solar generation to charge your vehicle during the day

Smart chargers detect available solar and adjust charge rate automatically

Reduce reliance on grid electricity for both home and transport

Combine with battery storage for overnight solar-powered charging

Some systems allow vehicle-to-home discharge, using your car as a backup battery

App control allows scheduling charges to coincide with solar peaks or off-peak tariffs

Home EV Charging

FAQ

Common EV charger questions.

Yes. A dedicated circuit is required for a Level 2 home EV charger, installed by a licensed electrician. Track Energy handles the full electrical installation including the dedicated circuit, appropriate protection devices and charger mounting.

Most modern switchboards can accommodate an EV charger with minor modifications. Older switchboards may require an upgrade. Track Energy will assess your switchboard capacity as part of the site evaluation at no extra cost.

Yes, with the right charger and inverter setup. Some EV chargers can communicate with your solar inverter and automatically adjust the charge rate to match available solar generation. This maximises solar self-consumption and minimises grid purchases.

Single-phase chargers (7kW) are standard for most Australian homes and suit daily top-up charging. Three-phase chargers (11 to 22kW) require a three-phase electrical supply and deliver faster charging, more relevant for commercial sites or homes already on three-phase power.

A typical home EV charger and installation in South Australia costs $1,200 to $2,500 depending on the charger model, installation complexity and distance from the switchboard. Track Energy will provide a fixed-price quote based on a site assessment.
