What You Need to Know AboutI Installing A Home Electric Vehicle Charger


Electric vehicles are popping out everywhere. For those driving these cars, it is best to have an electric vehicle (EV) charging station. But where to start to have one installed on your property? Having a trusted and capable Sydney emergency electrician is the way to go. A professional call out electrician knows what to do and what’s needed to ensure the seamless use of your EV charging station.


Why is an Electrician Needed When Installing an EV Charger?


EV charger installation is a complex process. It requires the expertise of someone trained and experienced in the installation process. He must also be versed in making sure that every part of the property's electrical wiring system is compatible with the charger. 


The Correct Cabling


Apart from ensuring that the location of the EV charger is in the right place, electricians also make sure that the property has the cabling needed to supply power to the EV charging station. The cable connecting the charger and the electrical switchboard must have the thickness for the right amount of electricity to travel and avoid overloading.


Capable Electrical Switchboard


The next thing to ensure is that the house has an electrical switchboard capable of handling the demands of an EV charger. Our team of Level 2 ASP Electricians recommend transitioning to a 3-Phase Switchboard for those who have yet to upgrade. This electrical switchboard was designed to handle significantly greater power demand. Having the right electrical switchboard in place makes sure that the EV charging station is not eating up all the electricity for the property.


Must-Have Safety Devices


Due to the significant amount of power needed by this device, it needs safety devices in the event it breaks. A well-trained electrician knows which devices must be installed in pair with an EV charger. The Residual Current Devices (RCD) Switch is one of those devices that protect the property in case an EV charger malfunctions. This equipment protects properties from extreme electrical hazards and has been compulsory to be installed in all properties in NSW.


Can Any Electrician Perform an EV Charging Station Installation?


It is best to have a trusted, experienced and licensed call out electrician do the installation of an electric car charger. Having the needed skills and experience helps in making the most of this device. Aside from ensuring that all safety precautions are taken, a licensed and experienced local emergency electrician can also help choose the right location and how to install an EV charging station in apartments or other multi-dwelling properties.
