Plug‑in charger vs. hardwired wall‑mounted charger — which is better?
Hide ShowPlug‑in Chargers:
✔ Use with standard 10A GPO or dedicated 32A socket
✔ Portable
✘ Limited to 1.8kW on 10A GPO
✘ Wear and tear from frequent plugging/unplugging
✘ Dependent on existing wiring quality and circuit protection

Do I need a switchboard upgrade?
Hide ShowIt depends on spare capacity for installation of dedicated 2-Pole RCBO, distance to charger location, and charger rating.
Use of dynamic load management system (Peak Controller) can avoid unnecessary upgrades to switchboards by throttling back charging rate when other loads are running.
A licensed electrician can quickly assess this requirement.

Hide ShowYes, when charger has RCM certification and installation is carried out by a licensed electrician.
Appropriate MCB/RCD (RCBO) protection is included.
Will charging at home increase my electricity bill?
Hide ShowCharging increases energy use, but costs can be optimised with off‑peak tariffs, solar charging, and energy‑monitoring tools.
What charger size should I choose?
Hide ShowTypical options:
- 7.4 kW 32A (single‑phase)
- 11kW 16A (three-phase)
- 22 kW 32A (three‑phase)
