EV Charger Installation Melbourne
Charge your electric vehicle conveniently at home with a professionally installed EV charging solution. Coop Group provides EV charger installation and electrical assessments across Melbourne and surrounding areas, including Bayswater, Ringwood, Dandenong and many other suburbs.
Convenient EV Charging at Home
Installing a dedicated EV charger gives you a convenient way to charge your electric vehicle from your own property rather than relying solely on public charging infrastructure.
Coop Group provides professional home EV charger installation throughout Melbourne and surrounding areas, servicing homes across the eastern, south-eastern and other suburbs, including Bayswater, Ringwood and Dandenong.
Our electrician can assess your existing electrical installation, switchboard, available electrical capacity and proposed charger location before determining what is required for the installation.
The right setup will depend on factors including your vehicle, charger specifications, available electrical supply, switchboard capacity and the distance between the switchboard and parking location.
In some homes, the existing electrical installation may already be suitable for the proposed charger. Other properties may require a new dedicated circuit, switchboard work or additional electrical upgrades before the charger can be installed.
Whether you already own an electric vehicle or are preparing your home for one, Coop Group can provide an EV charging solution tailored to your property.

Do I need an electrician to install an EV charger?
Yes. A dedicated home EV charger connected to the property’s electrical supply must be installed by a licensed electrician.
Can I charge my electric vehicle at home?
Yes. Many EV owners charge their vehicles at home.
A dedicated home EV charger can provide a more purpose-designed charging solution than relying on a standard household power outlet.
What type of EV charger can be installed at home?
The appropriate charger depends on your electric vehicle, property and electrical supply.
Australian Government guidance notes that dedicated home AC chargers are commonly available in the approximately 7 kW to 22 kW range, although the charging capacity actually available to your vehicle will depend on the charger, vehicle and electrical installation.
What size EV charger do I need?
There is no single charger size suitable for every property.
The appropriate charging capacity depends on factors including:
- Your electric vehicle
- The vehicle’s onboard charging capability
- Your typical charging requirements
- The charger being installed
- Whether the property has single-phase or three-phase power
- Available electrical capacity
- Existing switchboard and electrical infrastructure
We can assess the electrical side of the installation before the final charger arrangement is confirmed.
Do I need three-phase power for an EV charger?
Not necessarily.
Many homes can use an EV charger with a single-phase supply. Higher-capacity charging equipment may require or benefit from three-phase power, depending on the charger and vehicle.
The existing electrical supply should be assessed before selecting the final installation configuration.
Can you install an EV charger on single-phase power?
Potentially, yes.
The available charging capacity will depend on the existing electrical supply, charger specifications, vehicle and other loads within the property.
Can you install a three-phase EV charger?
If the property has a suitable three-phase electrical supply and the charger and vehicle support the proposed configuration, a three-phase installation may be possible.
An electrical assessment is required before confirming this.
Does my switchboard need to be upgraded for an EV charger?
Not always.
However, the existing switchboard and electrical supply need to be assessed before installing a dedicated EV charger.
Australian Government guidance notes that installation of a home EV charger may require an upgrade to the switchboard or supply connection.
What if I still have an old switchboard?
If your switchboard contains ageing equipment, ceramic fuses, limited circuit protection or insufficient capacity, additional switchboard work may be recommended before the EV charger is connected.
Coop Group can assess the existing switchboard as part of the project.
Does an EV charger need its own electrical circuit?
Dedicated EV charging equipment requires an electrical installation designed for the charger and property.
Our electrician will determine the appropriate circuit, cabling and protective equipment based on the charger specifications and applicable electrical requirements.
Where can an EV charger be installed?
Common locations include:
- Residential garages
- Carports
- Driveways
- Dedicated parking spaces
- Suitable exterior walls near the vehicle
The proposed position needs to be considered alongside the switchboard location, cable route, charger specifications and environmental conditions.
Can an EV charger be installed ou
Can an EV charger be installed outside?
Many EV chargers are designed for suitable outdoor installations.
The selected charger must be appropriate for the proposed environment and installed in accordance with its specifications and applicable electrical requirements.
