EV Charger Installation Auckland

Yes. In New Zealand, all EV charger installations must be carried out by a registered electrician under the Electricity Act. A licensed electrician signs off the work and provides a Certificate of Compliance. Using an unlicensed installer is illegal, can invalidate your home insurance, and may create issues when selling your property.

Yes. We install the Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector for all Tesla models across Auckland — including Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X. We can supply the Wall Connector at trade pricing, or install a unit you've already purchased. The Gen 3 connects via WiFi and integrates with the Tesla app for scheduled charging and power management. Every installation is signed off with a Certificate of Compliance.

Absolutely. We're happy to install client-supplied chargers. Just get in touch with the make and model and we'll confirm it's compatible with NZ standards and give you a quote for the installation only. We work with all major brands and most minor ones too.

We install a wide range of brands including Tesla Wall Connector, Evinex, Zappi, Wallbox, JuiceBox, Schneider EVlink, and more. We're not tied to a single brand — our job is to recommend and install whatever works best for your situation.

Most home EV charger installations take between half a day and a full day. It depends on the cable run distance, whether any switchboard work is needed, and the specific charger being installed. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when we quote the job.

It depends on your current switchboard and available supply capacity. Most modern switchboards are fine. We always assess this as part of the quoting process — if an upgrade is needed we'll tell you upfront with a clear price.

Load management (also called smart charging or dynamic load balancing) controls how much power your EV charger draws based on your home's total electricity demand at any given time. It stops your main fuse from tripping when the charger runs alongside high-draw appliances like ovens, heat pumps, or hot water cylinders. For most modern Auckland homes with an adequate switchboard, it's optional — but for older properties, homes with solar, or commercial premises running multiple chargers, building it in from day one is the smart move. Chargers like the Zappi and Wallbox have built-in load management. We'll advise at the quote stage.

Yes, tenants can install EV chargers with written permission from the landlord under NZ tenancy rules. As a landlord, adding an EV charger is increasingly seen as a desirable upgrade for Auckland properties. We can provide a quote for either scenario.

Yes. We install EV charging infrastructure for offices, retail premises, hospitality venues, apartment buildings, and car parks across Auckland. We can design and install single-charger setups or multi-bay commercial charging stations with load management included.

Installation costs vary depending on the complexity of the cable run, whether any switchboard work is needed, and the charger itself. A straightforward home installation is typically more affordable than people expect. The best way to get an accurate number is to get in touch — quotes are always free.
