Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1: How much does EV charger installation cost in Lucas?
Installation costs vary depending on your setup, charger choice, and whether switchboard upgrades are needed. Most installations range between $1,500 and $3,500. We provide free quotes after assessing your property.
Question 2: How long does installation take?
Most EV charger installations are completed in one day, typically 3-6 hours depending on the complexity of the job.
Question 3: Do I need 3-phase power?
Not necessarily. Single-phase power is sufficient for most home charging needs, providing 7kW charging speeds. 3-phase power allows faster charging (up to 22kW) but isn't essential for overnight charging.
Question 4: Will my charger work with any EV?
Most chargers work with all EVs using the Type 2 connector (the Australian standard). Tesla vehicles can use Tesla Wall Connectors or universal Type 2 chargers with an adapter.
Question 5: Can I charge from my solar panels?
Absolutely. Smart chargers like the Zappi can prioritize solar charging, helping you maximize your solar investment and reduce charging costs.
Question 6: Do you handle council permits?
We manage all electrical compliance and certification. For most standard installations, council permits aren't required, but we'll advise you if your property needs one.
Question 7: Do Lucas homes usually need switchboard upgrades for EV chargers?
Most homes in Lucas are new enough to have spare capacity. We’ll check your maximum demand from photos and confirm if you need load management or a simple dedicated circuit.
Question 8: How fast will my EV charge at home in Lucas?
Most single-phase homes charge at up to 7.4kW (around 35–45km range per hour). Some Lucas builds have three-phase available, allowing up to 22kW if your EV supports it.
