• DC Fast Chargers: Rapid charging for commercial applications.

The cost of an EV charger installation in Sydney, Australia can vary based on several factors, including the type of charger, installation complexity, and any electrical upgrades needed.

Below is a general breakdown of the costs you can expect:

1. Cost of the EV charger itself:

• Basic Level 2 Home Charger:
  • These are the most common home chargers and typically cost between AUD $700 to $1,500, depending on the brand and features.
• Smart Chargers (with Wi-Fi/App Integration):
  • More advanced chargers with features like remote monitoring, scheduling, and smart load management can cost between AUD $1,200 to $2,500.

2. Installation Costs:

Installation costs can vary widely based on the complexity of the job and your existing electrical infrastructure. On average, the installation cost for a standard home charger in Sydney is between AUD $600 to $1,500.

Factors that influence installation costs include:

• Proximity to the electrical switchboard: If the installation point is far from the switchboard, additional wiring and materials will increase the cost.
• Upgrades to your electrical system: Some homes may require an electrical system upgrade to handle the increased power demand. This can range from AUD $500 to $2,000 or more, depending on the extent of the work.
• Labour rates: We typically charge between AUD $100 to $150 per hour, but this can vary depending on the complexity and urgency of the installation.

3. Total Estimated Cost:

For a typical residential installation of a Level 2 charger in Sydney, the total cost (charger + installation) usually ranges between AUD $1,300 to $3,500. For more advanced setups or commercial installations, the price can be higher, especially if you’re installing multiple charging points or high-capacity chargers (like DC fast chargers).

4. Additional Considerations:

• Government Incentives and Rebates: Depending on the time of purchase and installation, there may be government rebates or incentives available for EV charger installations, which can help offset costs.
• Ongoing Maintenance and Software Fees: Some smart chargers may come with subscription fees for software updates and app functionality.
