Wake Up Every Morning With a Full Charge.

Your Standard Power Point Was Never Designed For This.
A standard 10-amp household power point will charge your EV, just very, very slowly. A typical EV gains approximately 10–15km of range per hour from a standard outlet. A full charge takes 24–40 hours.
A dedicated home EV charger, installed on a dedicated circuit by a licensed electrician, changes everything. A quality Level 2 charger delivers 7–22kW, adding 40–120km per hour. Most owners wake up with a full charge after plugging in overnight.
Faster. Safer. Smarter. And a setup that’s designed to last, not an extension lead snaking across your garage floor.
At HSQ Electrical, we install home EV charging solutions for every major EV brand across Melbourne and Victoria.

Everything Victorian EV Owners Need To Know About Home Charging.
How Much Does Home EV Charger Installation Cost in Victoria?
Typically $1,200–$2,500 installed depending on charger model, cable run, and whether a switchboard upgrade is needed. Smart and solar-integrated chargers sit at the higher end.
Do I Need to Upgrade My Switchboard?
Not always, but often. A 7kW charger draws 32A on a dedicated circuit. Many older Victorian switchboards can’t accommodate this. Our pre-installation assessment includes a capacity check.
Can I Charge My EV With Solar Power?
Yes, and it’s one of the most compelling combinations in home energy management. A smart charger can be configured to draw from solar generation preferentially.
What If I Buy a Different EV Later?
All current Australian-market EVs use the Type 2 charging standard, your installation will be compatible with any EV you purchase in the future.
Home EV Charger FAQs Answered.
How long does EV charger installation take?
Most residential installations are completed in one to two days. Larger systems or those requiring switchboard upgrades may take longer.
Can my EV charger be installed outdoors?
Yes, quality solar systems add measurable value to Australian properties and are an attractive feature for buyers.
Will my EV charger work during a power outage?
Yes. We design HSQ solar systems with future battery compatibility in mind.
Can I install the charger myself?
Standard grid-connected solar shuts down during outages (safety requirement). A battery system with blackout protection can maintain power.
Does my strata or body corporate need to approve installation?
Yes, all required accreditations including Clean Energy Council requirements. Installations under REC No. 28315.
