Charge at home off your own solar — a tidy, properly-wired EV charger sized to your switchboard and your car.
A home charger lets you fill the car off your own roof — top up overnight on off-peak, or straight from the solar through the day. We install EV chargers as part of a new solar and battery system or as a standalone job, wired in by licensed electricians and matched to your switchboard. Here are the units we fit most often, and why.
Tesla's Wall Connector is the home charger we fit most often — a clean, well-built unit with one of the tidiest apps in the category behind it. Despite the badge it charges any Type 2 EV, not just a Tesla, and it scales from a single home charger up to a setup that shares power across several units. The default when a customer wants something that looks the part on the wall and just gets on with the job.

Designed and built just across the ditch in New Zealand, the Evnex E2 is the smartest solar charger we fit. Hook up its CT clamp and it diverts your excess solar straight into the car — ramping up and down with the clouds instead of drawing from the grid — while built-in load management keeps an eye on the whole house so it never trips your main switch. With a four-year warranty and proper local support behind it, this is the one we recommend when charging off your own roof is the whole point.

From Australian charging outfit Ocular, the LTE Plus is a well-priced workhorse that comes in single-phase 7 kW or three-phase 22 kW — the pick for three-phase homes and sheds where the faster charge rate earns its keep. A colour screen on the front shows exactly what's flowing into the car, the tethered 6 m Type 2 cable reaches wherever you park, and the IP66-rated housing is happy out in the weather on an external wall. App control handles scheduling so the car tops up on off-peak rates without you thinking about it.

We'll size the charger to your switchboard and your car, run it on its own dedicated circuit, and sort load management if the supply needs it — one crew for the solar, the battery and the charger, no juggling trades.
