Westmead EV Charger
Installations

We offer both options — supply-and-install or install-only — depending on what suits you. If you don't already have a charger, we can supply one as part of the installation and make sure you get the right model for your setup.

If you've already purchased a charger yourself, that's no problem either. We're happy to carry out a professional installation and handle all the wiring, configuration, and testing.

AC Charging
• Source: Most commonly available from residential outlets and public charging stations.
• Charging Speed: Generally slower. Charging power is typically up to 22 kW for home chargers and public AC chargers.
• Usage: Ideal for overnight charging at home or in places where the vehicle will be parked for an extended period (e.g., workplace).
• Conversion: The EV's onboard charger converts AC from the charging station into DC to store in the battery.
• Infrastructure: More widespread and easier to install, often using existing electrical infrastructure.

DC Charging
• Source: Specialised public charging stations, often found along highways and in commercial areas.
• Charging Speed: Significantly faster. Charging power can range from 50 kW to over 350 kW, allowing for much quicker replenishment of the battery.
• Usage: Ideal for quick top-ups during long trips or when a fast turnaround is needed.
• Conversion: The conversion from AC to DC is done by the charging station itself, which then directly supplies DC to the EV's battery.
• Infrastructure: Requires more robust and costly infrastructure, including higher power delivery capabilities.

Yes — virtually all home EV chargers use a Type 2 connector, which is the standard on nearly every electric car sold in Australia. This includes vehicles from Tesla, Hyundai, Nissan, BYD, MG, BMW, Audi, Volvo, and more.

In short, a quality Type 2 charger will safely charge almost any EV or plug-in hybrid on the road today.

• Faster charging speeds, typically 11 kW to 22 kW.
• Ability to charge multiple EVs simultaneously (if your electrical system can handle the load).
• Potentially higher resale value for your home.

• Inspect your switchboard to check electrical capacity, available circuit space, and overall condition.
• Confirm the charger mounting location for safe installation, convenient access to your vehicle, and proper cable routing.
• Run dedicated wiring from the switchboard to the charger location — either surface-mounted or concealed depending on your home layout.
• Mount the charger securely on a wall or post.
• Install any required sensors or CT clamps for load management or solar integration features.
• Configure and commission the charger, including app setup, Wi-Fi connection, and charging mode preferences.
• Test the system by plugging in your EV and confirming everything operates correctly.

Yes — most quality EV chargers carry an IP65 rating or higher, meaning they're fully protected against dust and heavy rain. They can be mounted on an external wall, carport post, or anywhere within reach of your parked vehicle.

We'll make sure the installation location is safe, compliant, and positioned to avoid unnecessary exposure to sun or water pooling.

Yes — many smart EV chargers can monitor your solar production in real time and divert surplus energy to your car. When your panels are generating more power than your home is using, the charger routes that excess into your EV instead of exporting it to the grid.

If you don't have solar panels, or it's night time, the charger simply draws power from the grid like a standard unit. You can install a solar-compatible charger now and take full advantage of the solar features later if you add panels down the track.

• Smartphone apps to start/stop charging, view usage data, set schedules, etc.
• Integration with home automation systems like Google Home or Apple HomeKit.
• Remote access and diagnostics by the charger manufacturer or your electrician.
• Energy consumption tracking and reporting for billing purposes.

No — most EV chargers will charge your car and run scheduled sessions without an internet connection. You can typically set schedules and adjust settings directly on the unit itself.

However, an internet connection is needed if you want to control or monitor charging remotely via a smartphone app, receive firmware updates, or view detailed energy usage statistics. If app-based features are important to you, make sure the charger's mounting location has a reliable Wi-Fi signal.
