Pricing
EV charger installation cost in Australia.
Straight numbers, no fluff. A simple single-phase install usually costs $700–$900 for labour, plus your charger hardware. Complex jobs cost more — here's what drives the difference.
Indicative pricing
| Item | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Standard single-phase install (charger near switchboard) | $700 – $900 |
| Long cable run (10m+) | +$100 – $300 |
| Three-phase installation | +$300 – $600 |
| Switchboard upgrade (older boards) | +$400 – $1,500 |
| Charger hardware (single-phase, from) | $500 – $1,500 |
| Tesla Wall Connector Gen 3 | ~$750 |
Prices are indicative estimates only. Your installer confirms the final price after a site check, before starting any work.
What affects your quote
- Distance from your switchboard to the charger location
- Whether the cable runs through a wall cavity, roof space or externally in conduit
- Single-phase vs three-phase supply
- Condition of your switchboard (space, RCBO capacity, safety switches)
- Whether the mounting surface is timber, brick, render or Colorbond
- State-based compliance requirements and certificate fees
How to keep the cost down
Mount close to the switchboard. Every extra metre of cable adds material and labour. If your switchboard is in the garage, put the charger there too when you can.
Stick with single-phase if it's enough. 7.4kW covers overnight charging for almost every Australian home. Three-phase only pays off for very long daily distances or shared chargers.
Check state rebates. Some states offer subsidies for EV chargers when paired with solar. Ask your installer what's currently on offer in your area.
