EV charger installation in Charlestown NSW

What we see in Charlestown homes

Charlestown is a mix - 1970s and 80s brick veneer through to newer infill. Many homes already carry 63A single-phase service, which handles a 7 kW charger without a supply upgrade. VERIFY locally.

Charlestown sits in Lake Macquarie City, a different council from Newcastle. That makes no difference to the Ausgrid notification, but it changes who you deal with for any building work around the install.

Worth knowing locally. Double-storey homes here frequently have the switchboard on the opposite side to the garage. Worth checking before you accept a fixed quote.

Permits and inspection in Charlestown

Electrical network notifications for Charlestown are issued by Ausgrid, and power is supplied by Ausgrid. We pull the network notification in our name, book the inspection and meet the inspector on site. You do not need to file anything or take a day off work for it.

Common questions in Charlestown

Do I need a network notification for an EV charger in Charlestown?
Yes. Electrical network notifications in Charlestown go through Ausgrid, and the install has to pass inspection. We pull the network notification and meet the inspector — it is part of the job, not an extra.
How long does an install take in Charlestown?
Three to five hours for a standard install, usually finished in one visit. We are 20 minutes from the Newcastle CBD, so scheduling is rarely the bottleneck.
Will my Charlestown home need a switchboard upgrade?
Charlestown is a mix - 1970s and 80s brick veneer through to newer infill. Many homes already carry 63A single-phase service, which handles a 7 kW charger without a supply upgrade. VERIFY locally.
Can you install a charger I bought myself?
Yes — Tesla, ChargePoint, Wallbox, Emporia, Grizzl-E and most others. Our install price is the same whether you supply the unit or we do.
