Most Hurstville EV charger work is in apartment car parks and needs strata approval. Houses in the surrounding streets are simpler.
EV Charger Installation Hurstville: what we typically find
Hurstville's towers need strata approval and a building-wide plan. Houses with garages or carports are simpler.
We check capacity and plan the route.
How the job works in Hurstville
For houses, installation usually takes half a day to a day.
For towers, we provide a written scope for the committee.
For a house in the streets around Hurstville, we check the switchboard and supply, choose a charger position close to where you park, run a dedicated cable and commission the charger with your car. If you already have ducted air conditioning or a pool, we'll pay particular attention to the total load on your supply.
For towers near the station, the process starts with the strata committee. Many older towers were not designed with EV charging in mind, so the building's spare capacity, metering and cable routes need to be assessed. A load management system can let several chargers share the available supply.
We'll explain the options clearly, including what's possible within your car space and what needs building-wide changes.
For homes with off-peak tariffs, scheduling charging overnight can reduce running costs. We'll show you how to set it up during commissioning.
