We supply the hardware; your licensed electrician installs and certifies it. This is the brief to hand them.
Why we don't install
Evtronix supplies, certifies, documents and supports the equipment. We do not perform the electrical installation, and that is a deliberate position rather than a gap in the service.
The person who installs your charger signs the certificate of compliance for that work. They carry the electrical licence and the insurance, they can see your switchboard, and they know the local distributor's requirements. That accountability should sit with a licensed electrician you can call, not with a supplier in another city.
What we owe you is equipment that is properly certified and documentation good enough that a competent electrician can install it without guesswork. That part we take seriously.
The standard that governs the work
AS/NZS 3000:2018 — the Wiring Rules — is the installation standard, and Section 7.9 deals specifically with electric vehicle supply equipment. In broad terms it requires:
A dedicated circuit for the charger. Not shared with the garage lights, not spurred off a power circuit.
Appropriate RCD protection. EV charging equipment introduces the possibility of DC residual current, so the protection type has to suit the equipment — commonly Type B, or Type A where the charger provides its own DC leakage detection. Your electrician determines this from the product documentation.
Correct isolation and labelling so the circuit can be identified and safely isolated at the board.
Cable sizing and protection appropriate to the continuous load — EV charging is a sustained draw for hours, which is a different derating exercise from an intermittent load.
This is the brief, not the design. The design is their professional judgement about your specific installation.
What ships with every unit
The installation manual, including mounting detail and enclosure dimensions.
Wiring diagrams for single-phase and three-phase connection.
Dynamic load balancing setup — where the current sensors go, how they are oriented, and how the charger is configured to read them.
Commissioning and test steps, so the unit is verified working rather than just energised.
Product certification documents — RCM, SAA and the international marks for the model supplied.
If something in there is unclear, your electrician can call us and speak to somebody who has actually commissioned the product.
Site questions worth answering before they arrive
What is the supply? Single or three phase, and what is the main switch rated at.
What spare capacity is at the board? A charger is a large continuous load. If the property is already near its limit, dynamic load balancing is not optional — it is what avoids a supply upgrade.
How far is the run? Distance from board to charger location drives cable size and cost. A long run to a detached garage is often the largest single line on the quote.
Which side is the car's port on, and how does it park? This decides where the unit goes and whether the 8 m cable reaches comfortably. Get it wrong and you live with it daily.
Is there existing solar or a battery? Load balancing, an export limit and a battery all measure the same supply and must be commissioned together.
Indoor or outdoor? Our units are IP65 and IK10 rated for either, but mounting, shade and cable management still deserve thought.
Notifying the network
Some distributors require notification or approval before an EV charger is connected, and requirements differ between networks and between states.
Your electrician will know the local process — it is routine work for them and unfamiliar territory for you. Ask them to confirm it as part of the quote so it is not discovered afterwards.
Where a property is close to its supply limit, a network may accept a load-managed installation that it would refuse at full rate. This is another argument for dynamic load balancing, and it is worth raising early.
What to keep afterwards
The certificate of compliance for the electrical work. Keep it — insurers, buyers and strata committees all eventually ask.
The commissioning record showing the unit was tested under load.
The product certification documents we supplied.
Put all three somewhere you will find them in five years. The day you sell the house or make a claim is the day it matters.
