If you turn over A$93,750+, register for GST and add 10% as a separate line. Show ABN, CBS SA electrical licence, and eCOC commitment on every quote and invoice.
Quote EV charger as part of solar + battery + charger packages. A$22,500-A$56,250 for 6.6kW solar + 10kWh battery + 22kW EV charger installed (after federal STC and SA Home Battery Scheme rebates). Conversion rate doubles versus standalone EV charger quotes.
A standard Level 2 (32A, 7kW) wall-mount install runs $1,500 to $4,380 in the US, £900-2,500 in the UK, A$1,880-4,000 in Australia, R12,000-35,000 in South Africa, and C$1,880-3,800 in Canada. The unit accounts for 30-50% of the total; the rest is electrical work and certification.
Level 1 uses a standard 10-15A outlet, adds 8-15km of range per hour. Level 2 uses a 32-50A dedicated circuit, adds 40-80km of range per hour. Level 1 suits short-commute drivers; Level 2 is the residential standard. Level 3 (DC fast) is commercial only.
Yes. EV chargers are licensed electrical work. In most regions, an EV-certified electrician is required (OZEV in UK, EV-trained Master Electrician in US/Canada/Australia, wireman's licence holder with EV training in SA). The certification protects you and is required for rebates.
Yes, 2-3 quotes for any install over $1,880. Compare charger brand, cable spec, certification, and warranty. The cheapest quote often skips the load assessment, uses sub-grade cable, or omits the CoC, all of which are dangerous or illegal.
Depends. A 32A EV charger draws 7.4kW continuously. On a 60A main supply with electric oven, geyser, and aircon, you may need a utility upgrade or smart load management. Insist on a written load assessment before installation.
