Yes, on every CBD Heritage Conservation Area install. Heritage Western Cape limits visible exterior charger placement on listed Cape Dutch properties. Quote concealed-routing or rear-yard placement at premium R55,000-R95,000 installed with Heritage Western Cape approval admin (R8,500-R28,000). Standard front-of-house installs often rejected.
A standard Level 2 (32A, 7kW) wall-mount install runs R6,000 to R17,500 in the US, £900-2,500 in the UK, AR7,500-4,000 in Australia, R12,000-35,000 in South Africa, and CR7,500-3,800 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 R7,500. 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.
