Costs — home EV charging on the Sunshine Coast

Installation cost depends on cable run, board condition and hardware — not your car's brand. We quote fixed prices.

What this topic covers

  • What moves the installation price

    Distance, phase, wall type, and whether a board upgrade or load management is needed.

  • Hardware versus labour

    Both are itemised so you can see what changing charger brand does to the total.

  • Running cost per kilometre

    A typical EV uses 15–18kWh per 100km — multiply by your rate for cost per 100km.

  • Payback

    A home charger commonly pays for itself within a year or two versus public DC charging.

Key facts

  • We quote fixed prices — the quote is the invoice.
  • Variations are only raised for things not visible at assessment, and always before work proceeds.
  • Overnight charging typically costs a fraction of public DC fast charging.
