We know it’s frustrating when websites give you this answer, but it depends.
The total price of your charger setup will depend on the model and configuration of the device, your installer’s rates, and your home’s electrical infrastructure.
Generally speaking, the price for device itself will likely be in the $1,000-2,000 range, and the installation will set you back an additional $800-1,400.
I’m pretty handy; do I really need a licensed electrician?
Yes, you really do. Potential hazards and voided warranties aside, it’s illegal for an unlicensed person to install an EV charger.
How long will I have to wait after placing my order?
Depending on contractor availability, usually 1-2 weeks.
How long does the installation usually take?
Around 3-5 hours.
How fast does it charge?
In fast mode, you can fully charge most electric vehicles in 3-4 hours. Exact speeds will vary depending on your car’s inverter.
Can I set a charging schedule to use off-peak electricity rates?
Absolutely! You can set up preferred charging times in the Earth EV app.
Once the charger is installed, how do I actually charge my EV?
It’s as simple as charging your phone—just plug the tether into your vehicle’s charging port. When you’re ready to go, press the Stop & Unlock button (the hand-circle symbol under the V in “EARTH EV”) and unplug the tether.
If you’ve set up an automatic charging schedule or want to customise your charging using the Earth EV app, just plug in your EV and follow the instructions in the app.
My house has solar panels, can I use them to power the Earth EV charger?
Absolutely, but we’ll need to do some additional wiring to get everything connected. Contact us to find out more.
I don’t have solar panels yet, but I might in the future—can I switch over to solar later?
Planning ahead is a great idea! Just let your electrician know so they can install CT clamps when they’re installing the charger.
Can I set up a charging station and charge other people for using it?
You will be able to very soon. We’ll be rolling out a software update for the Earth EV app that makes this possible—this space!
I’ve heard there are tax benefits for EV owners and home chargers; how does that work?
You will be able to very soon. We’ll be rolling out a software update for the Earth EV app that makes this possible—this space!
What safety certifications and features does the Earth EV charger have?
- EESS (Electrical Equipment Safety System) registration and certification.
- Certificate of Conformity for complying with all Australian safety standards.
- Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM) for compliance with both electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations.
Australia has some of the highest electrical safety standards in the world, so going with the Aussie-approved Earth EV system is much safer than using uncertified, imported products. Our systems are safe to install and use, and the EMC compliance means they don’t cause (and are unaffected by) electromagnetic interference.
What kind of after-sales support and technical assistance do you provide?
