Our installation service

We’ve introduced our AmpCharge home EV charging installation service to ensure a simple and convenient way to get your EV charger installed quickly and safely. Our home EV chargers are simple to use, but they do need to be installed by a licensed electrician before they are ready to power your next journey.

Our installations include the commission and registration of your new EV charger, a full safety test and a demonstration on how to use your new home EV charger by our licensed electrician(s). Installation requirements vary based on different home and parking setups. We will work with you to determine what's required for your home and whether you'll need a 'standard installation' or 'non-standard installation'.

Standard Installation

Standard Installations start from $1,100 (inc. GST) and tend to be installations at owner-occupied homes with off-street parking that require only minor electrical works.

Non-Standard Installation

Non-standard installations are more complex installations. We will provide you with a detailed fee estimate for any additional work if required.

Am I eligible for an Ampol installation? 
Before we get started, let’s see if you’re eligible for a home charger installation with the following criteria: 

  • Your home must be located in Australia and fall within the business area of our service provider.
  • Your home must have off-street parking.
  • The electricity specifications of your home must meet the requirements of your EV charger.
  • Your home must have sufficient spare electrical load capacity to operate an EV charger without exceeding your home’s power limit.
  • Your home must meet the requirements for a safe installation in accordance with all relevant Australian standards (determined by Ampol or our service provider at our discretion).
  • If you’re renting or live in multi-dwelling house, you must obtain written approval by your landlord and/or body corporate for the installation of an EV charger and have provided us with the documentary evidence of necessary approvals.

Charger Installation is as easy as 1, 2, 3, 4

  • Step 1 - Provide details of your home

    You'll need to fill out our Installation Intake Form so we can assess your installation requirements including desired installation location, electrical phasing, switchboard location and Wi-Fi coverage (select models only). This is so we can give you a more accurate fee estimation upfront.

  • Step 2 - Review and accept your estimate

    Your installation estimate will be emailed to you and list what works and services are required. If you decide that you don't want to go through with the installation with us - that's ok. You can arrange your own licensed electrician for your installation.

  • Step 3 - Arrange your installation

    Once payment has been received, we'll schedule your installation date for the next available time to suit you and your installer. The installation takes about 3 hours and it's required for an adult to be home when the install takes place.

  • Step 4 - The big day!

    On the day of your installation, our licensed electrician(s) will install your AmpCharge EV charger and provide a demonstration of "how to use" your charger.

IMPORTANT (South Australia residents): If you want to install an EV charger in South Australia, your EV charger must have OCPP connectivity and be registered on the South Australian EVSE registered equipment compliance list, such as our AmpCharge EV Charger 7kW (registered by EVOS as the equipment manufacturer). Electricians in South Australia are not allowed to install an EV charger in South Australia, unless these requirements are met.

Here are the key components our licensed electricians will install in your home

1. AmpCharge EV charging unit  

We’ll install a new AmpCharge EV charger that will provide up to 7kW of charging speed to your EV. This can be installed on the inside of your garage wall or on an exterior wall of your home.  The charger will be connected to a single-phase (or three-phase) power electrical circuit and have an isolation switch installed within close proximity of the EV charger so that power supply can be switched off if needed (without needing to switch off your home’s power). 

Importantly, to provide the full up to 7kW charging speed, your home must have 32 amps of available capacity. We can help you check this.

2. Electrical circuit and up to 20m of cabling 

We’ll install a new electrical circuit dedicated to your EV charger. This circuit will consist of copper cabling of up to 20 meters (depending on the distance between your switchboard and charger location) and be mounted on your wall and/or ceiling. We’ll install conduit piping to protect the cabling where we're unable to hide it.

3. Switchboard  

We’ll install safety protection for the dedicated electrical circuit that powers your EV charger to help protect against electrical hazards. This installation will include a device that is designed to quickly shut off the power in the event of an electrical fault, such as a short circuit or an overload (in accordance with AS/NZS 3000:2018 Electrical Installation Wiring Rules).

Any custom works carried outside of the above scope of the standard installation. We'll keep you informed throughout the process of any potential additional costs, either as part of our initial remote estimate or when our electrician is onsite.

Any non-standard installation work may result in a reschedule of installation due to the need to source extra materials and/or finalising payment for additional costs. We won’t commence any non-standard installation works until we have provided you a cost estimate, and you have approved and paid for the additional works required. 

Every home is unique, and sometimes there are installations deemed unsafe or too far out of scope for our installation network. We reserve the right to decline such installation requests - if we do, we will notify you of our decision and you can proceed to sourcing your own licensed electrician or request a refund of your EV charger. 

We cannot sell or install our AmpCharge Flash EV charger in South Australia due to new Government guidelines that require all new EV chargers to be OCPP compatible.

For full inclusions, services in addition and exclusions please see our FAQs. 

Yes, if you want to use the AmpCharge Driver Portal which allows you to schedule and monitor your charging sessions, you’ll need to select our Wi-Fi enabled AmpCharge EV Charger 7kW. This charger can still be operated without internet connection but you will not be able to use the AmpCharge Driver Portal.

The AmpCharge EV Charger 7kW Flash model is a good alternative if you don't have internet connectivity.

We’re able to install chargers in apartment buildings as long as your premises meets the eligibility requirements and you have approval by the relevant body corporate, site management or property owner. We can also install in rental properties with written permission from the owner. Written proof will need to be supplied to Ampol in both cases.

A standard installation includes the following works and services:

  • Installation of your 7kW/32 amp EV charger at a location nominated by you, provided this location meets the following requirements:
    • it is in close proximity to your switchboard such that the EV charger can be connected to your switchboard using 20 meters or less of cabling (additional cabling can be installed at extra cost),
    • it is structurally sound, safe and suitable for the safe installation of your EV charger, and
    • it meets the installation requirements set out in the EV charger installation manual
  • Circuit protection device(s) (either an MCB and RCD, or an RCBO) mounted in the existing switchboard.
  • All associated electrical containment and hardware fixings for the installation.
  • Registration, testing and commissioning of your EV charger.
  • Your EV charger will be set to the required input current (AC) level to ensure the charger will not exceed the household capacity or any relevant Service and Installation Rules (SiRs). IMPORTANT: if your home has limited or insufficient electrical capacity, the installer will reduce the charging speed of your EV charger to the extent necessary to guarantee a safe installation.
  • Installation as per AS/NZS 3000:2018 Electrical Installation Wiring Rules.
  • In-person instructions on ‘how to use’ your new home EV charger.

  • Associated travel costs outside of 50km of assigned licensed electrician (you'll be notified if your property is outside of the 50km of installer location).      
  • Call outs for unsuccessful scheduled installations. 
  • Site inspections (not including scheduled installation).
  • Supply and installation of any additional items not already included in a standard installation.

In Queensland, when installing an EV charger, homeowners must either limit their charger to 20 Amp or have the electricity distributor (Energex or Ergon Energy) install a ‘network device’ that allows them to remotely de-energise the charger during peak demand periods. This will effectively inhibit use of the charger when necessary to avoid a negative impact on the electricity grid. Our installation team will manage the request to Energex or Ergon Energy on your behalf and at no cost to you.

All residential home EV chargers in South Australia must comply with OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) standards. Our AmpCharge EV Charger 7kW meets this requirement but our alternative model does not and can therefore not be installed in South Australia.
