EV Charger Installation on the Sunshine Coast
Experienced Sunshine Coast Electricians
Thinking about charging your electric vehicle at home instead of hunting for a public station?
DYFA Electrical installs home and workplace EV chargers right across the Sunshine Coast, from Caloundra to Noosa and out to Gympie. Fully licensed, tidy, on time, and guaranteed, just like every other job we do.
An EV charger is a permanent electrical installation that has to be hardwired and tested by a licensed electrician. Get it right the first time and you get faster, safer overnight charging for years. We handle the whole job: assessing your switchboard, supplying the right charger, installing it neatly and certifying the work.
Why Get A Home EV Charger Installed?
A standard power point (Level 1) trickle-charges an EV at roughly 10 to 15 km of range per hour, which can mean more than a day for a full charge. A dedicated 7kW home charger (Level 2) typically adds around 40 km of range per hour, so most drivers wake up to a full battery. It is faster, safer than running an extension lead, and adds value for the growing number of buyers who expect an EV-ready home.
- Charge overnight on cheaper off-peak or solar power
- Stop queuing at public chargers

How Much Does EV Charger Installation Cost?
Most Sunshine Coast homeowners pay somewhere between $1200 and $2500 for a supplied and installed 7kW home charger. The final price depends on the charger you choose, how far the cable has to run from the switchboard and whether your switchboard needs an upgrade to take the extra load.
The best way to know is a fixed quote after a quick site assessment. Call our team to schedule a suitable time.
Do I need my switchboard upgraded for an EV charger?
Sometimes A 7kW charger draws a lot of continuous current, and older Sunshine Coast homes with crowded or ageing switchboards may need an upgrade or a dedicated circuit to run one safely. We check this as part of every assessment, and if you do need work, we can handle it in the same visit. Learn more about our switchboard upgrades.
EV Charging & Solar
