That’s sounds too much. The “Tesla tax” might be in operation there. I had a 3-phase 32A install with new 3-phase RCBO and concealed cable run through to the sub board for $516 inc GST.I have received a quote of around $750 from O'Brien.
My meter box is just on the other side of the garage wall where the charger will be installed and I do not have 3ph
If the charger is next to the meter box your electrician will be thrilled to get $750 for that job.I have received a quote of around $750 from O'Brien.

Trying to get a couple more before I finalise.
Thanks,

Who did it for you for that price? My Obrien quote was $1000, by my cable run is prob ~7m so it would have added a bit.Finally got the charger installed for $470. Received quotes between $830 and $470.
Happy with the outcome.
You wire the connector like everything else in your house, that is straight to the board with its own breaker. Your invertor then feeds power to the board when it is available, and its up to you to manage loads in your house based on solar being produced. Works well if you have an app showing production and consumption.My recent quote from O'Brien was $1,500 for a 32A dedicated 1p circuit, which is similar to a quote from the electrician who installed my solar panel inverter system. I believe the quote is that high because the switch box is on the other side of the house to my detached brick garage, so there's be a reasonably long heavy core cable run to the garage with conduiting involved between.
Anyway, I opted to go with O'Brien because I felt I'd have some extra come-back if they do a shoddy job as they are a Tesla-endorsed sparkie.
Talking about this though, does anyone who has had a new circuit installed also have solar on their house? I assumed that the wall connector could be wired in to take AC power from the solar inverter, but then I read in another thread that the connector will still pull power from the grid - which sorta defeats the point a little.
Rooftop PV and inverter serves all of your house’s circuits. Adding a “new” circuit in a house just means tapping in a new breaker to the existing wiring from the main board, or a sub-board if you have them. If the total house load is more than what the PV is generating or inverter can supply, then the balance is made from grid draw. If not, you can charge your car purely on solar.Talking about this though, does anyone who has had a new circuit installed also have solar on their house?

I have micro-invertors spread across all phases (2 solar circuits per phase) and yes only one phase can be backed up by PW2.I should add that, strictly speaking, only one phase in a 3-phase house is directly served by solar, unless you have a 3 phase inverter. Further, only one phase will be backed up, if you have a single PW2. However Tesla’s PW2 and Gateway fudges the exported solar on Phase A so that it nets out consumption on all 3 phases, provided the total load is less than 5 kW. So from a billing perspective it’s as if all 3 phases were being run from solar or PW2 or both.
Yes, thanks Mosesvii. I'm looking to install a charger and my initial quote was $1,300 which seems to include a 'Tesla Tax'! I'll certainly be asking around for other quotes.Just an update to this for others looking for more up to date prices in Canberra.
I'm running single-phase and my meter box is about 13m from the wall where the charger is being installed. If yours is closer you may well be able to get a cheaper install.
I reached out to Chesters Electrical as TeslaSam further up in this thread mentioned a crazy cheap price he got. In 2022 they quoted me 1k. It may be due to the busy period all tradies seem to be in atm.
I received about 5 quotes. I was able to lock down an $850 install from 'Electric Vehicles Canberra', that covers all installs up to 15m from the meter box. All other quotes were 1k and above.
Hope this is helpful for someone.
A further update, got another quote and it will be about $750.Yes, thanks Mosesvii. I'm looking to install a charger and my initial quote was $1,300 which seems to include a 'Tesla Tax'! I'll certainly be asking around for other quotes.
