Sydney - Tesla Home Charger installation

[sydneyguy]

Any recommendations who can help me in installation of a charger / supercharger for Model 3 at home in my car garage in Sydney? Thanks in advance.

You mean just the regular Tesla wall charger right?

Any decent sparky knows the drill these days.

Yes. The installation for regular tesla wall charger at home in the car garage. Has anyone installed this recently at home? How much is the installation cost apart from the cost of buying the wall charger.?

Cost depends on many factors including distance from the meter box and whether you’re doing single or 3 phase. Likely anywhere between $500 and $2000

Installation costs are site specific. If your electrical panel is quite close to where you want to put the charger it will be cheaper than if they have to run a cable through the roof space to the other end of the house. Best to get your electrician out for a quote. They can also pre wire it up if you haven't got the charger yet, and then finish the install when the charger arrives.

Check with your electricity network operator as there have been recent developments with trials for EV charging which includes free chargers and install. Endeavor energy in NSW have recently opened applications for trials.

I’m having solar installed and they need to add a sub switchboard in the garage to connect the invertor (as current switchboard is full).

After agreeing on the quote, I asked them about whether they could wire up a wall charger. They said that as they will be there anyway, it will only take them an extra hour so charging me $140.

So effectively the wall charger is subsiding my solar installation by around $1000, which is what an electrician would charge if I had to call one out.

To sum up, if you can get other necessary electrical work done at the same time, you might be better paying an hourly rate.
