1
Vehicle and charger compatibility
Record the vehicle model, connector, onboard AC charging limit and the charger models you are considering. Charger output is only useful when the vehicle and property can support it.
Home EV charging planner
Plan the electrical scope before choosing an EV charger
Start with the vehicle, electrical supply, parking position and charging routine. Then compare itemised proposals for the charger and installation work your property actually needs.
A request may be sent to up to three eligible suppliers, subject to service-area and supplier availability. Matches, responses and quotes are not guaranteed.

Before requesting proposals
Four details that shape the installation
Collecting these details helps suppliers identify what still needs an on-site assessment and makes proposal differences easier to understand.
2
Electrical capacity
Ask an electrician to assess the switchboard, available supply, existing circuits, protection devices and other large household loads before recommending charger output.
3
Cable route and parking position
Identify where the vehicle parks, where the charger could be mounted and whether the route crosses walls, ceilings, outdoor areas, driveways or common property.
4
Solar, tariffs and load management
List any rooftop solar, battery, controlled-load or time-of-use arrangements. Smart features vary, so confirm compatibility rather than assuming every charger can coordinate with the existing system.
Charger and capacity
The highest charger rating is not automatically the right choice
Charging is constrained by the vehicle, charger and property supply. Ask the installer to explain the proposed output, the electrical assumptions behind it and how household load will be managed.
Fixed EV-charger installation is not a DIY project. Use an appropriately licensed electrical contractor and confirm the requirements that apply in your jurisdiction.
Vehicle limit
What is the vehicle’s maximum AC charging input, and does the proposed charger exceed it?
Property supply
What supply and spare capacity are available after existing household loads are considered?
Protection and control
What dedicated circuit, protection devices or load-management controls are proposed?
Installation position
Is the charger suitable for the mounting location, cable reach and exposure conditions?
Apartments and shared property
Treat one charger as part of a building-wide plan
Shared parking and common electrical infrastructure introduce approval, access, capacity and billing questions that detached homes may not have.
- Approval process for parking bays, walls, cable routes and other common property
- Building-wide electrical-capacity assessment and any staged charging plan
- Load management where several residents may add chargers over time
- Metering, electricity billing and responsibility for ongoing maintenance
- Emergency access, signage and building-specific fire-safety requirements

What an itemised quote should show
This page does not publish a national installation price because site conditions, equipment and electrical work differ. An itemised proposal is more useful than an unsupported national figure.
Charger
Brand, model, rated output, connector or cable arrangement, warranty and included smart features.
Electrical work
Dedicated circuit, cable size and route, protection devices, isolation and any load-management equipment.
Switchboard and supply
Assessment assumptions, proposed upgrades and any work that sits outside the quoted scope.
Mounting and access
Charger position, conduit, trenching, penetrations, weather exposure and making good.
Commissioning
Testing, configuration, handover information and the compliance documents required in the jurisdiction.
Exclusions
Network, metering, strata, civil, solar-integration or remedial work not included in the proposal.
How it works

Supplier request
Get up to 3 free EV charger quotes for your property
Requesting quotes is free for homeowners, and a request may be sent to up to three eligible suppliers, subject to service-area and supplier availability. Share the vehicle, property, preferred charger features and known electrical details.
Eligible suppliers and responses depend on location, project scope and availability. Independently verify licensing, credentials, insurance, inclusions and compliance responsibilities before hiring.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to the questions homeowners usually ask before comparing quotes.
1 How should I compare EV charger installation quotes?
How should I compare EV charger installation quotes?
Compare the charger model, rated output, dedicated-circuit work, protection devices, cable route, switchboard work, commissioning, compliance documentation and exclusions. Installation scope varies by property and supplier, so compare itemised inclusions rather than a headline figure.
2 Should I consider a smart EV charger?
Should I consider a smart EV charger?
Smart features may help with charging schedules, household load management, energy monitoring and coordination with rooftop solar. Check that the charger is compatible with your vehicle, electricity plan and any existing solar or battery equipment.
3 Does my switchboard need to be assessed?
Does my switchboard need to be assessed?
An electrician should assess the available electrical capacity, existing circuits, protection devices, proposed charger output and cable route. The assessment determines whether the charger can be added as proposed or whether other electrical work is needed.
4 Can a home EV charger use rooftop solar?
Can a home EV charger use rooftop solar?
Some chargers can coordinate charging with available rooftop-solar generation. Whether that is useful depends on compatible equipment, household demand, when the vehicle is parked at home and the settings supported by the charger and energy system.
5 What determines home charging speed?
What determines home charging speed?
Charging speed is limited by the charger, the vehicle’s onboard AC charging capability and the electrical supply available at the property. A higher-rated charger does not make a vehicle charge faster than the vehicle or supply can support.
6 What should apartment owners check before requesting quotes?
What should apartment owners check before requesting quotes?
Check the relevant strata or body-corporate process, whether parking or cable routes cross common property, how electrical capacity will be assessed, and whether load management, metering or billing arrangements are required.
7 Can I install a fixed EV charger myself?
Can I install a fixed EV charger myself?
Fixed electrical installation work is not a DIY project. Use an appropriately licensed electrical contractor and confirm the licensing, approval, network and compliance-document requirements that apply in your state or territory and at your property.
8 How does The Wombat quote request work?
How does The Wombat quote request work?
Requesting a supplier match is free for homeowners. A request may be sent to up to three eligible suppliers, subject to service-area and supplier availability. Matches, responses and quotes are not guaranteed, and you should independently verify credentials and scope before hiring.
