Your electricity network
Connecting a charger in Chatswood: know your network
Sydney is served by 2 electricity distributors depending on where you are - your electrician confirms which one covers your street before lodging any network paperwork.
Ausgrid
In the Ausgrid network your licensed electrician handles the network side of the job, lodging a connection or load application with Ausgrid before installing a charger above the network's size threshold. Many older homes across Sydney, the Central Coast and the Hunter are single phase, so a switchboard and supply capacity check is standard before fitting a 7kW unit. Ausgrid's time-of-use network tariffs include cheap overnight windows that retailers package into EV plans.
Ausgrid connection info →Endeavour Energy
Endeavour Energy expects the installing electrician to manage any required network application, with chargers above the network's size threshold needing approval before connection. A 7kW single-phase charger is a significant new load, so a supply and switchboard capacity check is standard, and three-phase homes can run faster units. Endeavour supports time-of-use charging through retailer EV plans.
