EV Home Chargers: The New Zealand Guide

Wall-mounted charging points offer the best solution for charging an EV at home.

A qualified electrician must install the unit. Expect to pay between $500-1200 for the installation – it varies depending on options and the distance from your main circuit board.

Some charger retailers offer a complete package and will quote for the electrical work.

Tethered: The cable is built into the charger (you don’t need an extra cable).
Untethered: The unit only has a socket. You need your own cable – which will cost around $220+.
Charging Speed: All wall chargers are capable of 7.2 kW (32A single-phase charging). If your building has three-phase power, you must choose carefully, as not all chargers are configured for this.
The charger will add 100 km of range to an EV in about two hours (calculate EV charging cost).
