The useful charging speed
Fast enough for the car.
Sensible for the home.
The vehicle’s onboard charger, daily kilometres, available supply and charging window decide whether more headline speed adds real value.
22 kW capability
Higher AC rates where both the vehicle and electrical supply can actually use them.
Not every vehicle accepts 22 kWSolar-aware
Compatible equipment can adjust charging around available solar and household demand.
Monitoring compatibility mattersUseful before the quote
Five things to show
the installation team.
A few clear photos can make the first conversation much more accurate.
Switchboard
Door open and closed, with labels visible where safe.
Parking position
Where the charge port sits when the vehicle is parked.
Likely cable route
The path between switchboard and garage or driveway.
Solar equipment
Inverter and monitoring details if solar-aware charging is a goal.
Vehicle model
So connector type and maximum AC charge rate can be checked.
Solar + car + home
Charging can follow
the energy you make.
Solar-aware charging can be useful when the vehicle is home during generation hours, but it needs the right charger, metering and control setup.
If the car usually arrives after sunset, a battery or off-peak grid plan may play a bigger role. PSA can explain the trade-offs without treating every home the same.

EV charging questions
Before the cable

Email the vehicle and switchboard details to sales@psawa.com.au.
Why install a dedicated charger instead of relying on a power point?
A dedicated charger is designed for regular EV charging and is installed with its own correctly selected circuit, protection and cable. PSA still checks the switchboard, supply and vehicle before confirming the equipment and charging rate.
Do I need three-phase power?
No. A 7 kW charger is a practical option for many single-phase homes. Three phase is required for higher AC charging rates.
Will every EV charge at 22 kW?
No. The vehicle's onboard AC charger sets its maximum rate. The property supply and charger must also support that rate.
What does load management do?
Compatible load management can reduce charger demand when the rest of the home is using more power. Whether it is required depends on the available supply, household loads and charger selected.
Can the charger follow excess solar?
Selected charger and monitoring combinations can vary charging around available solar generation. Compatibility is checked before equipment is recommended.
Can charging be scheduled for off-peak times?
Many smart chargers can use app schedules, but functions vary by model and may depend on a reliable data connection. PSA confirms the available controls before installation.
Where can a home charger be mounted?
The position needs to suit the parking layout, vehicle charge port, cable reach, weather exposure and a practical route back to the switchboard. Indoor and outdoor options are assessed on site.
What determines the installation cost?
Cable route, switchboard work, protection, phase, load management, trenching or difficult access can all affect the final scope.
Can I prepare for a second EV?
Yes. Even when one charger is installed now, PSA can consider switchboard capacity, cable routes, load management and the likely parking arrangement for a future vehicle.
