EV Charger Installation Ballarat
More Than 410,000 Australians Already Drive An Electric Vehicle. Is Your Home Ready?
Whether you’re buying your first EV or upgrading your current charging setup, Ballarat Solar Company provides safe, reliable EV charger installation tailored to your home and lifestyle.
Electric vehicles are no longer the future; they’re here today.
Australia now has more than 410,000 electric vehicles on the road, with record sales continuing throughout 2026 as more drivers make the switch from petrol and diesel vehicles.
Installing a dedicated home EV charger means you can charge faster, safer and more conveniently than using a standard household power point.
Moreover, charging your EV with solar is one of the smartest ways to maximise the value of your solar investment while reducing your ongoing transport costs.
Around 80% of EV Charging Happens at Home. Here's Why.
The best place to charge your electric vehicle isn’t at a public charging station.
It’s your own driveway.
A professionally installed home EV charger allows you to:
- Charge overnight while you sleep.
- Wake up to a fully charged vehicle each morning.
- Avoid queues at public charging stations.
- Take advantage of off-peak electricity tariffs where available.
- Enjoy faster charging than a standard wall socket.
Once you’ve experienced the convenience of home charging, it’s difficult to imagine owning an EV any other way.
Modern EV chargers are packed with intelligent features designed to make charging easier and more efficient.
Depending on the charger you choose, features may include:
- Scheduled charging
- Wi-Fi connectivity
- Mobile app control
- Solar integration
- Dynamic load balancing
- Usage monitoring
- Multiple charging modes
We’ll recommend the charger that best suits your vehicle, electrical system and future needs.

Questions Ballarat Homeowners Ask About EV Chargers
Why should I install a dedicated EV charger instead of using a standard power point?
A dedicated EV charger charges significantly faster than a standard household power point while providing enhanced safety features designed specifically for electric vehicles.
How long does it take to charge an electric vehicle at home?
Charging time depends on your vehicle, battery size and charger type. A dedicated home charger can reduce charging times considerably compared to a standard power outlet.
Can I charge my EV using solar power?
Yes. If you have rooftop solar, your EV charger can use electricity generated by your solar system. This helps reduce your charging costs while making better use of your renewable energy.
Can I install an EV charger if I don't have solar?
Absolutely. A home EV charger provides faster, safer and more convenient charging regardless of whether you have solar panels. You can always add solar later if you choose.
What type of EV charger do I need?
The right charger depends on your vehicle, driving habits, electrical system and future requirements. We’ll recommend the most suitable solution based on your needs.
Do I need a switchboard upgrade?
Some homes may require electrical upgrades before an EV charger can be safely installed. We’ll inspect your switchboard during our site assessment and explain any work that may be required.
Can an EV charger be installed outdoors?
Yes. Many modern EV chargers are specifically designed for outdoor installation and are built to withstand Australian weather conditions when installed correctly.
Can I monitor my charging?
Many smart EV chargers include mobile apps that allow you to monitor charging sessions, schedule charging during off-peak times and track electricity usage.
Will my EV charger work with future electric vehicles?
Most quality EV chargers are compatible with a wide range of electric vehicles. We’ll recommend a charger that not only suits your current vehicle but also provides flexibility for future upgrades.
