Safe, practical EV charging designed around your vehicle, switchboard, electrical supply and solar system.
EV charging that suits the property — not just the car
An EV charger must be selected and installed as part of the property’s electrical system. Maxim Energy checks the available supply, switchboard, cable route, charger location, vehicle requirements and any existing solar or battery system before recommending a solution.
We install EV chargers for Melbourne homes and businesses, including new installations, charger replacements and charging solutions coordinated with solar generation.
Home EV charging
Dedicated charging for houses, townhouses and other suitable residential properties, with the charger positioned for safe everyday use.
Commercial charging
Site assessment for workplaces, small fleets and customer parking, including supply capacity, load demand, access and future expansion.
Solar-aware charging
Where the charger and energy system support it, charging can be configured to make better use of available solar generation. Compatibility is confirmed before installation.
What we check before installation
- Vehicle model, charging inlet and charging requirements
- Single-phase or three-phase electrical supply
- Main switchboard condition and available capacity
- Proposed charger position and cable route
- Required circuit protection and isolation
- Existing solar, inverter and battery compatibility
- Wi-Fi, Ethernet or other communications where required
- Dynamic load management options
- Parking access and practical cable reach
- Potential future vehicles or additional chargers
Single-phase, three-phase and charging speed
The charger’s advertised maximum output is not always the charging speed the property or vehicle can use. Actual performance depends on the electrical supply, circuit design, charger, onboard vehicle charger, battery state and any load-management settings.
We assess these factors first and explain the practical options. A three-phase property may support a higher-capacity solution, but the vehicle and site still need to be checked. Where supply capacity is limited, dynamic load management may help prevent the charger from overloading the property while other equipment is operating.
Our installation process
1. Site review
We review the vehicle, supply, switchboard, charger location and energy system.
2. Clear recommendation
You receive a suitable charger and installation scope, including any required electrical work.
3. Installation and testing
A qualified electrician installs, protects, configures and tests the charging circuit.
4. Handover
We explain operation, app or network setup where applicable, and practical charging settings.
Why Maxim Energy
Maxim Energy is a Melbourne-based electrical, solar and battery installer with more than six years of industry experience and over 1,200 completed installations. Because EV charging can interact with solar, batteries, switchboards and whole-property demand, we assess the complete electrical picture rather than treating the charger as a stand-alone appliance.
EV Charger FAQs
It depends on the vehicle, charger, property supply, circuit capacity and charging settings. We confirm the realistic charging options for your site before recommending equipment.
Not necessarily. Many homes can use a dedicated single-phase charger. Three-phase power may offer higher capacity for compatible vehicles and chargers, but the benefit and available supply must be checked for each property.
Some chargers and energy-management systems can vary charging to use available solar surplus. The result depends on the charger, inverter, metering, communications and site configuration, so compatibility must be confirmed rather than assumed.
A correctly designed installation includes an assessment of the switchboard, supply and expected loads. Where appropriate, load management can reduce charging output when other major loads are operating.
No single statement covers every vehicle and charger. Connector type, AC charging capability, software and smart features should be checked against the exact vehicle model before purchase.
We can review the charger’s Australian compliance, compatibility, condition and installation requirements. Contact us with the model details and photos of the proposed location and switchboard.
