EV chargers in Perth
What to know before you get quotes for a home EV charger in Western Power's network.
Step 1: Single or three phase
Western Power's example is that a 7 kW single-phase charger can go on a single-phase or a three-phase site. A three-phase site still has to meet the balanced-load requirements.
Step 2: Within your connection's limits
A standard connection allows 63 A on single phase, or 32 A per phase on three phase where available. The charger mustn't push the home's total load past those limits.
Step 3: If it doesn't fit
If the added load exceeds your connection's capacity, the options are to apply to Western Power for an upgraded connection, or to use load control, such as a smart charger that limits what the home draws from the grid.
Step 4: Main switch
Western Power requires the main switch to be a circuit breaker for EV charging connections. Ask whether the quote includes any switchboard work.
Charging from solar
Synergy's DEBS buyback pays 2 cents per kWh for solar exported outside 3 pm to 9 pm, so using midday solar to charge the car is usually worth more than exporting it. A charger that follows your solar output makes that automatic.
What EV charger installation costs in Perth
These are the national ranges the NRMA published in July 2026, as a guide only. Your cable run and switchboard decide the final price, so compare itemised quotes.
Portable cable from a power point
Around $400 to $600 for the cable if your car didn't come with one, and $200 to $1,000 if you need a new dedicated outlet installed.
Single-phase wall charger
$600 to $2,500 for the charger, plus $500 to $1,500 for installation in a typical home.
Learn moreThree-phase wall charger
Around $1,500 to $2,200 for the charger. The bigger cost is the electrical work, especially if your home needs upgrading to three-phase power.
What pushes the price up
A long cable run, switchboard work, or a supply upgrade. See the full cost guide.

Worth asking about in Perth
- Older home? Ask each installer whether your switchboard needs work for a charger, and whether that's in the quote.
- In a unit or townhouse? Parking and wall space are often common property, so you'll need your owners corporation's or strata company's approval first.
- Renting? You'll need your landlord's permission before a charger can be installed.
- Charger going in a carport or detached garage? A long cable run from the switchboard usually adds to the cost, so ask for it to be itemised.
- Ask for the electrician's licence number, and a certificate of compliance when the work is done.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can I charge at home in Perth?
Most homes are single phase, which suits a charger of about 7 kW. Faster 11 or 22 kW chargers need three-phase power, and many cars accept less than 22 kW on AC, so check your car's limit first.
Do I need approval for a home EV charger in Perth?
Your electrician checks the charger fits within your connection's limits. If it doesn't, you'd need an upgraded connection from Western Power or load control.
Can I charge my EV from solar in Perth?
Yes, with a charger that can follow your spare solar, or by scheduling charging for the middle of the day when your solar is producing.
Can I get a charger in a unit or rental in Perth?
Often, yes, with permission first: from the owners corporation or strata company for most units, and from your landlord if you rent.
