A home EV charger install has two cost halves: the charger itself and the electrical work. Here's what Sydney owners actually pay in 2026.
| Charger | Typical price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Basic 7kW EVSE | $700–$900 | Budget overnight charging |
| Smart 7kW (app scheduling) | $900–$1,200 | Off-peak tariff optimisation |
| Tesla Wall Connector | ~$1,050 | Tesla owners (works with others too) |
| Solar-diverting (Zappi etc.) | $1,300–$1,600 | Homes with rooftop solar |
Straightforward garage installs with a nearby modern switchboard typically run $800–$1,200. Long cable runs (~$20–25/m), outdoor weatherproof mounting, three-phase circuits and switchboard upgrades ($600–$2,000) push totals higher. A realistic all-in range for most Sydney homes: $1,600–$3,000 installed.
