Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between 7.4kW and 22kW home chargers?

• 7.4kW chargers operate on single-phase power (most commonly available in homes) and deliver about 40–50km of driving range per hour of charging.

• 22kW chargers require three-phase power (less common in homes) and can deliver around 120–140km of driving range per hour of charging, provided your car supports it.

How fast can I charge my EV?

• With a 7.4kW charger: ~40–50km range per hour of charge.

• With a 22kW charger: ~120–140km range per hour of charge.

• Note: Many EVs are limited to 11kW AC charging due to their onboard charger, regardless of the higher output of the wall unit.

Can I install a 22kW charger at home?

• Only if your property has or can be upgraded to three-phase power. Most NZ homes have single-phase, compatible with 7.4kW chargers.

• Three-phase upgrades can be costly and require an assessment by an electrician.

Are these chargers universal for all EV brands?

• Most modern residential chargers use a Type 2 socket or cable, compatible with the majority of EVs sold in NZ and Australia.

• Always check your vehicle’s charging capabilities (socket type and max AC charge rate) before selecting a charger.

How long does a full charge take?

• Charging time depends on battery capacity, the starting battery level, and the charger’s power. On average:

  • 7.4kW: 4–12 hours for a full charge.

  • 22kW: 1–4 hours for a full charge (vehicle permitting).

What installation work is needed?

• Chargers must be installed by a licensed electrician. The installer will assess your switchboard/capacity and may recommend upgrades.

• Safety features like circuit breakers, Residual Current Devices (RCDs), and proper cabling must be installed.

Are home EV chargers safe?

• Modern home chargers include overcurrent protection, ground fault detection, and temperature monitoring for safety.

• Compliance with local electrical standards is mandatory.

Are government incentives or rebates available?

• Check with your local council or government for the latest schemes or grants to support charger installation.

Do I need any special apps or features?

• Many “smart” chargers offer Wi-Fi/Bluetooth for remote monitoring, scheduling, and integration with your home energy system, but basic models work without smart features.

Can renters install EV chargers?

• Typically requires landlord approval; installation should be performed by a qualified electrician. Portable chargers that plug into regular outlets may be alternatives but are slower.

Will my electricity bill increase?

• Yes, electricity usage will increase proportionately to your driving and charging habits. Some retailers offer EV-friendly tariffs or recommend charging at off-peak rates for lower costs.
