EV Charger Installation - What You Need to Know Before You Plug In

More Gold Coast homeowners are going electric — and a standard power point isn't built for it. Charging an EV from a regular wall outlet is slow and puts continuous load on a circuit it was never designed for. A dedicated home charger connects straight to your switchboard on its own circuit, cutting charge times and keeping your home's wiring safe. In Queensland, this is licensed electrical work. Any connection to your home's fixed wiring — including running a new circuit for an EV charger — must be carried out by a licensed electrician, with an electrical safety certificate issued on completion. Skipping this voids your home insurance and leaves you with no cover if something goes wrong. ADAMSON installs EV chargers for homes and businesses across the Gold Coast, including switchboard assessments and upgrades where needed. We'll check your existing setup, recommend the right charger, and handle the full install and certification.
