Home EV Chargers Melbourne
Choose the right EV charger for your home, vehicle and electrical setup. Aether Installations supplies and installs selected home EV chargers for Melbourne houses, townhouses, garages, driveways and carports.
The right charger depends on your EV model, parking location, switchboard capacity, cable route, phase supply and whether you want standard overnight charging, smart charging or solar-aware charging.
Best home EV charger options
Most Melbourne homes are suited to a dedicated wall-mounted EV charger installed in a garage, driveway, carport or external parking area. The charger should be selected based on how the vehicle is used, where the car is parked, how far the charger is from the switchboard and whether solar or smart charging matters.

Prefer to browse charger hardware first?
Aether’s EV Charger Shop includes selected chargers available for supply-only purchase, including Ocular IQ Home Solar and Tesla Wall Connector. If you are unsure which charger suits your property, request a recommendation before buying.
What affects charger choice at home?
A home EV charger should be matched to the vehicle and the property. The same charger will not suit every home, and the cheapest option online may not be the best option once installation is considered.
Switchboard capacity
The switchboard needs to support the charger load safely. Older or crowded switchboards may need additional review.
Indoor or outdoor mounting
Garages, driveways, carports and external walls all require different planning.
Single-phase vs three-phase
Many homes use 7kW single-phase charging. Three-phase may be useful where the vehicle and property support higher AC charging speeds.
Solar or battery setup
Solar-aware charging may require specific charger features, CT clamps or load monitoring.
Cable route
The distance from the switchboard to the charger location affects labour, materials and installation complexity.
Vehicle onboard charger
Your vehicle limits the actual AC charging speed, even if the wall charger can deliver more.

Should you buy the charger only or choose supply + install?
Aether can supply selected home EV chargers, but most customers are better served by a supply + install quote.
That way, the charger is matched to the property before purchase and the installation requirements are understood upfront.
Supply + install is recommended when:
you are unsure which charger to choose
you want a complete solution
you have solar or battery storage
the cable route is unclear
the switchboard may need review
you want the charger and installation handled together
Supply-only may suit you if:
you already have a licensed electrician
you know the exact charger required
the site has already been assessed
you understand the installation requirements
