EV charger installation in Rhodes
Rhodes is almost entirely apartments, and that makes EV charging here a fundamentally different exercise from anywhere else in our service area. In most suburbs the question is where to run the cable. In Rhodes, the question is who has to approve it.
The Rhodes peninsula was redeveloped from industrial land into high-density residential over the past two decades, producing a suburb of modern towers with basement car parking, allocated spaces, and building electrical infrastructure that is comparatively new. That newness is an advantage: modern main switchboards, current-standard protection, and in some buildings provision for EV charging already designed in.

Property types in Rhodes
The complication is structural rather than technical. Your parking space is generally your lot or an allocated part of common property, and the electrical supply to the basement belongs to the building. Installing a charger therefore requires the owners corporation’s agreement, a decision about how the electricity is metered and billed, and confirmation that the building’s supply can carry the additional load — not just for your charger, but for the ones that will follow it.
That last point is where Rhodes buildings most often get it wrong. A single charger wired to a convenient circuit is easy. Ten chargers added the same way is a problem the building will have to pay to undo. A load-managed system planned properly at the outset costs little more and saves the building that outcome.
Rhodes is high-density residential, and effectively every installation is a strata installation. The two workable models are a sub-metered individual charger in your allocated space, with consumption billed to you rather than to common property, and a load-managed shared system serving multiple spaces from a designed allocation.
For an individual owner, the sub-metered charger is normally the right answer, and the practical work is as much documentation as electrical: capacity confirmation, a scope the committee can assess, and a metering arrangement that does not leave the building subsidising your driving.
For an owners corporation planning ahead, a load-managed system installed once is substantially cheaper than a series of individual installations retrofitted and then reworked. We can scope both, and we work directly with strata managers and building managers on the compliance requirements.
Licensed & Fully Insured EV Charger Electricians
EV charger installation is regulated electrical work in NSW. It requires a licensed electrical contractor, a dedicated 32A circuit protected by a Type A RCD, and a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work issued on completion. From 1 July 2026 all NSW CCEWs must be lodged digitally through the BCNSW eCert portal, and we are registered to do so.
Installing a charger without a licensed electrician, or on a shared circuit not designed for a sustained 32A load, is illegal and may void both your home insurance and your vehicle warranty.

Tesla Wall Connector
not just for Teslas
Not just for Teslas. The Gen 3 unit charges any EV with a Type 2 connector, does up to 22kW on three-phase, has a 7.3m tethered cable, a four-year warranty, and over-the-air updates. A strong all-rounder.

the solar-first choice
The solar-first pick. Its CT clamp works with any inverter, with three modes: Fast (grid-supported), Eco (solar-prioritised with grid top-up), and Eco+ (surplus solar only). Available in 7kW single-phase or 22kW three-phase. If you have solar, this is usually our first recommendation.

Switchboards in Rhodes
Rhodes buildings are new enough that the individual switchboard is rarely the constraint. Apartment boards are typically modern, with current-standard protection and adequate provision for a properly designed EV circuit.
The real assessment is at building level: the capacity of the main and basement sub-boards, what has already been allocated, and what remains for future charge points. This is the number that decides whether the building can support one charger, ten or forty, and it is where a proper load study earns its cost. We assess the sub-board capacity, document what the building can carry, and design an arrangement that leaves room for the residents who will ask next year — rather than consuming the available capacity on a first-come basis.
Your switchboard is likely ready if it has:
An upgrade is needed if it has:
Charge Your EV From Solar
If your property has solar, a Zappi charger can divert surplus generation to your car instead of exporting it. On a clear Sydney day a 6.6kW system can recover roughly 30-50km of range from surplus solar alone.
We check inverter compatibility, install the CT clamp and commission all three charging modes before we leave.
Apartment & Strata EV Charging in Rhodes
For the strata and townhouse properties in Rhodes, charging cannot simply be cabled from a unit to a car space — the building’s supply has to be assessed and a shared or sub-metered system designed. We handle that end to end with owners corporations and building managers.
