LIGHT YEARS AHEAD · EV HOME CHARGING
Home EV Charging,
Done Properly.
Brighton to Portsea’s EV charger specialists.
From a single 7kW wall charger to a fully integrated solar and battery setup, Protec installs and certifies EV chargers for homes across the Peninsula. Licensed. Local. 5-star rated.
THREE STARTING POINTS
Every new EV owner starts from a different switchboard.
Tell us honestly where you’re at — there’s a right-sized charger install for each.
No solar, no battery — just a new EV.
Most people in this spot just want a safe, compliant charger installed. We quote that plainly, size it to your switchboard, and get you charging at home within days.
- Switchboard capacity check — common on older Peninsula homes
- 7kW or 22kW charger install, tethered or socketed
- Compliance certificate issued on completion
Your panels can already carry part of the load.
We size the charger to what your solar can already supply, and set it to prioritise your own generation over the grid where your system allows.
- Charger sized and installed against your existing solar
- Solar-aware scheduling so daytime charging uses your export first
- Battery cost/benefit run for your specific charging habits, if you’re curious
You’re set up to charge for almost nothing.
We install the charger and integrate it with your existing system so the car draws from excess solar first, the battery second, and the grid only as a last resort.
- Smart charger install with solar/battery load-balancing
- App scheduling so charging follows your export, not the clock
- Off-peak tariff set up for any grid top-up
HOW IT WORKS
Four visits, one plug you’ll actually use.
Tell us your setup
A short call to find out which of the three paths you’re on and what car and charger you’re considering.
Site check
We check your switchboard, meter, and the cable run to your parking spot — older coastal homes often need a switchboard upgrade factored in, so we cost it up front, not on the day.
Install day
Compliant install by an accredited electrician, with a Certificate of Electrical Safety issued on completion.
Handover & tuning
We pair the app and set your charge schedule to your tariff or solar export, so it charges at the cheapest, cleanest time automatically.
CHARGER OPTIONS
Two ways to charge at home — we’ll size the right one.
Single-phase, 7.2kW
~40km range / hrThe standard home upgrade — roughly 4x a regular power point. Suits almost every property on standard single-phase supply and covers a full overnight top-up for most daily driving.
Three-phase, up to 22kW
~100km+ range / hrFor properties already on three-phase power. Charges far faster, useful for larger batteries or households charging more than one EV.
WHERE WE WORK
On the Peninsula, from the bay to the tip of Point Nepean.
