Tesla EV Car Charger Installation
Depending on the configuration of your garage and how easy it is to access your electrical system, this process will take a day or two. And once we install the wiring, inserting the actual charger would not take more than an hour or so. Once it is set up, we will test and inspect it to make sure you’re getting the desired charging speeds. By installing a dedicated Tesla charging station, you’ll enjoy three times faster charging speeds compared to a traditional wall outlet. And in most cases, you will reach full battery capacity overnight, making your vehicle ready for the drive in the morning.
Hyundai EV Car Charger Installation
The entire procedure for installing a Hyundai EV charger is similar to installing a Tesla. Site inspection is carried out to know if there is sufficient space and required electrical infrastructure to house the charger. Once the space and required electrical infrastructure are set up, we will install the charging station and test that everything works appropriately. A charging station is perfect for your Hyundai EV, and you can reach a full charge in around three to nine hours (Depending on the single or three-phase charger).
Nissan EV Car Charger Installation
Installing a Nissan EV charger is similar to the other two vehicles already discussed. Initial site inspection is performed to ensure there is sufficient space and essential electrical infrastructure to install the EV charging station. Any modifications or upgrades required to the site are performed before the EV charger installation. Once everything is set up, we install your new Nissan EV charging station and make sure it operates optimally. All it takes is around six to eight hours to charge your Nissan Leaf to full capability, making it easier for your vehicle to get ready for the drive each morning. A distinctive feature of Nissan EVs is their capability to provide power back to your home when required, which can be convenient in case of a temporary power failure.

Considerations Before Installing EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment)
Choose a certified electrician to install your Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment. Cable length will decide how flexible your parking options will be. The cable can get heavier – typically, 3kg for 5m cable and 6kg for 10m cable.
E-Mobility Charging Stations Should Be Linked Using Its Cable
No extra appliances should be linked to the cable leading from the fuse box to the charging station. The use factor will be consistently estimated to 1 because it takes a long time to fully load the batteries of an electric vehicle. The dedicated circuit feeding the charging station or wall box will be required following the AS3000 standards. The connected load of the charging station ought to be 100% honoured.
Use the Appropriate Cable for EV Charging Load
Using the appropriate cable is paramount because if too thin cables are used, then they can become hot and there is a risk of the cables burning. If the charging current is 16A or higher, we recommend a cable with a minimum cross-section area of 2.5 mm2 or above, facilitating the vehicle to be charged with a charging power of 11-22 kW. For a 3-phase charger, a 5-conductor supply cable should be used. The inner diameter of the cable relies on factors, including cable length, installation type, potential drop and environmental temperature. Thus, it is highly desirable to get a certified electrician to ascertain what diameter cable you need. We advise preparing cables for a three-phase connection where possible so that you can use them in the future as well. Futuristic electric cars will have faster-charging speeds and bigger battery capacities.

The RCD (Residual Current Device) for Safety in EVs
The RCD (Residual Current Device) is in place to avert electric shocks. An RCD harmonises the electric current in the neutral and live wires, to and from the appliance, in the electric car. If these currents are no longer poised – For instance, if a residual current travels through the bodywork of the car or the driver to the floor, the RCD is activated and disrupts the circuit. Each charging station ought to be integrated with its RCD. A diversity factor of 1.0 for safety exists, which means that each circuit must be separately shielded.
Types of RCD (Residual Current Devices)
- The ‘Type A’ RCD is a standard RCD protection switch certified electricians carry, which only registers specific fault currents.
- Different chargers in the EVSE range come with an integrated RCD ‘Type A’ or ‘Type B’.
- ‘Type B’ RCD is sensitive to all currents, identifies all types of AC & DC residual currents, and is perfect for charging station installation. It is a recommended RCD device.

Installing the Perfect Circuit Breaker For Your Charger
Makers of EV charging stations recommend circuit breakers with the tripping characteristic ‘C’. The circuit breaker ought to be in alignment with the nominal current, in the case of the necessary charging power. It can unfold a likely safety danger, so ensure that the installation is only performed by a certified and experienced electrician. Licensed electricians and technicians are accountable for making sure that all existing standards and installation regulations are followed. The nominal current is the current imbibed by electrical devices. The nominal current of the circuit breaker that you have selected should never slip below the reading appearing on the charging station’s label.

“A large family in a large house needs a large air-con. Izco Electrical upgraded my power supply so we could run our new ducted air-conditioning keeping the sweat, and complaints about the heat, to a minimum.”
5 Star Service
“After our children moved out, we wanted to subsidise our income by converting their rumpus room into a granny flat to rent out. Izco took the nightmare of working out how much to charge for electricity out of our hands by installing a separate meter for the granny flat. Now our tenants receive their own bill and we don’t have to worry about someone else running up our bills.”

“We moved into our new home because it had a large shed at the bottom of the garden, perfect for me to work on cars. But I couldn’t run my arc welder without upgrading to three-phase power. The team at Izco explained exactly what I would need to do, provided me with a free quote and competed the job when they said they would. Even installed some new power points in the shed for me while they were here. I would highly recommend Izco Electrical to anyone needing any kind of work done.”
