How it works

We help you decide on the right EV charger and take away the headache of getting it installed. Our unique three step process is as follows:

1. Answer: After you fill out a quote request form, you’ll be sent a text message to complete your request on your smartphone. This will include taking and sending photos of your switchboard, desired charger location and more. All of these questions have been carefully curated to ensure we provide you with a fixed-quote.

2. Choose: Our quotes include a recommended EV charger based on our assessment of your home as well as two alternative EV chargers for you to choose from. All options include the delivery, installation and activation of the EV charger quoted at a fixed price — making it easy for you to choose. We also have an installation only service for homeowners looking to have an existing EV charger installed and activated by a technician.

3. Install: We’ll then send you an invoice for payment. If you ordered your EV charger with revcharge, you will receive it before this date. If you have an existing charger you want installed, just let your technician know when booking your installation. Once the EV charger is in place, the installer can also help you connect any apps for the charger and show you how to use it.

We’ll also keep you well-informed throughout the entire process by email and text message, to make it as easy and seamless as possible.

Our electric vehicle charging stations including full installation and activation start from $1550, while some of the more expensive chargers and/or complex instals will be priced accordingly. The cost of the charger that is right for you will vary depending on your individual circumstances. Why not fill out the form here to find out which charging system is right for you? You can also check out the individual cost of our chargers on our shop page here.

We certainly do. All of our technicians are trained in how to not just install the physical charger but also activate any apps or interface. They’ll show you how to get started right after they finish installing your charger.

Tethered home chargers have the charging cable permanently attached to the wall unit. The main benefit of tethered chargers is that they reduce the time it takes to locate and set-up the cable each time you want to charge your EV. 

Untethered home charges come with the charging cable separate from the wall unit. The main benefit of untethered chargers is that you are able to neatly store the cable out of sight once you are finished charging your EV. You also have the added flexibility of being able to take the cable with you on trips in case you need to top up at public charging stations.

We stock a range of different EV charging systems from the following brands:

• Zappi

• Wallbox

• Ohme

• Tesla

Which brand and model is right for you depends on a range of individual circumstances. Why not fill out the form here to find out which charging system is right for you?

Definitely! revcharge is proud to provide installation only for those who have their own charger already (BYO). Simply fill out a form here, and we’ll quote you for installation only. Learn more about prices for just installation here.

You’ll need to find an A-Grade licensed electrician with public liability insurance who holds a valid Registered Electrical Contractor’s Licence (REC). They will also need to have completed training specific to the brand and model of EV charger you are looking to have installed.

Sounds complicated? Why not engage revcharge here to find a technician to do it for you?

Yes. All level 2 and above EV chargers are able to be installed indoors or outdoors. They are both weatherproof and waterproof. 

No. The charging unit itself is near impossible to steal as they are bolted to a wall. However, an untethered unit is recommended if you are looking to install the unit outside. This allows you to remove the cable and store it away safely under lock and key.

We do. You can find all charging cables in our online store here. If you need help buying one, feel free to contact us to decide which option is best for you. We recommend purchasing a cable if you purchased an untethered charging unit from us. This ensures you can use your untethered unit immediately once it’s installed.

There are three different levels of chargers:

Level 1: Most new EVs come with a factory-issued level 1 EV charger that can be used with the preexisting residential wiring. Level 1 EV chargers come in different shapes and sizes, but their power rate is limited between 1.8kW and 2.4kW. Since the delivered current for a level 1 EV charger is so limited, it is also called trickle charging. 

Level 2: The fastest AC EV chargers that residential users can get at home are known as level 2 EV chargers. These are the chargers revcharge recommends to home users. Residential level 2 single-phase EV charging stations operating at 230V, feature a rated power that varies between 3.6kW up to 9.6kW.

Level 3: These are known as your DC chargers (ones you usually see in public). These are sometimes known as ultrafast charging. Almost all residential properties wouldn’t have the electrical capacity or authorisation to be able to install DC chargers, and in many instances DC chargers start from $50k each!

The biggest and most obvious benefit is speed to charge. With a regular power point charger (also known as a level 1 charger), the speed to charge your car’s battery can be quite slow. 

Another benefit is that level 1 chargers are ‘dumb’ in the sense that they don’t do anything apart from charge. With a proper EV charger, you can tap into ‘smart charging’. This allows you to access the charger remotely from your smartphone, schedule charges, tap into your solar/battery power and more!
