Professional & Licensed EV Charger Installation by Licensed Electricians
Looking to install an electric vehicle (EV) charger at your home or business? At RLC Electrical, we provide safe, compliant and future-ready EV charger installation across Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich and surrounding areas.
Whether you’ve just purchased your first electric vehicle or you’re upgrading to a faster charging solution, our licensed electricians can install the right EV charging system tailored to your property.
Why Install a Home EV Charger?
If you’ve recently purchased an electric vehicle, installing a dedicated EV charger at home or your workplace is the smartest move you can make.
At RLC Electrical, we specialise in EV charger installation across Brisbane and Logan, delivering safe, compliant and high-performance charging solutions tailored to your property.
With EV ownership rapidly growing across Queensland, more homeowners are moving away from slow standard outlets and upgrading to faster, purpose-built charging systems.
Why You Need a Dedicated EV Charger
While it’s possible to charge your EV using a standard power point, it’s not ideal long term.
A professionally installed EV charger gives you:
- Faster charging times (hours instead of overnight+)
- Improved electrical safety
- Reduced strain on your circuits
- Lower long-term running costs
- Convenient at-home charging
For most Brisbane homes, a Level 2 charger is the best balance of speed, cost and performance.
Professional EV Charger Installation by Licensed Electricians
Most people don’t realise that installing an EV charger isn’t as simple as plugging it in.
EV chargers must be installed by a licensed electrician to ensure:

At RLC Electrical, we handle the entire process — from assessment through to installation and testing — so you can charge your vehicle safely and reliably.
What’s Actually Involved in Installing an EV Charger?
Installing an EV charger is more than just mounting a unit on the wall.
A proper installation includes:
- Assessing your home’s electrical capacity
- Checking your switchboard and circuits
- Running dedicated cabling to the charger location
- Installing safety protection (RCBOs, circuit breakers)
- Configuring the charger correctly
- Testing the system for safe operation
This is why working with an experienced electrician is critical.
Why You Need Professional Installation
Without proper installation, you risk:
- Overloading circuits
- Damaging your switchboard
- Electrical faults or failures
- Non-compliant work (big issue if selling your home)
A properly installed EV charger ensures your system is:
- Safe
- Compliant
- Reliable
- Ready for future upgrades
FAQs About EV Chargers
Do I need a licensed electrician to install an EV charger?
Yes — in Australia, EV chargers are considered fixed electrical equipment and must be installed by a licensed electrician. This ensures the installation is safe, compliant and meets Australian standards.
Can I charge my EV using a standard power point?
Yes, but only as a temporary solution. Charging from a standard outlet is very slow and not designed for long-term use. Most homeowners upgrade to a dedicated EV charger for faster, safer and more reliable charging.
Can I use solar power to charge my EV?
Yes — EV chargers can be integrated with solar systems. This allows you to charge your vehicle using renewable energy and reduce electricity costs.
Do EV chargers need their own circuit?
Yes — EV chargers should be installed on a dedicated circuit to ensure safe operation and prevent overloading your existing electrical system.
