At home
Send the vehicle model, where you park and a photo of the closed switchboard. Tell us when you get home, when you leave and whether surplus solar is a priority.
Plan home chargingEV charging / Dunedin & Otago
EV charging for homes and workplaces.
At home it might be beside the garage switchboard. At work it might be across a yard with more vehicles to come. We look at the car, the available supply and the cable route before choosing the charger.
Discuss an EV charger Interested in two-way charging?
Planning several bays or a depot?
Start with departure times, existing supply, civil works and the next stage of the site.
Two Leading installations
Garage wall or staff car park?
At the workplace, we fitted a Zappi on the exterior wall beside the parking space. In the new garage, the Tesla Wall Connector sits next to the switchboard. Cable distance, weather exposure and how the lead reaches the car all affect the scope.
EV charging / Planning the installation
How will the vehicles use the site?
We price the cable route, available supply and controls along with the charger. In a shared building, who pays for the power can be just as important as where the charger goes.
Apartments and shared parking
Who owns the spaces, who approves the common work and how will electricity be billed? We can separate the shared switchboard, cabling and load-management work from the cost of adding each bay.
Discuss a shared car parkWorkplace and fleet
Start with departure times, kilometres to replenish, existing site demand and how many vehicles park together. We can compare sharing available capacity with a supply upgrade, and price later bays separately.
Scope fleet chargingCharger options
For a car parked at home during sunny hours, a myenergi zappi can use surplus solar when correctly metered. A Tesla Wall Connector is an option for straightforward overnight charging. With Evnex, we check which model and power sensor suit your supply and solar priorities. For shared bays we also confirm access, reporting, software fees and who supports the system.
Compare with battery storageTwo-way charging / New Zealand
Can your car power more than the drive?
Two-way charging is operating in New Zealand, including trials in the Queenstown area. The car, charger and approvals have to match.
Check my vehicle and sitePower an appliance (V2L)
A supported vehicle can supply a suitable plug-in appliance through its approved outlet or adaptor. This feature alone does not connect a home or enable grid export.
Supply the home (V2H)
A compatible two-way system can use vehicle energy for household loads. If you want backup during an outage, the system must specifically support that operating mode and the chosen circuits.
Export to the network (V2G)
We check the exact vehicle, NZ distributor approval and firmware, two-way charger, site connection, export terms and retailer metering. We also ask how much charge you need left for the next drive. A standard zappi or Tesla Wall Connector is not the bidirectional charger for this job.
Before you buy equipment
EECA lists StarCharge Halo and SigenStor EV DC in its NZ market assessment. The SigenStor module requires a compatible Sigenergy home system. We confirm vehicle support and local approvals for your particular site before quoting an export solution.
EECA’s two-way charging trials (opens in a new tab)Questions, answered
Before you order a charger
Can I supply my own charger?
Send the brand and model before you buy. We’ll check its suitability, installation requirements and what your quote would cover.
Will the switchboard need an upgrade?
Sometimes. A photo of the closed board, its location and the parking spot helps us start. We check the available supply and protection on site before confirming the price.
Can we start with one charger and allow for more?
Yes. For a shared car park, identify the likely future spaces and busiest charging times early. That helps us compare doing the cable routes now with extending them later.
Do I need panels first?
No. An EV charger can use mains electricity. If you also want to use surplus solar, we check how the charger and solar system communicate.

Show us the parking spot.
Send the vehicle or charger model, your suburb and photos of the parking area and closed switchboard. For a workplace, include the number of spaces.
