EV charging, engineered to scale
From a single 7 kW home wallbox to multi-bay fleet depots — load-managed, OCPP-ready charging with the switchboard and supply works done right.
Australia is accelerating toward widespread electric vehicle adoption faster than the charging infrastructure supporting it. Apex Current Solutions is at the forefront of that infrastructure build, delivering AC and DC EV charging installations across residential, commercial, fleet, and destination-charging environments. As licensed master electricians with deep experience in three-phase supply, switchboard augmentation, and load management, we are uniquely positioned to assess, design, and commission EV charging solutions that are safe, standards-compliant, and built to grow with your fleet.
Every EV charger installation we undertake is governed by AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules, AS/NZS 3001 where applicable for transportable installations, and the AS/NZS 62196 series for EV plugs and sockets. Our design process begins with a genuine site energy audit — we review your existing switchboard capacity, incoming supply tariff, demand profile, and prospective load — before recommending charger type, output level, and any network equipment required. You will not receive a cookie-cutter proposal from us.
Home Wallbox & Residential EV Charging
A quality home wallbox transforms overnight charging from a slow trickle on a 10A GPO into a genuine replenishment session that has your vehicle road-ready by morning. We install AC wallboxes from 7.2kW single-phase up to 22kW three-phase, sourced from manufacturers whose products meet IEC 61851 and carry the required SAA certification for the Australian market. Switchboard work — including a dedicated circuit, RCD protection to AS/NZS 3000 Clause 2.6, and a metering sub-circuit if your energy retailer offers EV-specific tariffs — is completed by our licensed electricians. Every residential EV charger installation concludes with a Certificate of Electrical Compliance issued to the home owner.
Commercial, Fleet & Destination Charging Infrastructure
Commercial EV charging demands a fundamentally different approach to design. Car parks, fleet depots, hospitality venues, and retail centres each impose unique constraints on available kVA, load diversity, and future charger rollout staging. We deliver Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) 1.6 and 2.0 compliant network infrastructure, enabling remote management, energy reporting, and billing integration regardless of charger manufacturer. Dynamic load management systems are sized and programmed to cap total EV demand at a contractually compliant level, protecting your site from maximum demand penalties and supply authority capacity charges.
- Single-phase 7.2kW and three-phase 22kW AC wallboxes for residential and light commercial applications
- DC fast chargers from 25kW to 150kW-plus for fleet depots, service stations, and destination sites
- OCPP 1.6 and 2.0 network configuration for remote monitoring, billing, and access management
- Dynamic load management to prevent demand penalties and maximise charger throughput
- Switchboard upgrades, three-phase supply augmentation, and sub-metering as required
Switchboard Works, Three-Phase Supply & Future-Proofing
The switchboard is the critical constraint in most EV charging projects, and it is where inexperienced contractors cut corners. Apex Current Solutions sizes switchboards and main cables to accommodate not just your current charger count but a credible ten-year fleet expansion. Where existing supply authority infrastructure cannot support your EV load without significant network augmentation, we manage the distributor application process on your behalf, co-ordinate metering changes, and sequence works so your existing operations are uninterrupted. Every switchboard we touch is brought into compliance with the current edition of AS/NZS 3000, and all protective devices are labelled, scheduled, and documented in the handover package.
Whether you are installing a single home wallbox before your new EV arrives or planning a 50-bay fleet depot with managed charging, Apex Current Solutions has the licensed expertise, design rigour, and project management capability to deliver it right.

EV Charger Installation — your questions answered
Under Australian law, all EV charger installations — including the dedicated circuit, switchboard work, and charger connection — must be performed by a licensed electrical contractor. DIY electrical work is illegal, voids equipment warranties, and will invalidate your home and contents insurance. Apex Current Solutions provides full installation, testing, and a Certificate of Electrical Compliance with every job.
AC wallboxes convert grid power inside the vehicle using its onboard charger, typically delivering 7 to 22kW. DC fast chargers convert AC to DC externally and supply direct current to the battery, bypassing the onboard charger for rates of 25kW to 150kW-plus. For home and overnight commercial use, an AC wallbox is cost-effective and sufficient. Fleet depots and high-throughput destination sites generally benefit from DC fast charging. We will recommend the right solution after reviewing your dwell times, fleet mix, and available supply capacity.
It depends on your current switchboard rating, existing load, and the charger output you want to install. A 7.2kW single-phase wallbox may suit a standard residential board with a spare circuit, while a 22kW three-phase charger may require a board upgrade or a supply augmentation application to your local distributor. Our site assessment identifies exactly what is needed before we quote, so there are no surprises on installation day.
Yes. We design multi-charger commercial installations with OCPP-networked equipment that supports RFID card or app-based access control, per-session energy metering, and cost recovery billing for tenants or customers. Load management software ensures the aggregate demand of all active chargers stays within your agreed supply capacity, preventing demand penalties while maximising throughput.
