Maroubra homes with garages, and newer apartment buildings along Anzac Parade, are where we install most local EV chargers.
EV Charger Installation Maroubra: what we typically find
Maroubra's post-war homes often have garages or carports, making home charging practical. Older switchboards are the usual issue, and an upgrade may be needed first.
Newer apartment buildings around Maroubra Junction sometimes have EV-ready car parks with spare capacity built in. Older ones need a supply assessment.
How the job works in Maroubra
What does a typical installation involve? We check your switchboard and supply, choose a location for the charger, run a dedicated cable from the board, fit the charger and protection, then test and commission it with your car. A standard garage installation is usually done in half a day to a day, unless the switchboard needs upgrading first.
If you're in an apartment, the process starts with your strata committee. We can provide a written scope covering the supply, cable route, metering and load management for the committee to consider.
Many Maroubra homes already have rooftop solar. If yours does, we'll check whether your charger can use solar surplus and confirm that the inverter, switchboard and charger will work together safely.

- Whether you have a garage or carport
- A photo of the switchboard
Before we install
Every installation starts with a check of your switchboard and supply. Many older Eastern Suburbs homes have small switchboards that were never designed for an EV charger. Sometimes a switchboard upgrade is needed first, and if so we will tell you upfront.
- Single-phase home chargers, typically up to 7 kW
- Three-phase chargers where your property has three-phase supply
- A dedicated circuit with the correct protection
- Load management, so the charger doesn't overload your supply
- Notification to the network, where required
About Maroubra
A lot of Maroubra's housing is post-war brick homes and walk-up flats. Many have original or partly upgraded wiring and switchboards without full safety switch protection. We upgrade these boards, rewire circuits that have deteriorated and add the power points these homes always seem to be short of.

EV Chargers in Maroubra: FAQs
Is my apartment car park EV-ready?
Ask your strata manager. Some newer buildings have provision for chargers; older ones need an assessment.
Will my switchboard handle an EV charger?
It depends on your board and your supply. We check this before quoting, and older ceramic fuse boards usually need an upgrade first.
Can I install an EV charger in my apartment building's car park?
Usually, yes, with owners corporation approval. We can prepare the details your strata committee needs.
