Oak Flats is a settled Illawarra suburb on the edge of Lake Illawarra — project-built brick-veneer homes on standard blocks, a mix of original owners and young families, and easy access to Shellharbour and the highway. The Oak Flats job is usually the simple, high-volume case: single-phase supply, a carport or single garage close to the meter box, and a straightforward run.
EV Charger Installation in Oak Flats
A standard 7kW single-phase EV charger install in Oak Flats runs $1,300–$2,200 where the charger sits near the board — the most common scenario here. Three-phase 22kW installs run $2,600–$4,400 for the smaller number of homes with three-phase supply. Garage and carport runs are usually short, adding $300–$1,000. Board upgrades on older homes start from $3,200. We quote the exact job on site.

App Setup & Handover
Before you order a charger online or sign with a national fixed-price installer, there are six things every Oak Flats EV owner should check.
- Your home is an older project-built brick veneer: Very common in Oak Flats — we check the switchboard has room before quoting.
- You park in a carport, not an enclosed garage: Standard here — we spec weatherproof-rated hardware for the exposed location.
- You're near the lake: Humidity and moisture around Lake Illawarra warrant proper IP-rated enclosures.
- You're on single-phase supply: Most of Oak Flats is — we size a 7kW install correctly rather than promise speeds you can't get.
- You've got two cars going electric: Increasingly common — we plan load-sharing between two chargers rather than doubling up blind.
- You need it done properly: A CCEW and Level 2 install matters for resale and insurance in a suburb with strong owner-occupier turnover.


Real overnight charging
A proper 7kW dedicated charger adds ~280 km of range overnight — versus ~50 km from a regular 10A wall socket. Big difference for daily commuters.
Switchboard upgraded properly
Where it's needed, we upgrade the board to AS/NZS 3000 — common in Oak Flats' original project-built homes, many still running the switchboard that was fitted at construction.
Tesla app integration
Tesla Wall Connector pairs with your car, your home Wi-Fi and the Tesla app — scheduled charging, off-peak rates, household load monitoring.
Solar-friendly
Oak Flats' unshaded, north-facing rooflines suit solar well — Zappi, Wallbox Pulsar Plus and Schneider EVlink Pro can prioritise solar export so the car charges from your own generation.
Future-proof for the next car
We size cable and sub-circuit for the bigger charger so when you upgrade to a 22kW dual-phase, the cable doesn't need to be ripped out and redone.
Insurance-grade compliance
CCEW + Level 2 install means your home insurer doesn't have grounds to refuse a claim if there's ever an electrical incident around the charger.
