As an expert in the charging pile industry, EVDANCE has rich experience in the development and manufacturing of intelligent EV charging solutions. This is where we turn our engineering insights into knowledge and share them with the global EV community.
Older boards with ceramic fuses often need work before a charger goes in. What a switchboard upgrade involves in Australia and NZ, and the questions to ask your electrician.
Rooftop solar peaks at midday while cars sit at home. How Australian solar homes shift EV charging into the day, match the rate to their system, and still use off-peak nights.
A three-pole main switch is the quick switchboard clue. Find out what three-phase supply means for charger choice in Australian and New Zealand homes, and which charger fits.
No. A window frame pinches the cable like a door seal, lets weather in and leaves the house insecure. The real fix for a missing outdoor outlet is a proper outdoor outlet, fitted by an electrician.
Keep them out from the outside: dock the connector, clear shelter and food sources near the unit, and inspect vents weekly in season. Never open the charger or spray inside it.
Mount the holster beside the charger, on the car side, high enough that the docked connector and its cable loop clear splash water, puddles and piled snow — connector angled down or capped.
Yes. A carport roof keeps direct rain off the charger, but open sides let weather, dust and people in — so gear rating, placement and cable storage matter more than in a garage.
Date, kWh added, price paid and a note on why you charged — most of it is already in your charger app and your utility bill. A simple monthly routine keeps it usable.
Match the model and serial number to the notice, follow its stop-use instruction, and contact the manufacturer. Do not open, repair or keep using a charger under a stop-use recall.
Keep one folder: permit and inspection record, electrician’s invoice, charger receipt and serial number, and photos. How long depends on what each document protects.
