EV charger installation South Africa

EV chargers supplied, installed and commissioned across South Africa

Home wallboxes, complex and workplace charging, fleet depots. One team assesses your site, supplies the hardware, installs it safely and hands over a Certificate of Compliance.

One accountable team, from site visit to first charge

Getting an EV charger right in South Africa means more than mounting a box on a wall. Your supply may be single-phase, your DB board may be full, and if you live in a sectional title scheme the trustees need to agree first. StrataCharge handles the whole job: we check your supply and load, recommend a charger that suits your car and your property, install it with a registered electrician, set up the app and load management, and issue the CoC. You deal with one team and get one written quote.

  • Charger supply and installation

FAQ

Common EV charging questions

Still unsure? Speak with StrataCharge by phone, WhatsApp or email.

Do I need a Certificate of Compliance for an EV charger?

Yes. An EV charger needs a new dedicated circuit, which is an addition to your electrical installation. A registered person must test that work and issue a CoC. Every StrataCharge installation includes the CoC.

Can I install a charger on a single-phase supply?

Yes. Most South African homes are on single-phase, which suits a charger of about 7 kW. That is enough to fill most EVs overnight. We check your supply and main breaker before recommending a charger.

I live in a sectional title complex. Can I still get a charger?

Usually, yes, but the trustees must give consent first and the scheme may need a resolution. We prepare an approval pack with the load assessment, layout and metering plan to help your trustees decide.

How much does a home EV charger installation cost?

It depends on the charger, the distance from your DB board and any upgrades needed. Our standard home installs start from [From R X,XXX incl. VAT]. You get a fixed written quote after we have seen your site or photos.

Will my charger work during load shedding?

Not on grid power alone. If you have, or plan to add, a suitably sized inverter and battery, charging can continue at a reduced rate. We will tell you honestly what your system can support.
