EV charger installer you can trust

Registered electricians, a dedicated circuit, neat workmanship and a Certificate of Compliance on every job.

What a standard installation involves

Home installs start at [R X,XXX incl. VAT]. See our home charging packages for exactly what that covers.

On the day, we isolate the supply briefly, fit a new breaker and earth-leakage protection at the DB board and run the cable to your parking spot. We mount the charger, connect it and test the whole circuit: insulation resistance, earth continuity, and the correct operation of every protective device. Once everything passes, a registered person issues the Certificate of Compliance and we hand over.

Common South African considerations

Many homes have a single-phase supply and an older DB board with few free ways. If the board is full or worn out, we quote a board upgrade separately so you can decide. Cable runs across driveways or gardens may need trenching or armoured cable. In sectional title schemes, the trustees must approve work on common property before we start, and we give them the drawings and information they need. If load shedding or the price of electricity is on your mind, ask about pairing the charger with home EV chargers that support solar charging.

Larger and shared installations

Complexes, office parks and depots get a dedicated sub-board, cable sized for future bays and, where needed, load management and sub-metering. Read more about charging in apartments and complexes and workplace charging. After installation, we move straight to setup and commissioning.

  5. 5

    Commissioning & handover

    We configure the charger, test it with you, hand over the CoC and show you how to use it.

Work you would be happy to show off

Straight cable runs, sealed entries, a labelled DB board and a charger mounted at a sensible height. We photograph every finished install and keep a record of the circuit for future maintenance.

A CoC on every installation

Adding a circuit for a charger is an alteration to your electrical installation, and the law requires a Certificate of Compliance for the new work. A registered person on our team tests the installation and issues it before handover.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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

How long does a home installation take?

A standard home install usually takes [half a day]. Long cable runs, trenching or a DB board upgrade can extend that to [a full day or more].

Is the CoC included in the price?

Yes. Every installation quote includes testing and a Certificate of Compliance for the new circuit.

Who does the work?

Our own electricians, supervised by a registered person who signs off the work. [Registered electrical contractor no. TBC].

Will I need to switch off my power?

Only briefly, while we connect the new circuit at the DB board. We tell you when, so you can plan around it.

Can you install a charger I bought elsewhere?

Usually, yes, if it is a reputable unit suited to your supply. We check the model during the site assessment. Warranty on the hardware stays with the seller.

Do you install in complexes and on commercial sites?

Yes. Shared and commercial installations follow the same standards, with extra steps for load management, metering and approvals.
