Switchboard Sized for Continuous EV Charging
Most household appliances draw power in short bursts. A 7kW EV charger runs for hours at a sustained rate overnight. That difference matters when sizing the switchboard and the dedicated circuit, and getting it wrong creates problems down the track.
We start with a full load assessment, then specify the switchboard upgrade and EV charger circuit correctly for Bendigo homes. The fixed price is confirmed after the assessment, before any work begins.
All work is completed by our licensed, Clean Energy Council accredited electricians and backed by a compliance certificate and workmanship warranty.
We upgrade switchboards and electrical panels across Bendigo and surrounding suburbs. See all the areas we cover.
Upfront Pricing, Clear Scope
Switchboard upgrades can vary significantly in scope and price depending on the installer. Knowing exactly what is included before any work starts makes it easier to compare quotes and avoid unexpected costs.
Every upgrade we carry out follows the same clear process, with a fixed price confirmed once the assessment is complete. You know what the job involves, what it costs, and what you will have at the end of it before we start.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a switchboard upgrade for EV charging cost in Bendigo?
Cost varies depending on the scope of the upgrade required. A minor circuit addition costs less than a full panel replacement. Key variables include the age of the board, whether it is a fuse-based or circuit-breaker board, switchboard capacity, and whether a new EV-dedicated circuit can be added without a full replacement. Call us today for a switchboard assessment and an accurate quote.
How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading for an EV charger?
The clearest sign is an existing fuse box rather than a circuit-breaker board, which will almost always require replacement before a dedicated EV charger circuit can be safely added. Beyond that, a board with no spare circuit capacity or one that is already tripping under normal load is a strong indicator. The assessment is the definitive answer. We check the board against the load the charger will add before confirming what, if anything, needs upgrading.
How long does a switchboard upgrade for EV charging take?
For most residential switchboard upgrades, the work is completed in a single day. Simpler jobs (adding a circuit to an already capable board) take a few hours. A full panel replacement may take most of a day. We will confirm the expected duration at the time of quoting so you can plan accordingly.
Can the switchboard upgrade and EV charger install happen at the same time?
Yes. If both are part of the job scope, we can often complete the switchboard upgrade and charger installation in a single day or over two visits, depending on the complexity of your home’s electrical setup. The switchboard work is done first to ensure the new charger circuit has the capacity it needs. We will confirm the schedule and any disruptions when we provide your quote.
What does the compliance certificate cover for a switchboard upgrade?
The compliance certificate covers the full scope of the upgrade completed: the switchboard work, any new protection devices, and the dedicated EV charger circuit. It is issued on the day the job is signed off and forms part of the electrical record for your property.
