Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Installation in Blenheim & Marlborough
As electric vehicles become common on Marlborough roads, having a reliable charging station at home or work is essential. Wairau Electric installs dedicated EV chargers that are safer and up to 10x faster than a standard wall socket.
Why install a home electric vehicle charger?
Stop relying on a 3-pin wall socket that could take days to charge your vehicle and risk overloading your home wiring. A dedicated home charger is the smarter, safer choice.
Charge up to 10x faster
A standard 3-pin wall socket can take days to fully charge your EV. A dedicated charger gets you back on the road overnight.
Use cheaper off-peak power
Smart chargers let you schedule charging during off-peak hours so you wake up to a full battery at a fraction of the cost.
Safe, compliant installation
We assess your switchboard capacity before installation to ensure your home wiring isn't overloaded. No shortcuts.
Ready every morning
Plug in when you get home and wake up fully charged. No more range anxiety or hunting for a public charger.

Common questions about EV charger installation
How much faster is a dedicated EV charger than a wall socket?
A dedicated EV charger can charge your vehicle up to 10x faster than a standard 3-pin wall socket. A wall socket can take 24 to 48 hours for a full charge, while a dedicated home charger typically charges overnight.
Do I need a switchboard upgrade before installing an EV charger?
Not always. Wairau Electric assesses your existing switchboard capacity as part of every installation. If an upgrade is needed, we'll let you know upfront before any work begins.
