EV charger installation

EV Charger Installation

Chargers are serious pieces of equipment that need to be installed by qualified electricians. In saying that, it’s a routine job and can be completed in a few hours.

Note that installation is only provided for chargers either purchased through AGL or from BMW/MINI.

Rental:

You can install an EV charger at your rental as long as you have permission in writing from your landlord (and body corporate if applicable).

We can help you out with a draft landlord letter and even speak to them directly if they have any questions about the installation.

• Download the draft letter template 

Apartment:

Apartment installations are possible but can be complicated. You'll need permission from your body corporate, and advice from an electrician based on your body corporate's requirements. As most people expect the charging to be "user pays", a key issue is usually getting the power to your place of parking from wherever it is metered for your property/bill.
