Worth knowing
Where the money actually goes
On a typical Adelaide install, roughly half the invoice is the physical work — running cable, mounting the charger, connecting and testing — and the rest depends on what the switchboard needs to support it. A straightforward job with a nearby board and short cable run sits at the low end of the range; anything involving a switchboard upgrade or a long conduit run through brick pushes it up.
Hardware is usually priced separately from installation, so a quote for "installation only" isn't the full picture if you haven't bought a charger yet.
