EV Charger Installation in Brighton & Bayside
Brighton's larger homes commonly have double or triple garages, and it's increasingly common for us to be asked about a second charger from day one because there are two EVs in the household. That's a different scope to a single-charger quote, particularly around cable sizing and how the switchboard shares the load.
Being this close to the bay, salt air is a genuine consideration for every outdoor electrical fitting, not just a nice-to-have. Charger enclosures, isolators and any exposed hardware need to be properly IP-rated with stainless fasteners, or corrosion will start showing within a couple of years.
A lot of Brighton, Hampton and Sandringham properties also have landscaped gardens between the switchboard and garage, meaning cable runs are often trenched across lawns and garden beds rather than run along an existing driveway edge.

Double and triple garages, sometimes two chargers
Where a household has two EVs, we generally recommend two dedicated circuits with dynamic load balancing so both vehicles can charge without exceeding your home's supply capacity. For triple garages, there's usually enough wall space to mount chargers cleanly without cable clutter.
We size everything to the property's actual layout rather than assuming a standard driveway-side garage, since bayside homes vary a lot in how garaging is arranged relative to the house.
Building for salt air, not just weather
Standard fittings corrode faster this close to the bay, so we specify IP-rated charger enclosures and stainless steel fixings as standard on Brighton, Hampton and Sandringham installs, even for chargers mounted inside a garage that's not fully sealed from the air.
Any exposed conduit or isolator switches get the same treatment — it costs little extra at install time and avoids a corroded, sticky isolator a few summers down the track.
Trenching, install day and smart charging
Where the cable run crosses a landscaped garden, we trench carefully and reinstate the area as close to original as we can, coordinating timing with your gardener or landscaper if needed. Long trenched runs get cable sized to avoid voltage drop over distance.
On the day we terminate the circuit, mount and commission the charger, and test to AS/NZS 3000 before issuing your Certificate of Electrical Safety. Many bayside homes already have solar, so we set the charger to prioritise self-consumption during the day where that's the goal.

EV Charger Installation in Brighton & Bayside: common questions
Do I need special equipment because I'm near the bay?+
Yes, we'd recommend it. Salt air accelerates corrosion on standard outdoor fittings, so we use IP-rated charger enclosures and stainless steel fixings for Brighton, Hampton and Sandringham installs. It's a small difference in spec that prevents a corroded isolator or housing a few years down the track.
Can I get two chargers installed for two EVs?+
Yes, this is common in Brighton's double and triple garages. We'll usually run two dedicated circuits with dynamic load balancing so both vehicles charge without exceeding your home's available supply capacity, avoiding a situation where the main switch trips during peak household demand.
My garage is a long way from the switchboard across the garden — what does that involve?+
It means a trenched cable run rather than a simple conduit fix along a driveway. We size the cable for the distance to avoid voltage drop, trench carefully through the garden, and reinstate the area afterwards so your landscaping isn't left looking disturbed.
Can the charger work with my solar system?+
Yes, we install OCPP-compatible smart chargers that can be scheduled to charge during daylight hours when your solar panels are producing, reducing how much you draw from the grid. It's a common setup request across bayside homes that already have solar installed.
