EV Chargers & Installation

Most chargers need expensive add-ons to do what our standard install already includes. We supply and install Evnex smart chargers with built-in load management, carry out a free home assessment before we touch anything, and back it all up with installation warranty and ongoing support. For all questions or to book a consultation, please call us on 0800 522 328.

Not all EV chargers are equal

Most homeowners don’t find out until after installation that their charger can’t handle a full household load. Standard chargers don’t monitor your home’s power draw. Run the dishwasher, the oven, and the dryer at the same time you’re charging – and you trip the breaker.

The fix? Other brands sell “load management” as a costly add-on – often nearly half the price of the charger again.

We install Evnex as standard. Load management is built in.

Your charger checks before it charges

EVnex monitors your home’s total power draw in real time. Before it starts charging, it checks whether there’s enough capacity available. If demand is too high – from cooking, appliances, or other loads – it waits. The moment capacity frees up, it starts automatically.

No tripped breakers. No manual switching. No compromising on charge time.

This is why we recommend Evnex. Not because it’s the easiest option – because it’s the right one.

What's included when you go with us

Free Home Assessment
Before we quote, we come out and assess your home’s electrical capacity. We check whether your switchboard can handle the additional load and confirm what setup will work best for your property. This is included as part of your quote – no cost, no obligation.

Smart Charger as Standard
We install EVnex chargers with built-in load management, app control, and safety features including overcurrent, overvoltage, ground fault, and surge protection – all included, no add-ons required.

Heavy Vehicle Capability
Got a ute, van, or larger EV? We assess for this specifically. Not every property or charger setup can handle higher-load vehicles – we make sure yours can before installation starts.

Installation Warranty
All installations come with our standard one-year installation warranty. Evnex also provides manufacturer warranty and ongoing product support through their SABL partnership.

Ongoing Support
Evnex and SABL support the chargers directly – not just Jace Electrical. You’ve got multiple layers of after-care if anything comes up.

Faqs

Explore our frequently asked questions about our ev charger supply and installation services.

Do I need a licensed electrician to install an EV charger in NZ?

Yes. EV charger installation is restricted electrical work in New Zealand and must be carried out by a registered electrician. DIY installation is illegal and will void your warranty and insurance.

That’s exactly what our free home assessment is for. We check your switchboard, existing load, and cabling before recommending a solution. Many homes need minor upgrades – we’ll tell you upfront.

Load management lets your charger monitor your home’s total power draw and adjust automatically so it doesn’t overload your circuits. Without it, charging during high-demand periods (cooking, heating, appliances) can trip your breaker. Evnex has this built in – most other chargers charge extra for it.

Most standard home installations are completed in half a day. If switchboard work is required, we’ll advise on timing when we complete your assessment.

Yes. We’re based in Rolleston and service all of Christchurch and Canterbury.
