Level 1 vs Level 2 EV Charging
Not all EV charging is the same.
We install both Level 1 and Level 2 charging systems, depending on what suits your vehicle and lifestyle.
Level 1 Charging
Standard PowerPoint
- Uses a normal household 230V outlet with the portable charger that usually comes with the car.
- Easy to use, but very slow – adds about 5–15 km of driving range per hour.
- Best suited for plug-in hybrids or very low daily mileage.
Level 2 Charging
Dedicated Charger Box
- Installed on a dedicated 240V circuit, with a charger mounted close to where you park.
- Much faster – adds around 40–120 km of driving range per hour.
- Ideal for fully electric vehicles and for drivers who need reliable daily charging.
- Can be installed at home or at workplaces to keep vehicles charged efficiently.
In Short: Level 1 charging works in a pinch, but Level 2 is the practical choice for most EV owners in New Zealand. With RLM Electrical, we can advise on what’s right for you, supply the charger, and install it safely and compliantly.

How much does an EV Charger cost?
The main factor is how far your mains switchboard is from your garage or parking spot. Longer distances may need extra wiring or trenching.

EV Charger Electrician - FAQ
1. Can I install my own EV charger?
No. EV chargers must be installed by a registered electrician. DIY installs are unsafe, may void insurance, and don’t meet NZ regulations.
2. How long does installation take?
Most jobs are completed in a day, unless extra wiring or a panel upgrade is needed.
3. How much does it cost?
Costs vary depending on your home’s setup, especially how close the switchboard is to your parking space. That’s why we provide a free assessment and clear quote before starting.
4. Is a Level 2 charger worth it?
Yes. Level 2 chargers (like the Terra AC Wallbox) charge much faster than a standard plug, making them more practical and cost-effective for daily use.
