Cronulla houses with garages suit home charging. In unit blocks near the beach, chargers usually need strata approval and a careful look at the supply.
EV Charger Installation Cronulla: what we typically find
Apartment owners in Cronulla need strata approval and a plan for the supply. In houses, coastal conditions affect where chargers are mounted.
We check capacity, plan the cable route and recommend load management.
How the job works in Cronulla
We'll provide a written scope for your committee.
For houses, a typical installation involves a capacity check, a dedicated cable, the charger and protection, then commissioning with your car. On exposed driveways near the beach, we'll suggest a sheltered mounting spot or a suitable enclosure, and check the manufacturer's requirements for coastal locations.
In Cronulla apartment buildings, car spaces are usually in a shared basement. The supply may come from your own unit board, a separate meter or a shared EV charging system. Each option has different costs and approvals, and we'll set them out clearly for your strata committee.
Whatever the property, every installation finishes with testing and a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work.
Some Cronulla houses have older switchboards with limited capacity. If a board upgrade is needed, we'll quote both jobs together and complete them in the right order.

About Cronulla
Unit blocks from the 1960s and 70s near North Cronulla, South Cronulla and the Esplanade make up a large share of our Cronulla work. Their switchboards are often original and short on safety switches, and their outdoor fittings take a beating from the salt air. We do a lot of switchboard upgrades, safety switch installations and corrosion-related fault finding here.

EV Chargers in Cronulla: FAQs
Can I charge in my apartment car space?
Possibly, with strata approval.
Can my charger use my solar?
Many can, depending on the charger and inverter. Tell us your models and we'll explain the options.
Do I need three-phase power?
No. A single-phase 7 kW charger suits most people. Three-phase helps if you already have it.
