Priced separately, in your quote

Questions about the E2 Plus
How much is an E2 Plus installed in New Zealand?
We haven't published ours yet: it needs our installer's written trade price, and we won't post a number we can't honour. For reference, Evnex sells the E2 Plus installed direct for $2,555 as a base estimate, and the published New Zealand range for this kind of job is $1,500 to $2,500. Send your photos and we'll email your fixed price as soon as it's set.
Will the E2 Plus work with my car?
It has a tethered Type 2 connector, which is the standard AC connector on essentially every EV and plug-in hybrid sold new in New Zealand. The thing to check is your car's maximum AC charging rate, which for most cars is 7kW or 11kW.
Do I need three phase?
No. This is a single-phase charger and it runs on the supply almost every New Zealand home already has. Single phase vs three phase.
What if my switchboard needs work?
It's priced in the same quote as a named line, not discovered on the day. The published New Zealand range for switchboard work is $1,500 to $3,000, and a photo of your board with the door open tells us in seconds whether you need it. More on switchboards.
Who installs it, and do I get a certificate?
A registered electrician from our partner installer does all the electrical work, tests it and issues the Certificate of Compliance in their own name. We quote the job and hold the contract with you. We are not electricians. What the certificate is.
When do I pay?
A $500 deposit when you accept the price, fully refundable any time before installation starts. The balance is invoiced only after the Certificate of Compliance is issued.
Send your photos. Get one price.
Five phone photos and five minutes. We check them with our installer and email one fixed price for the charger, the install and the Certificate of Compliance. Nothing is charged until you accept it.
