Why Como Properties Need a Proper EV Charging Circuit
Como sits on a peninsula between the Georges River and Woronora River, and its housing stock reflects that geography. Many homes here are older brick-and-tile properties built from the 1950s through to the 1980s, often with single-phase 63A or even older 40A supply from the street. Plugging an EV into a standard GPO on one of these properties can cause nuisance tripping and, over time, damage to wiring that was never designed for overnight continuous loads.
A dedicated 32A circuit from your switchboard to the garage or carport is the standard solution. This means the charger draws from its own breaker, monitored separately, and does not compete with your hot water system, air conditioning or oven during peak household hours. For Como homes with a single-phase supply, a 7.2 kW AC charger on a 32A circuit will fully charge most EVs — including the popular BYD Atto 3 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 — overnight.
Some newer Como properties and recent knock-down-rebuilds on the river side of Boronia Road have had three-phase supply installed, which opens the door to 11 kW or 22 kW AC charging. Voltie Electrical will check your Ausgrid supply at the meter before recommending any hardware, so you never buy a three-phase charger your switchboard cannot support.
Como's carport-heavy streetscape also means outdoor-rated IP65 charging units are typically the right choice — wall-mounted under an eave where possible, with conduit run to protect cabling from the UV and humidity that comes with a riverside location.
What a Voltie EV Charger Install Looks Like in Como
Every job starts with an on-site assessment of your switchboard, existing wiring, and the distance from the meter box to where the car parks. Como homes on sloping blocks often require longer cable runs through the subfloor or via external conduit — we factor this into the quote before any work begins, not after.
- Switchboard inspection — check for spare breaker slots, earth continuity and RCD protection
- Load calculation — confirm the existing supply can carry 32A additional continuous draw
- Cable route planned — subfloor, roof cavity or surface conduit depending on the property
- Charger installed and tested — output voltage, earth loop impedance and RCD trip time verified
- Certificate of Compliance issued — required for your insurer and for any future property sale
