How we do it
Spare ways, main switch rating, RCD type and what the rest of the house already draws. This is what decides whether a charger goes in as-is or needs board work first.
Charger, cable run, circuit, mounting, commissioning and certificate in one number - not an hourly rate that grows once we open the wall.
A charger needs its own protected circuit with the correct RCD type. We run it, terminate it and test it to AS/NZS 3000.
Set against your actual supply, not a default. Configured properly it lets most homes add a charger without upgrading their supply; skipped, it does nothing at all.
Where you already have a FoxESS inverter or battery, we set the charger up alongside it in FoxCloud and watch it draw from your own generation before we call it done.
Pair it to your account, run a live charge session, walk you through scheduling and issue your certificate of electrical safety. It works the first night, not the third.
The range
Two AC chargers sharing the same compact design, OCPP compliance and dynamic load balancing. What changes is how tough the shell is, how it connects, and whether it is ready for vehicle-to-grid. Charging power, cable length and warranty vary by variant - we confirm those against the current FoxESS datasheet when we quote rather than printing a figure here that may not match the unit you get.
Compact AC charging with solar linkage
Homes that already have solar. PV power can be used directly, so the car charges on generation you have already paid for.
What it means for the install: We configure the load balancing against your actual supply and set the solar linkage up before we leave, rather than leaving you to find it in the app.
Tougher shell, every connection, V2G ready
Exposed or high-traffic installs, sites where the Wi-Fi does not reach the switchboard, and anyone who wants the hardware ready for vehicle-to-grid.
What it means for the install: We pick the connection that actually works at your board - Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 4G or Ethernet - and prove it holds before handover instead of assuming the Wi-Fi reaches.

The range
We do not stock one brand and tell everyone it suits them. FoxESS earns its place for a specific reason: they make the inverter, the battery and the charger, so the parts are built to run as one system rather than three that happen to share a wall.
PV inverters, hybrid inverters, batteries and EV chargers, all managed through FoxCloud. Fewer handoffs between brands is fewer places for a fault to hide.
The L Series takes PV power directly, so the car fills on generation you have already paid for rather than on grid import.
Charging power adjusts to what the rest of the house is doing. On most Melbourne homes that is the difference between adding a charger and upgrading your supply.
IP55 on both, and IK10 impact rating on the C Series. An outdoor install holds up through summer sun and winter rain rather than degrading in a season.
OCPP 1.6 and 2.0.1 across the range, with an open MODBUS interface on the C Series. The charger will still talk to third-party software years from now.
The C Series is V2G hardware-ready to ISO 15118, so when vehicle-to-grid arrives the charger on your wall is not the thing stopping you.

More infoIt depends on your switchboard and the cable run, which is why we quote per job rather than publishing a number. The three things that move the price most are the distance from the board to the charger, whether the board has spare capacity, and whether the run goes through an accessible roof space or has to be surface mounted. We check all three before giving you a fixed price.
The L Series is the straightforward choice for a sheltered install on a home that already has solar, because it can take PV power directly. Go to the C Series if the charger will be somewhere exposed or knockable, if the Wi-Fi does not reach your switchboard, or if you want hardware that is already V2G-ready. Tell us where it is going and we will say which one we would fit.
Both are available in more than one variant, and FoxESS update the range, so we confirm the exact power rating, cable length and warranty against the current datasheet when we quote rather than quoting a figure that may not match the unit you receive. Ask and we will send you the datasheet for the model we are proposing.
The L Series supports solar linkage, meaning PV power can be used directly to charge the car. How much of your charging that covers depends on the size of your system and when you charge, which is part of what we work through before quoting. If you have a FoxESS inverter or battery already, the charger sits alongside them in FoxCloud.
Often not. Dynamic load balancing adjusts the charging power to what the rest of the house is drawing, which lets most homes add a charger without increasing their supply. Whether yours is one of them depends on the board and your existing load, and that is the first thing we check.
Yes. We are accredited for solar and battery work as well as general electrical, which is the reason FoxESS suits us as a brand - we can do the inverter, the battery and the charger as one system rather than sending you to three trades.
No. We are happy to supply and install as one job, or install a unit you have bought yourself. Either way the installation is certified and warranted the same.
We cover Melbourne and the surrounding suburbs. Check our service areas, or just ask - if we do not cover you we will say so rather than waste your time.
