Powering Perth’s EV Future with Safe, Expert Installations
Electric vehicles (EVs) are no longer the future — they’re the now. With more Australians investing in EVs every month, the demand for safe, reliable EV charger installations across Perth is booming. But this isn’t just about plugging in and powering up — it’s about ensuring the charger is installed by a licensed, insured, and experienced electrician who understands your power needs and local regulations.
That’s where STB Electrical comes in. With over two decades of trusted service in Perth’s northern suburbs, we specialise in the installation, maintenance, and upgrade of EV chargers for homes and businesses alike.
🔌 Why EV Charger Installation Requires a Licensed Electrician
In Western Australia, installing an EV charger isn’t something a DIYer or handyman can legally perform. It requires:
A licensed electrical contractor (like STB Electrical – License EC14701)
Compliance with Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3000)
Load testing and circuit verification
Often a certificate of compliance after the work is done
Aside from voiding warranties and risking insurance claims, unlicensed installations can cause serious safety hazards.
🚗 What Types of EV Chargers Do We Install?
STB Electrical installs a wide range of EV charging units to suit both residential and commercial needs, including:
Level 1 Chargers – Basic units using a standard 10A power point (slowest)
Level 2 Chargers – Wall-mounted 7kW to 22kW fast chargers, ideal for home use
Three-Phase Commercial Chargers – For fleets, offices, and retail locations
We also assist with Tesla wall connectors, Zappi, Wallbox,
and other popular EV charger brands.
