For people who managed to get below, a post for share your quotes and/or electrician details.
Please keep to the topic.

Ocular LTE Three Phase 22kw wall charger /w 6M cable(bunnings.com.au) for only $250
or
Tesla Wall Connector Gen 3 EV Charger $710 + Delivery ($0 C&C)

I was about to order telsa charger but ordered Ocular given its pricing. I haven't got it but Bunnings said it will come in 1 or 2 weeks. My sparky is out of town at the moment (he texted me back today saying he is taking a holiday and overseas)
Can share his details once he is back and if his rates are reasonable.
Also, I can ring around and get a quote for ozb members if there are enough interested from people in Sydney.

For those reponding, please state below and example;

  • Location, Region or Surburb: North Shore
  • Current main switch set up: 3 phase
  • Installation required: 3 phase Ocular LTE
  • Est cable run required: under 5m
  • ground work required: No
  • currently have solar: No
  • Sparky to source below parts: Yes

Based on EVSE website, below should be done.
- RCBO Type A protection device in the existing utility panel box
- Isolation Switch

    Yeah, $250 for an Occular charger, especially a 22kW unit is a pricing error, I would think it would be hard to find a used one for that price. If you made good on it and got one at that price, you made out like a bandit.

    Anyway, into pricing for install… this is a “how long is a piece of string” scenario. Everyone’s install is going to be different. Different houses, different mounting, different distance, different allowance for load, some are going to require fuse board upgrades, 3 phase vs single phase installs… so, what might be a $600 install for you may be a $1,600 install for someone else.

      understand - created the post to share their detail/experience.

      Would a 22kw charger unit charge at 22kwh per hour meaning charge a 60kwh battery in under 3 hours?

      Alsp with the free ev charging deal from energy retailer how do they know/ confirm you have an ev to be eligible for that free ev charging at home? Like do people say they have an ev when they dont? Similar to samsung phone trade in where people just dont send the tradein phone

        off topic Qs but 1st Q: yes. 2nd Q: check with your energy retailer. many dont check, but some could check.

    If the device purchased from bunnings is defective, who pays for the de-install, and re-install of the replacement?

      if you buy an outdoor lighting and found defective while installing, who pays for de-install, and re-install?
      it's same with everything else

    The Ocular 22kW charger on Bunnings marketplace, sold by EVSE Australia, is $895. For some reason Bunnings has put the name in the headings as "EVE Australia" but EVSE in the details. https://www.bunnings.com.au/ocular-lte-22kw-w-6m-type-2-cabl…

    If you managed to buy one for $250, then that's pretty special.

      created post for people who managed to get one and like to share electrician details / experience.

    Interesting - could be potential for some to install + upgrade their home to phase 3 too

      once we have enough interest, I can ask series of quotes and options like
      - price difference by under 5m cable run and 5 to 15m cable run
      - 3 phase upgrade (for those who has single)
      - or price by the hour option / half day / options
      etc
      and, happy for someone else to share their prices & experience if there are better ones.
