SERVING THE MORNINGTON PENINSULA

Fast EV charging, built to last

EV chargers make owning an electric vehicle easier, safer and more convenient, whether you are charging at home, at work or making use of cheap or free electricity periods from your energy retailer.


At Watson Electrical & Solar, we install EV charging solutions that are selected to suit your vehicle, switchboard, solar system, battery setup and day-to-day charging needs. We take the time to explain your options clearly, including standard chargers, smart chargers and solar-aware charging, so you can choose a system that actually suits how you use your car.


Every installation is completed with a focus on safety, clean workmanship and long-term reliability. From the initial advice and site assessment through to installation, testing and handover, we make sure your charger is installed properly and ready to perform.

Based on 63 reviews
highly recommend Watson Electrical and Solar for solar battery installation. The electrician Ben was professional, knowledgeable and took the time to explain and analyse the design options for the new system. He communicated from start to finish in a respectful and clear manner happily answering any questions or concerns I had with the installation or the system app along the way. Watson Electrical provided a prompt, efficient and an exceptionally clean and tidy installation. It was a seamless process and great value from a highly skilled family business.
From start to finish, Ben was professional, reliable and genuinely easy to deal with. The quality of the work was outstanding, everything was completed efficiently, and he went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.
I had Ben and his team from Watson Electrical install a home EV charger, and I’m really happy with the service I received. They were professional, friendly and very easy to deal with. The whole process was smooth from start to finish.
Ben offered a very reasonable quote to supply and install an EV charger. The charger was quickly and efficiently installed. The job was very neat. Ben then spent the necessary time explaining how to set up and use the charger to suit my needs. I would happily recommend Ben.
Great help from Ben today. Expert advice about our solar system. Thanks so much
Good communication, punctual, good workmanship - all for a reasonable price! Highly recommended!
Ben was very patient in explaining the details of the fast charger I was interested in installing in my home. He was prompt in replying to all my correspondences to him. He arrived early on the day of installation and did the job quickly and effectively. Very professional and I would highly recommend him .
I recently had a Fronius Wattpilot Flex EV charger installed by Watson Electrical & Solar, and I'm very happy with the overall experience. The installation was completed to a very high standard. The workmanship is neat and professional, with excellent attention to detail. The charger was fully commissioned, integrated with my Fronius solar inverter and smart meter, connected to Wi-Fi, and updated to the latest firmware. Ben took the time to answer all my questions and explain the system. There was a pricing error on an updated quote before the installation, where GST had been applied incorrectly. I contacted Ben, who acknowledged the mistake immediately, apologised, and issued a corrected quote without any hassle. That level of honesty and customer service gave me a lot of confidence in the business. Although the charger was initially delayed due to supplier back orders, Ben kept me informed throughout the process and completed the installation as soon as stock became available. I would happily recommend Watson Electrical & Solar to anyone looking for a quality EV charger installation, especially if you have a Fronius solar system.

EV charging, set up around you

Every EV charger installation is different, so we recommend a setup based on your vehicle, property, solar system, switchboard and charging habits. We have installed a wide range of brands, but commonly recommend trusted options such as Evnex, Zappi and Tesla.

We can also guide you through practical charging considerations, including solar charging, smart charging and electricity tariff plans that may help you take advantage of cheaper overnight charging periods.

Common questions

Can I install an EV charger at home?

Yes. Most homes can accommodate an EV charger, although your switchboard, available capacity and cable route may need to be assessed first. We will recommend a suitable charger setup and make sure it is installed safely and correctly.

Charging time depends on your vehicle, battery size and charger output. A dedicated home EV charger is much faster and more convenient than a standard power point, with most customers charging overnight or during cheaper electricity periods.

The right charger depends on your vehicle, property, solar system, charging habits and whether you want smart charging features. We can talk you through the options and recommend a setup that suits how you actually plan to charge.

A solar-aware EV charger can monitor your solar production and household usage, then adjust the charge rate to make better use of excess solar energy. For example, if your home is exporting solar to the grid, the charger can direct more of that energy into your vehicle instead. Some chargers also allow you to override this and charge at a faster rate when needed.

We can provide general guidance around electricity tariff plans, including cheaper overnight charging periods and how they may suit your charging habits. This can help you get better value from your EV charger, especially if you charge regularly at home.
