Type 2 EV Charger Installation

The type 2 EV charger is the standard charging connector for most electric vehicles sold in New Zealand, and Livewire Electrical installs them for both residential and commercial customers across Auckland. Our team supplies and installs quality EV wall chargers that are compatible with virtually every modern EV on the market.

A type 2 EV charger uses a seven-pin connector that has become the default standard for AC charging in New Zealand and Australia. Most EVs sold in NZ, including popular models from Tesla, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, and others, come with a Type 2 inlet, making this the most versatile choice for both home and business charging. Livewire Electrical installs type 2 charger units that deliver charging speeds of 7kW or higher depending on your switchboard setup, giving you a significant improvement over standard socket charging.

Our EV wall charger installation service in NZ covers everything from the initial site assessment to final commissioning. We select a mounting location that suits your garage or carport layout, run cabling back to your switchboard, and install a dedicated circuit breaker for the charger. All EV wall charger installations are carried out to current New Zealand electrical standards and include a certificate of compliance. We can also install smart chargers with app-based scheduling and energy monitoring, which is useful if you want to charge during off-peak electricity hours.

Whether you need a type 2 EV charger for your home or a row of EV wall chargers for a commercial site, Livewire Electrical has the experience and equipment to get the job done. We work with a range of charger brands and can advise on the best unit for your needs and budget.
