GET MORE FROM YOUR SOLAR

Turn surplus solar into kilometres, not low-rate exports.

Most solar homes export excess energy to the grid for just a few cents per unit. An Evnex charger detects that surplus and feeds it straight into your EV battery — so you wake up with both a charged home and a charged car.

  • Solar diversion mode that automatically uses surplus solar generation first.
  • Scheduling tools so you can choose night-rate top-ups when the sun is not shining.
  • Real-time app data on cost per charge, kWh delivered, and carbon savings.
  • Overload protection that works quietly in the background with your existing switchboard.

HOW IT WORKS

Three simple steps to a smarter EV charger.

01

Free consultation

Tell us about your home, switchboard location, and EV. We confirm whether an E2 or X22 model is the best fit and how solar ties in.

02

Installation day

Sinclair electricians install your Evnex charger, run cabling, complete testing, and get the app connected — usually in a single day.

03

Charge on sunshine

Plug in when you get home. Your charger automatically prefers surplus solar, then tops up from the grid as needed overnight.

PRICING

From $2,500 fully installed — here's what's included.

Included in a typical install

  • Evnex E2 smart EV charger (model confirmed on quote).
  • Full installation by a licensed Sinclair Electrical electrician.
  • Switchboard assessment and dedicated circuit installation.
  • Commissioning, testing, and app set-up on your phone.
  • Advice on solar diversion modes and tariff settings.
  • Evnex 4-year product warranty and Sinclair aftercare.

What can change the final price?

  • Cable run length — installs are sharpest when the charger is close to the switchboard or garage distribution board.
  • Switchboard upgrades — older boards may need space or protection upgrades to safely carry 32A EV loads.
  • Single vs three-phase — three-phase and X22 projects often require extra design time and materials.
  • Building type — long runs, carports, and detached sheds add conduit, labour, and mounting work.

Pricing is indicative and assumes standard installation. A site assessment or photos will confirm your exact figure. All pricing includes GST.

COMMON QUESTIONS

EV charger FAQs

How much does an EV charger cost installed in Taranaki?

Sinclair Electrical installs Evnex EV chargers from $2,500 fully installed. This includes the charger, standard installation, commissioning, and testing. Final pricing depends on your switchboard location, cable run length, and which model you choose.

Can I use my solar panels to charge my EV?

Yes. The Evnex E2 range includes solar diversion technology. It detects when your solar system is exporting surplus power and automatically diverts that energy into your EV instead of sending it back to the grid for a low buy-back rate.

Is Evnex compatible with my EV?

Evnex chargers are compatible with all EVs in New Zealand that use a Type 2 charging port — the standard on all new EVs sold here. If you have an older Type 1 vehicle, the team can advise on adapter options.

Will an EV charger overload my switchboard?

Evnex E2 chargers include built-in home overload protection. The charger monitors your home’s load and automatically reduces charging speed if needed to protect your main supply and avoid nuisance tripping.

Do I need three-phase power?

Most homes in Taranaki are single-phase and work perfectly with the E2 range at up to 7.4kW. The X22 model is available for three-phase properties that want maximum charging speed.

Do you install for businesses as well as homes?

Yes. Sinclair Electrical installs Evnex chargers for homes, small fleets, and commercial premises across Taranaki — often alongside new or existing solar systems.
