HELIOS ELECTRICAL GROUP
Home and commercial EV charging designed around the vehicle, electrical supply and property.
Helios Electrical Group installs EV chargers across Adelaide, with the available electrical supply, switchboard capacity, charger location, cable route and load requirements assessed before installation.

A good EV charging setup needs to work with the electrical supply, switchboard and existing loads at the property. We assess the complete installation before recommending the way forward.
EV CHARGING ADELAIDE
Helios Electrical Group provides EV charger installation for homes and businesses across Adelaide and surrounding suburbs.
Before installation, we consider the available electrical supply, existing switchboard, charger capacity, cable route, vehicle requirements and how other electrical loads are already being used at the property.
Where suitable, load management, solar integration and future energy upgrades can also be considered as part of the overall charging setup.
Charger capacity considered around the vehicle, electrical supply and practical charging requirements.
Switchboard capacity, existing loads, cable route and electrical infrastructure checked before installation.
Solar, battery storage, load management and future vehicle charging needs considered where relevant.
EV CHARGING SOLUTIONS
Dedicated EV charging for homes, garages, carports and suitable external parking locations.
EV charging solutions for workplaces and commercial properties where charging requirements and available electrical capacity need to be considered together.
Compatible smart chargers can provide more control over when and how the vehicle charges.
Some properties require electrical work before the desired charger can be installed safely and practically.
BEFORE WE INSTALL
The charger itself is only one part of the electrical installation.
Before recommending an installation, we look at the property and the electrical system around it so the charger is suitable for the available supply and intended use.
Available supply and whether the property is single phase or three phase.
Existing circuit protection, capacity and available room for the new charging circuit.
Other significant electrical loads already operating at the property.
Where the vehicle parks and the most practical position for the charging equipment.
Distance and practical route between the switchboard and charger location.
Solar, battery storage, additional EVs or other future electrical changes where relevant.
CHARGING CAPACITY
Many Adelaide homes have a single phase electrical supply and can still have a dedicated EV charger installed.
The appropriate charging capacity depends on the available supply, the vehicle, the charger and how much other electrical load is already present at the property.
A three phase upgrade is not automatically required simply because you are purchasing an EV.
Three phase properties can support different charging arrangements where the vehicle and charger are compatible.
The actual charge rate is still influenced by the vehicle, charger and electrical design, so the highest possible charger rating is not always the most useful choice.
We assess the application before recommending the charging setup.
SMARTER POWER USE
An EV charger can be one of the larger electrical loads in a home, particularly when other equipment is operating at the same time.
Where suitable equipment is available, load management can allow the charger to respond to the total electrical demand at the property rather than operating at maximum output regardless of what else is running.
This can be useful where the property has limited spare electrical capacity or where several significant electrical loads need to work together.
ENERGY INTEGRATION
Some compatible chargers and monitoring systems can adjust charging around available solar production.
Where a battery is installed, EV charging should be considered as part of the wider energy strategy so the systems operate in a way that suits your goals.
If solar or battery storage may be installed later, we can consider those plans when assessing charger location, switchboard capacity and electrical infrastructure.
OUR PROCESS
We review the vehicle, preferred charger location, electrical supply, switchboard, cable route and any significant existing loads.
Charger capacity, circuit requirements, cable route, load management and any required switchboard work are considered before installation.
The charger is installed, tested and commissioned, with smart features and monitoring configured where applicable.
COMMON QUESTIONS
A dedicated home charger can provide a more practical charging setup than relying on a general purpose outlet. The appropriate charger and circuit depend on the vehicle, property and electrical supply.
No. EV chargers can be installed on both single phase and three phase properties. The suitable charging capacity depends on the available electrical supply, vehicle requirements and the existing load at the property.
Not necessarily. The actual charging rate depends on the charger, electrical supply and the vehicle's own charging capability. Installing a charger with a higher rating does not automatically mean every vehicle can use the full available capacity.
Not every EV charger installation requires a complete switchboard upgrade. We assess the existing board, available space, circuit protection, electrical supply and proposed charger before determining what work is required.
Load management allows compatible charging equipment to adjust charging based on the electrical demand at the property. It can be useful where available supply capacity needs to be shared between the charger and other electrical loads.
Some compatible EV chargers and monitoring systems can support charging strategies that respond to available solar production. The available features depend on the selected charger and the solar and monitoring equipment installed at the property.
Yes. An EV charger, solar system and home battery can form part of the same household energy system. How they should operate together depends on your charging priorities, solar production, battery strategy and selected equipment.
Charger location depends on where the vehicle normally parks, equipment requirements, cable access and the surrounding environment. Garages, carports and suitable external locations can all be considered.
Yes. Helios provides EV charging solutions for homes and businesses. Commercial installations are assessed around charger quantity, available supply, intended use, electrical infrastructure and any load management requirements.
Helios Electrical Group provides EV charger installation across Adelaide and surrounding suburbs. Send through your suburb, vehicle, preferred charger and a photo of the switchboard where possible and we can assess the next step.
Tell us your vehicle, preferred charger and where it will be installed and we can assess the best way forward.
