What is dc fast charger installation?
DC fast charging is a different class of installation. Instead of the AC charging a car converts on board (7–22kW), a DC fast charger converts the power itself and pushes 50kW, 75kW, 150kW or more straight into the battery — adding meaningful range in minutes rather than hours. That capability suits sites where dwell is short and turnover matters: highway-adjacent stops, service stations, public hubs, fleet depots needing rapid turnaround. EV Install scopes and delivers DC fast charging as the serious electrical infrastructure project it is.
The defining constraint is supply. A DC fast charger is a major load — a single 150kW unit can draw more than many small businesses use in total — so these installations almost always require a high-capacity three-phase supply and, very often, a network/distributor connection upgrade or even a new transformer arrangement. This is firmly Level 2 ASP and distributor territory. We do not hold a Level 2 ASP licence and never claim to; we work with trusted Level 2 ASP electricians and coordinate the distributor process for you, managing the supply side so the project lands as one accountable result alongside the charging hardware we install and commission.
The hardware and site detail matter too. CCS2 is the standard fast-charging connector in Australia, and we specify units and connector configurations to match the vehicles and throughput you're targeting. Site requirements include space and ventilation/clearance for the cabinet, civil works and trenching for heavy cabling, protective bollards, signage and line-marking, accessible bays, and a payment and OCPP back-office so the operator controls pricing, monitoring and reporting on what is a high-value asset.
Because the cost and lead time of a DC project are dominated by the supply and civil works, early scoping is essential — getting a realistic read on the available network capacity at your site before committing. We carry out that feasibility assessment, design the installation to AS/NZS 3000 and the relevant standards, install and commission the chargers, and manage the Level 2 ASP and distributor coordination end to end. The result is rapid, reliable DC charging delivered by an EV specialist who has worked in this space since 2017.
Who it is for
If you run a workplace, manage a car park, operate a fleet or want to attract EV-driving customers, dc fast charger installation turns your site into a charging destination. We scope every project to the number of vehicles, the available electrical supply and how the bays will be used.
Every install is carried out by licensed electricians and completed to AS/NZS 3000 wiring standards. You can read more about electrical licensing in NSW via NSW Fair Trading.
Charger options for dc fast charger installation
We are brand-independent and install the unit that suits you best. Typical fits for this service include CCS2 DC fast charger (50kW), CCS2 DC fast charger (150kW+), Ocular IQ and EVSE Australia. Not sure what you need? Our EV charger types guide explains 7.4kW, 11kW and 22kW AC chargers, DC fast charging, and smart vs basic units, and our charger brands page compares Tesla, Wallbox, EVSE Australia and more.
The installation process
- Feasibility & capacity check. We assess site space, civil constraints and — critically — the available network capacity before any commitment.
- Design & supply scope. We design the DC installation and scope the high-capacity three-phase supply and distributor connection with our Level 2 ASP partners.
- Civil & supply works. We coordinate trenching, cabinet pad, heavy cabling and the supply/distributor upgrade so the site is ready for the hardware.
- Install & commission. We install the DC chargers, CCS2 connectors, bollards, signage and line-marking, then commission to AS/NZS 3000.
- Payment & handover. We set up payment, OCPP monitoring and reporting, verify rapid charging with vehicles, and hand over a fully certified asset.
Electrical requirements
DC fast charging is a major load requiring a high-capacity three-phase supply and, very often, a network/distributor connection upgrade — Level 2 ASP and distributor territory handled via our partners, never claimed in-house. Site needs include cabinet clearance/ventilation, heavy cabling and civil works, dedicated protection, CCS2 connectors, and OCPP networking for payment and monitoring. We assess available network capacity first, then design, install and certify to AS/NZS 3000.
Switchboard upgrades. If your property needs a switchboard upgrade before installation, we work with trusted, fully licensed Level 2 ASP electricians to coordinate this seamlessly — we manage the process so you don’t have to deal with a separate trade.
Key benefits
- Add real range in minutes with 50kW+ DC rapid charging for high-turnover sites.
- CCS2 hardware specified to your target vehicles and throughput.
- Feasibility assessment of available network capacity before you commit.
- Supply upgrades and distributor process coordinated via our Level 2 ASP partners.
- Payment, OCPP monitoring and reporting so the operator controls a high-value asset.
What does it cost?
Indicative: fully project-scoped and supply-dominated. DC fast-charger hardware alone runs from tens of thousands of dollars per unit and scales with power (50kW vs 150kW+), before civil works and the often-substantial network/distributor supply upgrade — which is quoted separately and coordinated via our Level 2 ASP partners. We start with a feasibility assessment so the budget is realistic up front.
