TopChoice recommendations are editorially curated by our New Zealand team. Rather than listing every business that pays to appear, we research each local market and shortlist only the ev charger installers who consistently stand out.
We don't host our own reviews. Instead, we draw on public reputation signals from Google and other platforms, alongside the wider research that goes into each list. Every EV charger installer is assessed using a consistent framework that considers factors such as:
Every Top 5 list is reviewed periodically and can change over time as businesses grow, improve, or fall short, so the recommendations stay current and worth trusting.
Before you commit, it pays to ask a few key questions.
EV charger installation is electrical work and must be done by a registered electrician.
A charger draws a lot of continuous current; your board may need an upgrade first.
A standard 7kW home charger suits most households; faster options cost more and may need three-phase power.
If you have or plan solar, ask whether the charger can prioritise your own generation.
A good installer manages any required notification to your lines company for you.
TopChoice takes a curated approach by limiting each city to just five recommended ev charger installers. This avoids the clutter common in open directories and makes it far easier to compare your options without endless scrolling.
Choosing an EV charger installer can be a big decision, and it's hard to know who to trust. We do the legwork, so you can shortlist quickly and reach out with confidence. Every EV charger installer on our lists is independent, local, and chosen on merit. Featured placements may be available and are clearly labelled, but they never influence the editorial rankings.
Cost depends on charger speed, cable run length and whether your switchboard needs upgrading first. Get an itemised quote that separates the charger unit, electrical work and any switchboard costs.
Yes. EV charger installation is electrical work under New Zealand law and must be carried out by an electrician registered with the Electrical Workers Registration Board (EWRB).
You can in a pinch, but it's slow and not recommended for regular use. A dedicated Level 2 home charger installed on its own circuit is faster and safer for everyday charging.
We editorially assess local ev charger installers using a consistent framework, public customer reviews and feedback, evidence of workmanship, clarity of service and quoting, professional standards, and communication quality. We don't host our own reviews; rankings reflect real-world reputation drawn from Google and other public sources.
