Why homeowners choose it

Built around how you actually charge

  • Avoids a supply upgrade

    Often saves thousands versus increasing your service capacity.

  • No nuisance tripping

    The charger backs off automatically instead of tripping the main.

  • Two EVs on one supply

    Available current is shared between chargers, not doubled.

  • Uses every spare amp

    Charging runs at the highest safe rate available at any moment.

Installation process

  1. 01

    Establish the supply limit

    The main switch rating sets the ceiling the system must respect.

  2. 02

    Install metering

    A CT clamp is fitted so the charger can see total household current.

  3. 03

    Configure and calibrate

    The charger's limit is set and tested against real household loads.

  4. 04

    Verify

    We load the home and confirm the charger throttles rather than trips.

Typical scenarios

Common Newcastle property patterns

  • 63A single phase home with ducted air conditioning

    Load management removes the risk of summer evening trips.

  • Older service with limited capacity

    Charging fits inside the existing supply, no upgrade needed.

FAQs

Load Management questions

  • Does load management slow my charging down?

    Only when the house needs the current — overnight it typically runs at full rate.

  • Which chargers support it?

    Most quality chargers support it with a CT clamp or external meter; we confirm compatibility first.

  • Is it a substitute for a switchboard upgrade?

    It solves capacity, not condition. An unsafe board still needs upgrading.
