Upgrading switchboard from 32A to 64A

Power Sensor
1

Got a E2 Core installed on a 32A switchboard, so max load is set to 6.1 KW for the power sensor - very limiting :slight_smile:

Upgrading the switch board to 64A next week - new 16mm feed inline etc. What do I need to do to get the max load upgraded to something more appropriate? (14kw?)

Hi Lindsay, Richard here from the Tech Support team. We can make the adjustment in the charger settings for you to reflect your supply upgrade. All we would need is your electricians details as well as a photo of your mains board with the new supply installed and if you can send it through to support@evnex.com along with your chargers Serial Number or email address associated with your account. Have a great day.

Hi Lindsay,

I’ve just signed up for a Flex install at my mother-in-law’s place in Melbourne, which also has a 32A feed.

I understand if you’d prefer not to say, but I was wondering if you’d be comfortable giving me an idea of what the install cost you.

Kind regards,
Steve

The upgrade to 63A cost me $1.4k, though that was nothing to do with evnex per se, more a general house upgrade.

The evnex install (Core 2) was $2.5k - but I did have a long run from the switch board to the charger which added to the cost.

Thanks Lindsay, I really appreciate you sharing the price. I assume they didn’t need to run a new feed from the street pole to the house and only had to upgrade the switchboard?

Our Flex install is costing a bit over $3k. While it’s not a long run to the switchboard, we did ask for a trench to be dug across a pathway (not concrete), which has added to the cost.

I have an E2 Plus in my apartment garage that was installed last year and I couldn’t be happier with it. The load detection feature was a must in my case, as it helps manage the available power and avoid overloading the supply. The electricians who installed it were great too.

Thanks again for the information. Kind regards Steve

Pole to the house was ok (80A)

Needed to run new 16mm cable from where the street feed connected to the house to the switchboard (through the attic) plus new conduit down the side of the house.

Our switch board is located on the rear of the house, its a PITA.

We did get an exceptionally cheap quote from a firm we do a lot of business with.

Totally worth it though, evnex now has a 59A load limit - around 13kw, makes a big difference when charging in free hours. Also the toaster no longer trips our main relay :slight_smile:
