Maxxia have partnered with JET Charge to provide a dedicated home charging solution just for you!
While modern EVs often provide a portable charging cable that you can simply plug into a standard power outlet, they’re considered a secondary charging method due to the length of time required to charge. By using a dedicated home charger, you’re able to charge your EV three to four times faster, allowing you to get more out of your vehicle, more often!
You’re also able to schedule charging to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates and if you have solar, you can select a model that can utilise your surplus solar.
So, if you’re ready to take charge of your driving future by switching from petrol to electric, you can rest assured you’re in safe hands with Maxxia and JET Charge!

Frequently Asked Questions
No doubt you’ve got questions – electric vehicles are still new to a lot of us, after all – but we’ve got the answers.
Firstly, it’s imperative to note that a dedicated home charger requires installation of the unit into your dedicated car space. This means a licensed electrician must connect power between your home switchboard and charger. JET Charge take care of all of this for you, but if you’re renting or in shared housing, you must ensure that you have necessary permissions for us to proceed.
For a basic home charger setup, you’ll simply require the following hardware:
• Dedicated Home Charger
• Type 2 to Type 2 Cable

Every property is unique. When it comes to the power available onsite and the existing infrastructure, your specific installation will either fall into a standard, or a non-standard installation.
JET Charge will do everything possible to ensure installation at your property is treated as a standard installation, However, if additional efforts outside of a standard installation are required, JET Charge will need to conduct a site assessment to provide a final quotation.

– Installation of a JET Charge supplied 7.2KW / 32 AMP Single Phase EV Wall Connector
– Dedicated circuit approximately 20 Meters of wall/ceiling mounted cable
– Isolation switch mounted readily accessible to the EV Wall Connector
– All associated electrical containment and hardware fixings for the installation.
– Installation of electrical circuit protection in switchboard
– Installation of Type A RCD at origin of the circuit. Type A RCDs protect against residual DC Current. (As per AS/NZS 3000:2018 Electrical Installation Wiring Rules)
A standard installation does not involve:
– Any electrical remedial works to meet current wiring regulations
– Any groundworks or other civil works
– Any underfloor work (other than easy under house access)
– Any hidden or structural location not in the ordinary course of installation
– Work over two storeys
– Switchboard upgrades or three phase power upgrades
Many electric vehicles today either include or have available for purchase a portable charging cable designed to plug into any designated power point. These cables are useful for charging in a pinch but are not recommended for daily charging due to the significantly slower charge rate. It is recommended to keep these cables in your boot as a backup option.
Please note that these cables cannot be used with your dedicated Autel home charger.
As part of your home charging solution, you’ll require a cable to connect from your dedicated home charger to the charge port of your electric vehicle.
This cable is detachable, allowing you to remove and take with you on long journeys to take advantage of the wider public charging network.
If you need to remove your dedicated home charger, JET Charge offers a straightforward process to assist you. Here’s what you need to know:
Removing your home charger is typically at your cost. The specific costs involved will depend on the complexity of the removal and any additional requirements you may have. It’s recommended to contact JET Charge directly to get a precise quote and to schedule the removal at a convenient time.
JET Charge provides professional services to ensure that the removal process is safe and efficient, minimising any potential disruption to your home.
For more details or to arrange the removal of your home charger, please contact JET Charge customer support.
Installing a charger into your home requires a change to your electrical wiring. JET Charge will need to assess the nature and complexity of each installation prior to the install day. Most installations are ‘standard’, but in rare cases, additional electrical works may be required.
Once we have all the necessary information, if any additional electrical works are required, we’ll confirm details with you before proceeding with any work.
Once confirmed, the JET Charge team will contact you to arrange installation on a day that suits you. They will send an SMS reminder 24 hours prior to installation to ensure you’re ready to go!
On the day, they will install the charger and verify together that everything is working as expected.

If you’re currently renting, speak with your landlord to discuss the process around installation and removal. There will be some benefits to the landlord to consider, as by running the wiring to the garage, it future proofs the property to be EV ready in the future as the wiring itself will not be removed.
To get a thorough understanding of your specific installation requirements, JET Charge works to simply complete a remote assessment via a charging form in order to provide a quotation. This avoids the hassle of arranging someone to physically come to your location to assess.
They will do their best to confirm if a Standard Domestic Installation can be performed. To complete the remote assessment, they’ll generally require the following images and information:
– Clear photos of your switchboard and any sub-boards you have at your property, your preferred charger location and the front of your house
– Approximate distance between the switchboard and the charger
– Confirm if your garage/charger location is attached or detached from main house
– Confirm if your property is single or multi-storey
