EV Charger Installation in Johannesburg
A home EV charger in Johannesburg typically runs R13,000–R15,000 fully installed — 7 kW wall unit, SWA cable, Certificate of Compliance, 12 months aftercare. We handle the body-corp paperwork for sectional title (Sandton, Rosebank, Fourways complexes) at no extra cost. Send four photos of your DB board and parking spot; fixed-price quote in 24 hours.
The four things you're worried about
The honest answers, with Johannesburg numbers
Most Joburgers asking about EVs have the same four worries. Here's the honest version, with City Power numbers — not brochure talk. If your answer still feels uncertain after reading these, send us one WhatsApp and we'll run your specific situation.
“I'll get stranded.”
You won't.
8 out of 10 Joburgers drive under 100 km a day. Every EV sold in SA does 300 km+ on a charge. You'll plug in at home overnight and forget petrol stations exist. Tell us your daily drive and we'll show you how much range you'd have spare.
“Load-shedding will leave me unable to charge.”
This is where it gets good.
Pair your EV with solar and you literally make your own fuel — drive on sunshine, ignore the grid and the petrol price. We design every install to keep you charging when the lights go out. Joburg has had 200+ days clear of load-shedding in 2025–26 anyway.
“It's too expensive.”
The sticker scares people; the maths doesn't.
EVs run at about R0.62/km on the City Power Block 1 tariff (R2.66/kWh) vs R2.40 for petrol. New-EV prices fell 16% in two years (median R790k) and the cheapest sub-R350k BEV is now R339,900. We'll run your real numbers — even if the answer is "wait six months."
“There's nowhere to charge.”
80% of charging happens at home.
Plug in overnight, wake up to a full battery. We install that — fixed price, COC, body-corp paperwork if you're sectional title (and most Joburg apartments are). For the other 20% there's a live map of every working public charger in the metro — Sandton City, Mall of Africa, Hyde Park, Rosebank.
“Very reliable — used them for both home and office. Lots of installers in Joburg that don't know what they're doing; these guys did a good job. Referred my cousin in Cape Town too, same feedback.” — Michael Grant · Google review

Why Johannesburg is different
Three things you won't find on a JHB installer's quote
Johannesburg has the highest dealer density and the cheapest residential tariff in SA. Three things that change a home install.
City Power tariff is prepaid + cheap
Block 1 at R2.66/kWh on prepaid is the cheapest urban tariff in SA. Overnight EV charging makes especially good economic sense in Joburg.
Sectional title is most of our work
~60% of Joburg installs are apartments and clusters. We draft body-corporate motivation at no extra cost and handle the trustees-meeting cadence.
Highest dealer density in SA
BYD Mekor Hyde Park, Volvo Sandton, BMW SMG Bryanston, Mercedes Sandton — within 5 km of each other. Multi-brand test-drive days are easy.
