AMA: I’m a QLD electrician — ask me about EVs, home charging, switchboards & electrical safety [10:30am AEST 18/08]
Hi r/AustralianEV!
I’m John Ricca from Jaric Air Conditioning and Electrical, a licensed electrical and air conditioning company based in South East Queensland. We install home EV chargers and help customers work out what their car, home and switchboard actually need before they buy.
We’re hosting an AMA on Tuesday 18 August at 10:30am AEST, where I’ll be here to answer your questions about:
- Choosing the right home EV charger: 7kW vs 11kW vs 22kW
- Switchboards, safety checks and whether your home is EV-ready
- Solar charging, off-peak tariffs and the cheapest way to charge at home
- Electrical safety
- General electrical questions
- Anything else you’ve been wondering about
We’re happy to answer both basic and technical questions — from “do I really need a wall charger?” through to switchboard capacity, solar charging, tariffs and QLD installation requirements.
This isn’t a sales pitch. We’re here to share practical electrical advice and help clear up some of the confusion around home EV charging. For anything specific to your own property, a licensed electrician would still need to inspect it properly.
Drop your questions below ahead of time and we’ll start answering them when the AMA begins at 10:30am.
Looking forward to chatting with you all.
