Not sure what Aussie wiring is like but in the UK most houses have a 100amp supply now so 30 really isn't a problem. Plus we have pretty tight regulations on charger installations which means it doesn't add to the load on the rest of the house wiring but is cabled directly back to the incoming feed.
