EV charger installation in Albion
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
Why Albion homes choose RS Energy for ev chargers
A standard power point adds only about 10km of range an hour. A dedicated 7kW wall charger is around four times faster, and a solar-aware charger can soak up your surplus solar during the day instead of exporting it for a few cents.
We check your switchboard and main supply, recommend single or three phase charging, and install the charger neatly where your car actually parks. In Albion we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Brisbane's northside ranges from the grand old homes of Ascot, Hamilton and Clayfield to family suburbs like Aspley, Chermside and Bracken Ridge and the bayside villages of Sandgate and Shorncliffe. Our ev chargers work in Albion also covers neighbouring Wooloowin, Windsor and Lutwyche, all within about 1km.
- Many Albion homes are character Queenslanders and older workers cottages with corrugated iron roofs. Tin roofs are quick to mount on, and we keep conduit runs neat and out of sight on heritage-style facades.

Albion: a local snapshot
John Petrie opened a quarry here in 1860, and its pale rock face reminded publican Thomas Hayseldon of England's white cliffs, so he called his pub the Albion Hotel. The name stuck. Estates went to auction through the 1880s, a Chinese temple was built on Higgs Street in 1885 to 1886, the Breakfast Creek Hotel opened in 1890 and Albion Park Racecourse followed in 1895.
Small workers' cottages near Breakfast Creek often have compact roofs, so it pays to size a system to daytime use and consider where a battery can sit safely above any flood-prone ground.

Still unsure? Talk to us directly. You will speak with the people who do the work.
Call 0449 942 735How much does it cost to install an EV charger?
A 7kW charger is typically $1,000 to $2,300 installed. If your switchboard needs an upgrade, allow another $800 to $2,200. We give a fixed price after a quick check.
Can I charge my EV from solar?
Yes. A solar-aware charger adjusts its charging speed to match your surplus solar, so you use your own power instead of exporting it. It works best if the car is home during the day.
Do I need three phase power?
No. Most homes are well served by a 7kW single phase charger, which comfortably fills most cars overnight. Three phase allows 11kW to 22kW if your home already has it.
Do you install EV chargers in Albion units and townhouses?
Often, yes, subject to body corporate approval and the building supply. We can provide the technical details your body corporate will ask for.
