EV charger installation in Algester
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
Why Algester 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 Algester we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Brisbane's southside covers older post-war suburbs like Annerley, Moorooka and Holland Park, the busy family areas around Sunnybank, Mansfield and Carindale, and newer pockets at Pallara and Forest Lake. Our ev chargers work in Algester also covers neighbouring Pallara, Sunnybank Hills and Calamvale, all within about 2km.

Algester: a local snapshot
In the early 1970s this was untouched bushland. Leighton Properties had planned a Ridgewood Heights estate in 1968, the first house went up in the early 1970s and building took off mid-decade. The name traces back to Alcester Road, named in the 1920s by subdivider F. S. Brecknell after a place near Birmingham, then misspelt over time. It became official in 1972.
Homes from the mid-1970s building wave can have older roofs and switchboards, so it is worth checking both, while newer infill houses are generally ready for panels and a battery from day one.

EV chargers in Algester: questions
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.

Often, yes, subject to body corporate approval and the building supply. We can provide the technical details your body corporate will ask for.
