EV charger installation in Bardon
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV chargers for Bardon, planned around your home
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 Bardon we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Brisbane's west takes in leafy riverside suburbs like Indooroopilly, Kenmore and Chapel Hill, the Centenary suburbs, and hillier, tree-lined streets around The Gap, Ashgrove and Ferny Grove where shading needs careful planning. From Bardon to nearby Auchenflower and Ashgrove, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.
- Many Bardon 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.

Getting to know Bardon
Upper Paddington was the original name until the Ithaca Town Council switched to Bardon in 1925. That name came from a villa Joshua Jeays built in 1863, itself named for Bardon Hill in Leicestershire. Estates opened up from 1887 through the 1920s, Ithaca Creek State School dates from 1885, and trams climbed to Rainworth in 1930 and on to Bardon in 1937.
Ridges and deep gullies mean one house can get full sun while the next sits in shadow for hours, so roof direction and slope count. The many tin-roofed Queenslanders are generally easy to mount panels on.

EV chargers in Bardon: 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.
