EV charger installation in Bowen Hills
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
Why Bowen Hills 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 Bowen Hills we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Inner Brisbane is full of character: Queenslanders, workers cottages and townhouses on small lots in places like Paddington, West End, New Farm and Bulimba, where neat installs and careful panel layout matter. Our ev chargers work in Bowen Hills also covers neighbouring Newstead, Windsor and Albion, all within about 1km.

Bowen Hills: a local snapshot
Named after Queensland Governor Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the area was a postal district by 1866. The Acclimatisation Society had already taken over Bowen Park in 1862. Settlement picked up in the 1870s, with a post office in 1878 and the railway in 1882. Queensland Newspapers built its headquarters here in the 1960s, and the 2010s brought a wave of new apartments and shops.
Newer apartment complexes and big commercial roofs make up much of Bowen Hills, so shared solar systems and daytime business use are the natural fit, rather than standard single house installs.

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.
