EV chargers for Browns Plains, 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 Browns Plains we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.

Getting to know Browns Plains
Browns Plains was a recognised place name by 1840, and Cobb and Co coaches were passing through by 1863. A small school opened around 1878 but shut in 1902 during drought. Tobacco was the main crop until the 1950s. Growth picked up in the 1980s, with new schools in 1982, 1983 and 1985, and Grand Plaza opened in 1994 before a $55 million expansion in 2006.
Former tobacco country on flat ground means most homes get clear sun across the roof, and families with long air conditioning hours can use a battery to stretch daytime solar into the evening.

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.
