EV charger installation in Bulimba
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV chargers for Bulimba, 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 Bulimba 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. From Bulimba to nearby Balmoral and Teneriffe, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.
- Many Bulimba 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 Bulimba
Farming began here in the 1820s, when the district was called Toogoolawah. Bulimba reportedly comes from a Yugarapul word for place of the magpie lark. Churches went up in 1862 and 1866, and Bulimba Mixed School opened in July 1866. Land boom subdivisions followed in the 1880s, Jamieson Park was created in 1904 and the Norman R Wright and Sons shipyard began operating in the 1930s.
Leafy streets of traditional Queenslanders mean tin roofs that suit panels, though mature street trees can shade parts of a roof, so panel placement should follow where the sun actually lands through the year.

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.
