EV charger installation in Capalaba
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV Charger Installation Capalaba: local, honest, done right
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 Capalaba we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
The Redlands coast runs from Capalaba and Birkdale through Cleveland and Victoria Point to Redland Bay and the Southern Moreton Bay Islands, with plenty of larger blocks around Mount Cotton and Sheldon. We look after Capalaba and the surrounding suburbs of Alexandra Hills, Chandler and Thorneside, so a free on-site measure in 4157 is easy to book.

About Capalaba
Farmers, timber cutters and sawmillers moved in during the 1850s, crossing Tingalpa Creek at a ford surveyor James Warner noted in 1850, later known as The Rocks Crossing. The town was surveyed as Tingalpa in 1863 and renamed Capalaba in 1927, believed to come from a Yugarabul word for the ringtail possum. The Leslie Harrison Dam, finished in 1968, set off rapid growth in the 1970s.
Housing here mixes with bushland and big gum trees, so shading from tall eucalypts is worth checking on each roof face before deciding panel placement or whether microinverters or optimisers are worth it.

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.
