EV charger installation in Casuarina
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
Why Casuarina 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 Casuarina we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
The Tweed runs from the border at Tweed Heads down the coast to Pottsville and inland along the river to Murwillumbah and Uki, a mix of beach houses, river-flat towns and hinterland acreage. Our ev chargers work in Casuarina also covers neighbouring Kings Forest, Cudgen and Kingscliff, all within about 3km.
- Being close to the water, Casuarina gets salt-laden sea breezes. We use corrosion-resistant racking, stainless fixings and panels and inverters rated for coastal sites, and we design to the local wind loading.
- Newer homes in Casuarina usually have clean, unshaded roofs and modern switchboards, which keeps installs quick. Estate covenants rarely restrict solar, but we check before we quote.

Casuarina: a local snapshot
Casuarina lies on the traditional lands of the Ngandowal and Minyungbal-speaking Bundjalung people. The written history of its development is thin, but it is part of the Tweed Coast, neighbouring Kingscliff, Cabarita Beach, Cudgen, Kings Forest and Tanglewood. It falls under Tweed Shire Council and shares the 2487 postcode with Kingscliff and Chinderah.
Being close to the Pacific, homes in Casuarina face salty onshore air, so marine-grade mounting hardware and panels tested for salt mist are worth asking about when comparing quotes.

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.
