EV Charger Installation Chevron Island: 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 Chevron Island we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
The central Gold Coast takes in the high-rise strip from Broadbeach to Main Beach, the canal homes of Bundall, Benowa and Isle of Capri, and family suburbs like Ashmore, Nerang and Carrara. We look after Chevron Island and the surrounding suburbs of Surfers Paradise, Isle of Capri and Bundall, so a free on-site measure in 4217 is easy to book.

About Chevron Island
Before the canal era this was Goat Island, a natural island in the Nerang River where a cattle farm ran alongside a large mob of goats. It was a landing for barges and ferries crossing to Cavill Avenue. In the 1950s sand fill was pumped in and the island was separated from what is now the HOTA site, as river dredging opened channels and created land for housing.
Many Chevron Island homes are units and townhouses on low river land, so solar often needs body corporate approval, and any inverter or battery should be mounted well clear of the ground.

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.
