EV charger installation in Clayfield
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV chargers for Clayfield, 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 Clayfield we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Brisbane's northside ranges from the grand old homes of Ascot, Hamilton and Clayfield to family suburbs like Aspley, Chermside and Bracken Ridge and the bayside villages of Sandgate and Shorncliffe. From Clayfield to nearby Kalinga and Nundah, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.
- Many Clayfield 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 Clayfield
Fine white-grey clay dug in Albion fed brickworks near Sandgate Road, and that clay gave Clayfield its name. A Baptist church opened in 1874, and estates like Sefton, Isleton and Noble were auctioned from 1885 to 1888. The state school opened in 1895 and became Eagle Junction State School in 1901. St Agatha's, St Rita's College and Clayfield College all opened between 1925 and 1931.
California bungalows and Federation homes often have hipped roofs with several faces, which suits splitting panels east and west to spread generation across the day for families home after school.

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.

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.
