EV charger installation in Clear Island Waters
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV chargers for Clear Island Waters, 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 Clear Island Waters we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
The southern Gold Coast stretches from Coolangatta and the beaches of Palm Beach and Burleigh back to Robina, Mudgeeraba and the valleys of Currumbin and Tallebudgera, with everything from beachfront units to acreage.

Getting to know Clear Island Waters
Dairy farms and wetlands once covered this ground. In 1967 a group of golfers paid $43,240 for Bruce Small's 92-acre Cypress Gardens site and built the Surfers Paradise Golf Club. Italian families founded the Italo-Australian Club in 1976, which drew more of their community to the area. Official naming and boundaries came on 25 February 1989, and the canal estates of Island Quay, Rhode Island and Santa Cruz were approved in the early 1990s.
Canal-front homes catch moist, salty air off the water, so choosing panels, frames and fixings rated for coastal conditions and keeping the inverter sheltered helps a system last.
