EV charger installation in Cleveland
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV chargers for Cleveland, 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 Cleveland 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. From Cleveland to nearby Ormiston and Thornlands, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.
- Being close to the water, Cleveland 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.

Getting to know Cleveland
Surveyed in 1840 and pitched as a possible seaport in 1841, Cleveland was proclaimed a township in December 1850. A navigation beacon went up on Cleveland Point in 1847, the first school and mail service came in 1861, and trains reached Brisbane in 1889. Rail stopped in 1960 and returned about twenty years later. Raby Bay canal estate works began in 1983.
Raby Bay canal homes and waterfront streets cop salty sea air off Moreton Bay, so marine-rated mounting gear and periodic panel washing help a system hold its output over the years.

Still unsure? Talk to us directly. You will speak with the people who do the work.
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.

Often, yes, subject to body corporate approval and the building supply. We can provide the technical details your body corporate will ask for.
