EV Charger Installation Coolangatta: 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 Coolangatta 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. We look after Coolangatta and the surrounding suburbs of Bilinga, Tweed Heads and Kirra, so a free on-site measure in 4225 is easy to book.
- Being close to the water, Coolangatta 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.

About Coolangatta
Europeans were here from at least 1828, first at a convict station and then as red cedar getters. Surveyor Henry Schneider laid out the township in 1883, naming it after the schooner Coolangatta, wrecked on the beach in August 1846, and land sold in March 1884. The railway's arrival in 1903 turned it into a holiday town, and it became the Town of Coolangatta in 1914.
As a holiday and retirement town right on the surf, Coolangatta homes need salt-rated panels and fixings, and retirees at home during the day can use much of their solar output directly.

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.
