EV charger installation in Coombabah
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV chargers for Coombabah, 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 Coombabah we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
The northern Gold Coast is one of the fastest growing parts of Queensland, from the canals of Runaway Bay and Hope Island to new estates in Coomera, Pimpama and Ormeau and semi-rural blocks around Wongawallan. From Coombabah to nearby Hollywell and Runaway Bay, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.

Getting to know Coombabah
Coombabah Lake and Creek give the suburb its name, from Bundjalung words in the Ngaraangbal dialect meaning place of the wood grubs. Early schools came and went with work crews, including one for public works families in 1887 and one for railway workers' children at Acrobat Creek from 1889 to 1890. The state primary school opened in 1981, the high school in 1986, and council declared the conservation area in 1994.
Houses bordering the wetlands and reserve can pick up shade from tall vegetation, so it is worth mapping the sun path over each roof, and low-lying sites near the lake should keep batteries and inverters well above ground.
