EV charger installation in Cudgen
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV chargers for Cudgen, 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 Cudgen we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
The Tweed runs from the border at Tweed Heads down the coast to Pottsville and inland along the river to Murwillumbah and Uki, a mix of beach houses, river-flat towns and hinterland acreage. From Cudgen to nearby Kings Forest and Casuarina, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.

Getting to know Cudgen
Cudgen takes its name from the Yugambe word kidhin, meaning red clay. The land is traditionally that of the Coodjingburra clan of the Minyungbal people, part of the Yugambeh nation. The name was once also attached to the nearby headland, which is why Kingscliff settled on a different name in 1926 to avoid confusion.
Cudgen is only a short distance from the Kingscliff coast, so even homes away from the beach should consider corrosion-rated rails and fixings, and panels certified for salt mist exposure.

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.
