EV charger installation in Drewvale
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV chargers for Drewvale, 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 Drewvale we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Brisbane's southside covers older post-war suburbs like Annerley, Moorooka and Holland Park, the busy family areas around Sunnybank, Mansfield and Carindale, and newer pockets at Pallara and Forest Lake. From Drewvale to nearby Browns Plains and Hillcrest, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.

Getting to know Drewvale
The Drew family farmed this ground from the 1870s, and locals called it Drewvale for close to a hundred years before it became official. The Queensland Place Names Board formally named the suburb on 1 November 1971. Residential estates such as Trinity Green have since filled in the former farmland on Brisbane's southern fringe.
Newer estate homes such as those at Trinity Green tend to have modern roofs and switchboards, which keeps panel layout simple and makes adding a battery near the meter box fairly easy.

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.
