EV charger installation in East Brisbane
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV Charger Installation East Brisbane: 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 East Brisbane we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Inner Brisbane is full of character: Queenslanders, workers cottages and townhouses on small lots in places like Paddington, West End, New Farm and Bulimba, where neat installs and careful panel layout matter. We look after East Brisbane and the surrounding suburbs of Norman Park, New Farm and Hawthorne, so a free on-site measure in 4169 is easy to book.
- Many East Brisbane homes are character Queenslanders and older workers cottages with corrugated iron roofs. Tin roofs are quick to mount on, and we keep conduit runs neat and out of sight on heritage-style facades.

About East Brisbane
Reverend Thomas Mowbray purchased 13 acres in 1851, land later developed as Mowbraytown. A bridge went over the mouth of Norman Creek in 1855, and the property boom of the 1880s brought major housing estates such as Heathfield in 1886. The state school opened in 1899, Mowbray Park was set aside in 1904 and the school now called Anglican Church Grammar arrived in 1912.
Original Queenslanders with corrugated iron roofs are common here and usually take panels without fuss, though verandah roofs and big old trees near the river can affect where the array goes.

Can I charge my EV from solar?
