EV charger installation in Ekibin
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
Why Ekibin homes choose RS Energy for ev chargers
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 Ekibin 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. Our ev chargers work in Ekibin also covers neighbouring Annerley, Tarragindi and Greenslopes, all within about 1km.

Ekibin: a local snapshot
Ekibin no longer has its own suburb article and is now treated as part of Tarragindi. The name goes back to a man from the Loyalty Islands who was brought to Queensland in the late 1800s, worked for the Foote family of Ipswich and cleared land on a hill near Sandy Creek. During World War II a field hospital called Ekibin Hospital operated here, remembered today by a memorial park on Cracknell Road.
With homes spread across a valley floor and up the slopes of Wellers Hill and Tarragindi Hill, roof direction and shading from neighbouring ridges and Toohey Forest trees vary a lot from street to street, so a proper site check matters.

Still unsure? Talk to us directly. You will speak with the people who do the work.
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.
Do you install EV chargers in Ekibin units and townhouses?
Often, yes, subject to body corporate approval and the building supply. We can provide the technical details your body corporate will ask for.
