EV charger installation in Forestdale
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
Why Forestdale 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 Forestdale we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Logan blends established suburbs such as Springwood, Shailer Park and Browns Plains with new communities at Yarrabilba, Park Ridge and Logan Reserve, plus acreage through Jimboomba, Greenbank and Munruben.

Forestdale: a local snapshot
Much of this land belonged to farmer and publican George Stretton in 1927, and nothing much happened until Paradise Road was cut as a dirt track in 1946. Farming started in the 1970s, most houses went up in the 1980s, and it split from Browns Plains as its own suburb in 1987. Developers chose the name, and plenty of streets carry Robin Hood characters.
With most houses built during the 1980s, roof sheeting and switchboards may be getting on in years, so checking both before adding panels or a battery saves headaches later.

Call 0449 942 735How much does it cost to install an EV charger?

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.
