EV charger installation in Gaythorne
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV chargers for Gaythorne, 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 Gaythorne we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Brisbane's west takes in leafy riverside suburbs like Indooroopilly, Kenmore and Chapel Hill, the Centenary suburbs, and hillier, tree-lined streets around The Gap, Ashgrove and Ferny Grove where shading needs careful planning. From Gaythorne to nearby Enoggera and Mitchelton, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.

Getting to know Gaythorne
Gaythorne takes its name from a property belonging to Howard Bliss. Housing lots in the Rangeview Estate were auctioned in 1919, while the area was still counted as Enoggera, with more land re-offered in 1921 and 170 lots of Bellevue Park Estate in 1924. A Presbyterian church went up in 1915. The suburb was split off from Enoggera in the late 1990s.
Queenslanders with corrugated iron roofs are well suited to rooftop panels, though homes on the slope of Enoggera Hill can lose late sun depending on aspect, so placement should be planned with real shade in mind.

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.

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.
