EV charger installation in Gumdale
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
Why Gumdale 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 Gumdale 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 Gumdale also covers neighbouring Wakerley, Chandler and Ransome, all within about 3km.

Gumdale: a local snapshot
First called Grassdale after the grass trees growing in the area, the district was opened up when the Grassdale Land Company auctioned 42 lots in 1885. A state school followed in 1935 and a public hall in 1937. Plans for a post office in 1942 forced a name change to Gumdale, to avoid confusion with Grassdale in South Australia.
Half acre to full acre lots leave room for ground mounted arrays, sheds with their own panels and big batteries, which suits households running pools, pumps and workshops on their acreage.

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 Gumdale 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.
