EV charger installation in Hemmant
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV chargers for Hemmant, 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 Hemmant we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Brisbane's bayside east, from Wynnum and Manly through Tingalpa and Wakerley, mixes breezy bayfront homes with quieter family streets, and salt air near the water is a real design consideration. From Hemmant to nearby Lindum and Pinkenba, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.

Getting to know Hemmant
Farmers bought land here from 1858 for fruit, vegetables and, in the early 1860s, sugar cane with its own mills. Part of the district was once called Doughboy Creek. The suburb now honours William Hemmant, the colonial treasurer who represented Bulimba from 1873 to 1876. An aquarium opened in 1889 with a 684 lot estate, and the Hemmant Park subdivision followed in 1924.
With the river and Bulimba Creek on two sides, it makes sense to mount inverters and batteries up off the floor where possible, and to keep flood planning in mind when choosing equipment locations.

EV chargers in Hemmant: questions
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.

Often, yes, subject to body corporate approval and the building supply. We can provide the technical details your body corporate will ask for.
