EV charger installation in Hendra
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
Why Hendra 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 Hendra we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Brisbane's northside ranges from the grand old homes of Ascot, Hamilton and Clayfield to family suburbs like Aspley, Chermside and Bracken Ridge and the bayside villages of Sandgate and Shorncliffe. Our ev chargers work in Hendra also covers neighbouring Clayfield, Ascot and Eagle Farm, all within about 2km.
- Many Hendra homes are character Queenslanders and older workers cottages with corrugated iron roofs. Tin roofs are quick to mount on, and we keep conduit runs neat and out of sight on heritage-style facades.

Hendra: a local snapshot
Farmers here once grew citrus, grapes and pineapples and ran dairies, spreading out from Nundah. A school opened in 1864 as Eagle Farm State School, renamed Hendra in 1908. The suburb's name came from the railway station, named in 1882, and is a Cornish word for an old hamlet. Subdivisions were auctioned in 1887, 1889 and 1926, when the area belonged to the Shire of Toombul.
With most homes being detached houses on their own blocks, there is usually room for a full-sized array, though mature jacarandas and poincianas can shade lower roofs during parts of the day.

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.
