EV charger installation in Herston
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV Charger Installation Herston: local, honest, done right
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 Herston we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Inner Brisbane is full of character: Queenslanders, workers cottages and townhouses on small lots in places like Paddington, West End, New Farm and Bulimba, where neat installs and careful panel layout matter. We look after Herston and the surrounding suburbs of Wilston, Newmarket and Kelvin Grove, so a free on-site measure in 4006 is easy to book.
- Many Herston 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.

About Herston
Europeans arrived in the 1850s. Sir Robert Herbert and John Bramston combined their surnames to name their farmhouse Herston, and the suburb kept the name. Churches went up through the 1920s, and trolleybuses ran from 1953 to 1968. When the Royal Children's Hospital closed in 2014, its land became the Herston Quarter, declared a Priority Development Area in 2016.
Homes in the residential pockets sit close to large hospital and redevelopment buildings, so checking for shade from taller neighbours comes first, with daytime heavy households getting the best return from rooftop panels.

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.
