EV charger installation in Hollywell
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV Charger Installation Hollywell: 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 Hollywell we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
The northern Gold Coast is one of the fastest growing parts of Queensland, from the canals of Runaway Bay and Hope Island to new estates in Coomera, Pimpama and Ormeau and semi-rural blocks around Wongawallan. We look after Hollywell and the surrounding suburbs of Paradise Point, Coombabah and Runaway Bay, so a free on-site measure in 4216 is easy to book.
- Being close to the water, Hollywell gets salt-laden sea breezes. We use corrosion-resistant racking, stainless fixings and panels and inverters rated for coastal sites, and we design to the local wind loading.

About Hollywell
Joseph Wood Proud, mayor of Southport from 1934 to 1948, named his home here after his old house in England, and the suburb took the same name. A 1926 map shows the district as Pine Ridge, a name still carried by the conservation park and Pine Ridge Road. Today about 2,930 people live in this small Broadwater suburb of 2.9 km².
Homes near the Broadwater deal with salt in the air, and those backing onto the conservation park may have taller trees close by, so both corrosion-rated gear and a proper shade check are worth including.
