EV charger installation in Hope Island
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV chargers for Hope Island, 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 Hope Island 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. From Hope Island to nearby Sanctuary Cove and Coomera, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.

Getting to know Hope Island
Captain Louis Hope came to Moreton Bay in 1848 and spent two decades building up sugar plantations. In 1867 he was granted this island, then known by its Indigenous name Boykambil, for his work on Queensland's sugar industry. The Rockholm plantation was largely built up by the Grimes family, and by the 1900s the land had passed to the Sheehan and Davidson families.
Resort-style homes around the golf courses and marinas are often large, with pools and big cooling loads, and estate design rules may apply, so it pays to check guidelines and use coastal-rated hardware near the water.

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.
