EV charger installation in Jacobs Well
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV chargers for Jacobs Well, 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 Jacobs Well 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 Jacobs Well to nearby Steiglitz and Norwell, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.
- Being close to the water, Jacobs Well 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.

Getting to know Jacobs Well
In the late 1800s this was part of Pimpama Island, a farming district cut off in the wet season by lagoons and swamps. The fertile, flood-prone soil grew sugarcane. The local state school ran from 1920 until 3 May 1974. More recently the Calypso Bay canal estate was built, and in February 2020 record rain flooded it.
On low delta land that has flooded before, Jacobs Well homes should keep inverters and batteries mounted high and well away from flood-prone ground, and the salty bay air calls for corrosion-resistant fixings.

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.
