EV charger installation in Kippa-Ring
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV chargers for Kippa-Ring, 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 Kippa-Ring we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.

Getting to know Kippa-Ring
The unusual name joins kippa, a Kabi word for a young uninitiated man, with ring, a nod to a bora ring. Farms and small businesses filled the area until the 1950s and 1960s. Houses then spread across it through the 1960s and 1970s, the state school opened in 1960, and the suburb was formally created in 1971. Swampy land to the north, once called Kippering Flats, became part of the Newport canals.
Many homes here date from the 1960s and 1970s, so checking the roof and switchboard before adding panels is common sense, and the upgrade can be a good time to make room for a battery.
