EV charger installation in Labrador
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
Why Labrador homes choose RS Energy for ev chargers
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 Labrador we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
The central Gold Coast takes in the high-rise strip from Broadbeach to Main Beach, the canal homes of Bundall, Benowa and Isle of Capri, and family suburbs like Ashmore, Nerang and Carrara. Our ev chargers work in Labrador also covers neighbouring Biggera Waters, Southport and Main Beach, all within about 3km.
- Being close to the water, Labrador 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.

Labrador: a local snapshot
In 1878 Robert Muir and John Lennon bought 139 acres here, and Muir is believed to have named the area after a fishery in north-eastern Canada because of the similar stream fishing and the peninsula shape. A hotel went up around 1881 but burned in 1888, while the Grand Hotel at Deepwater Point opened in 1886. Labrador State School began on swampy land in 1921 before moving to Imperial Parade in 1952.
Homes facing the Broadwater cop salty breezes most days, so it pays to pick panels and racking rated for coastal sites and to mount the inverter and battery on a sheltered wall away from direct spray.

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.
