Why Lutwyche 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 Lutwyche we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.

Brisbane's northside ranges from the grand old homes of Ascot, Hamilton and Clayfield to family suburbs like Aspley, Chermside and Bracken Ridge and the bayside villages of Sandgate and Shorncliffe. Our ev chargers work in Lutwyche also covers neighbouring Wooloowin, Gordon Park and Windsor, all within about 1km.

  • Many Lutwyche homes are character Queenslanders and older workers cottages with corrugated iron roofs. Tin roofs are quick to mount on, and we keep conduit runs neat and out of sight on heritage-style facades.

Lutwyche: a local snapshot

Judge Alfred Lutwyche, sent to Moreton Bay in 1859, bought land here in 1864 for St Andrew's Church of England, finished two years later. The suburb carries his name. An acre was set aside for a School of Arts in 1886, and the Lutwyche Domain estate was mapped in 1889. Trams rattled along Lutwyche Road until 1968, and the busway station opened in June 2012.

In a compact suburb with smaller blocks close to a busy main road, rooftop space is precious, so higher-efficiency panels can help get the most generation from a modest roof.

EV chargers in Lutwyche: questions

Still unsure? Talk to us directly. You will speak with the people who do the work.

Call 0449 942 735

How 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.

Do you install EV chargers in Lutwyche units and townhouses?

Often, yes, subject to body corporate approval and the building supply. We can provide the technical details your body corporate will ask for.

Do you service Lutwyche 4030 and nearby suburbs?

Yes. Lutwyche is part of our Brisbane Northside service area in the Brisbane City Council area, and we regularly work in Wooloowin, Gordon Park, Windsor, Albion. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
