EV charger installation in Margate
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
Why Margate 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 Margate we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
North Brisbane and Moreton Bay run from Albany Creek and Strathpine through North Lakes and Narangba to Caboolture and Bribie Island, taking in the Redcliffe Peninsula and acreage around Samford and Dayboro. Our ev chargers work in Margate also covers neighbouring Woody Point, Redcliffe and Clontarf, all within about 2km.
- Being close to the water, Margate 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.

Margate: a local snapshot
Humpybong Provisional School opened in February 1876, making it one of the earliest institutions on the peninsula. Land estates were auctioned in several waves from about 1880 through to 1933, and the Baptist mission church followed in 1936. More recently the suburb has been renewed: the beach boardwalk was finished in 2002, a CBD makeover worth about $6 million wrapped up in 2007, and older Oxley Avenue buildings were replaced from 2019.
With a mix of older homes and new apartments close to the beach, Margate installs often come down to roof space and salt exposure, so coastal rated hardware and careful panel layout both matter.

Can I charge my EV from solar?

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.
