EV charger installation in Mermaid Waters
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV chargers for Mermaid Waters, 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 Mermaid Waters 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.

Getting to know Mermaid Waters
When surveyor John Oxley landed nearby in 1823 from the cutter HMS Mermaid, the beach picked up the ship's name, and the land behind it became Mermaid Waters. Schooling arrived in one go on 30 January 1979, when both Miami State School and Merrimac State High School opened. Broadbeach Library followed in 2008, opposite Pacific Fair, and the population climbed past 13,000 by 2021.
Lakeside and canal homes usually have open water on one side with no trees or buildings to block the sun, which suits a full roof array, though fixings and inverter placement should allow for the damp air.
