EV charger installation in Merrimac
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV Charger Installation Merrimac: local, honest, done right
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 Merrimac we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
The southern Gold Coast stretches from Coolangatta and the beaches of Palm Beach and Burleigh back to Robina, Mudgeeraba and the valleys of Currumbin and Tallebudgera, with everything from beachfront units to acreage. We look after Merrimac and the surrounding suburbs of Robina, Clear Island Waters and Worongary, so a free on-site measure in 4226 is easy to book.

About Merrimac
Thomas Blacket Stephens bought 6,980 acres here in 1873, and his son William and the family dug drains through the swampy ground so it could carry dairy cows, sheep, cattle and sugarcane. Ann Stephens gave the property its name, though nobody is sure why. In 1908 a Victorian syndicate bought the land and carved it into small farms, sold as the Stephens Estate. A state school followed on 25 July 1917.
Because Merrimac sits on low floodplain land, it pays to mount inverters and battery units well above ground level and away from spots that collect water, which is a simple step that protects the gear long term.

Still unsure? Talk to us directly. You will speak with the people who do the work.
Call 0449 942 735How 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 Merrimac 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.
