EV charger installation in Nathan
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV Charger Installation Nathan: 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 Nathan we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Brisbane's southside covers older post-war suburbs like Annerley, Moorooka and Holland Park, the busy family areas around Sunnybank, Mansfield and Carindale, and newer pockets at Pallara and Forest Lake. We look after Nathan and the surrounding suburbs of Robertson, Mount Gravatt and Salisbury, so a free on-site measure in 4111 is easy to book.

About Nathan
Mount Gravatt Cemetery opened on this land in 1918, and local Aboriginal people continued living in the area into the 1940s. The suburb was formally created in 1967 and named after Sir Matthew Nathan, Governor of Queensland from 1920 to 1926. Its stadium hosted the opening ceremony of the 1982 Commonwealth Games.
With Toohey Forest covering much of the suburb, the few homes here and in neighbouring streets can face tree shading, so panel placement and microinverters deserve careful thought.

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 Nathan 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.
