EV charger installation in New Farm
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV chargers for New Farm, 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 New Farm we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Inner Brisbane is full of character: Queenslanders, workers cottages and townhouses on small lots in places like Paddington, West End, New Farm and Bulimba, where neat installs and careful panel layout matter. From New Farm to nearby Hawthorne and Teneriffe, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.
- Many New Farm 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.

Getting to know New Farm
The Turrbal people called this river bend Binkinba. Commandant Patrick Logan set up a new farm here in 1827 for the penal colony, and the name stuck. Samuel Griffith built his house, Merthyr, in 1870, and trams ran from 1885 until 1969. New Farm State School opened in 1901, a marine base operated here during World War II, and infill and gentrification reshaped the suburb from the 1990s.
Most homes here are units, so shared building systems are the main path, while owners of Queenslander and Federation houses should check heritage overlays and neighbouring apartment shade before choosing panel placement.

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.

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