EV charger installation in Newport
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV chargers for Newport, 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 Newport 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. From Newport to nearby Kippa-Ring and Scarborough, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.
- Being close to the water, Newport 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.

Getting to know Newport
Newport began as the Newport Waterways housing estate in the late 1970s, and water first flowed into its canals in 1979. For decades the area was split between Scarborough and Kippa-Ring. An attempt in the 1990s to make it a suburb failed, but Redcliffe City Council tried again in 2006 and Newport was gazetted in August 2008. New canal stages are still being dug to the west.
Waterfront canal homes are often large and newer, with pools and air conditioning, so a bigger array and a battery tend to suit them. Coastal grade fixings help with the salt moisture.

EV chargers in Newport: questions
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 Newport 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.
