EV charger installation in Newstead
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
Why Newstead homes choose RS Energy for ev chargers
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 Newstead 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. Our ev chargers work in Newstead also covers neighbouring Bowen Hills, Teneriffe and Bulimba, all within about 1km.

Newstead: a local snapshot
Pastoralist Patrick Leslie built Newstead House in 1846, naming it after Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire, and it is now Brisbane's oldest surviving home. Industry later took over, with timber yards, an asbestos works, wharves and woolstores. A gasholder that first went up at Petrie Bight in 1873 still stands from the second gas works, and a rail branch served the area from 1897 to 1990.
Apartment towers and commercial buildings make up most of Newstead, so solar is mostly a body corporate or business decision, and large flat roofs can carry tilted arrays that offset daytime cooling loads.

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.
