EV charger installation in North Lakes
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV chargers for North Lakes, 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 North Lakes 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 North Lakes to nearby Dakabin and Mango Hill, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.
- Newer homes in North Lakes usually have clean, unshaded roofs and modern switchboards, which keeps installs quick. Estate covenants rarely restrict solar, but we check before we quote.

Getting to know North Lakes
Before the estate, this land bred police horses from 1891, then became a dairy, a pineapple farm and finally slash pine plantations. Lend Lease flagged a master planned community in 1995, and work began on a 1,000 hectare site in April 1999. Stockland took over Lensworth's share in 2004, and North Lakes was gazetted as its own suburb, separate from Mango Hill, in February 2006.
The original plans called for solar passive homes oriented to the sun, so many North Lakes roofs already face a useful direction. Large family homes with ducted air conditioning also suit bigger systems with a battery.
