EV charger installation in Northgate
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
Why Northgate 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 Northgate we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Brisbane's northside ranges from the grand old homes of Ascot, Hamilton and Clayfield to family suburbs like Aspley, Chermside and Bracken Ridge and the bayside villages of Sandgate and Shorncliffe.

Northgate: a local snapshot
A railway junction gave this suburb its name. In 1890 the Railways Department renamed North Coast Junction station Northgate, joining North Coast with the gate from Sandgate. The School of Arts opened in 1922 and a Methodist church in 1928. In 1947 Golden Circle opened its pineapple cannery on Earnshaw Road, and the state school on Amelia Street welcomed its first pupils in January 1959.
Homes near the rail lines and factories usually sit on flat suburban blocks with few tall trees, which tends to mean clear, unshaded roofs and steady generation through the day.

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.
