EV charger installation in Ormeau Hills
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV Charger Installation Ormeau Hills: local, honest, done right
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 Ormeau Hills we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
The northern Gold Coast is one of the fastest growing parts of Queensland, from the canals of Runaway Bay and Hope Island to new estates in Coomera, Pimpama and Ormeau and semi-rural blocks around Wongawallan. We look after Ormeau Hills and the surrounding suburbs of Kingsholme, Ormeau and Willow Vale, so a free on-site measure in 4208 is easy to book.
- Newer homes in Ormeau Hills usually have clean, unshaded roofs and modern switchboards, which keeps installs quick. Estate covenants rarely restrict solar, but we check before we quote.

About Ormeau Hills
Ormeau Hills borrows its name from neighbouring Ormeau, itself named after Major Alexander Jenyns Boyd's 1860s estate. Growth here has been fast and recent. The census counted just 1,212 people in 2011, then 3,148 in 2016 and 4,521 by 2021, as new streets spread across the lower eastern side of the locality.
Homes on the hillier middle and western slopes can lose sun to the hillside at certain times of day, so roof orientation and shading need a proper look, while the flatter eastern estates usually make for simpler installs.

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.
