EV charger installation in Pacific Pines
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV chargers for Pacific Pines, 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 Pacific Pines 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. From Pacific Pines to nearby Gaven and Helensvale, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.
- Newer homes in Pacific Pines 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 Pacific Pines
Pacific Pines is a planned suburb from the ground up. In 1990 Stockland bought about 800 hectares and drew up a layout for 5,800 house lots, with the name put forward by the developer. It was first gazetted as part of Gaven on 9 September 1994 and became its own suburb on 7 February 2003. Schools arrived steadily, starting with the state high school in 2000.
Pacific Pines was laid out as a planned estate from 1990, so many homes are similar in age and design, which often means clear, regular roof areas that suit a well-sized array with a battery for busy family evenings.

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.

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.
