EV charger installation in Parkinson
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV chargers for Parkinson, 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 Parkinson we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Brisbane's southside covers older post-war suburbs like Annerley, Moorooka and Holland Park, the busy family areas around Sunnybank, Mansfield and Carindale, and newer pockets at Pallara and Forest Lake. From Parkinson to nearby Calamvale and Drewvale, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.

Getting to know Parkinson
Bushland covered this area for many years. Named on 12 June 1972 after railway engineer Henry Parkinson, it saw housing begin in the mid-1990s, with the north mostly low-density homes by 2003 and the last residential stages done in 2008. An industrial estate opened in the south-east corner in 2009. A severe hailstorm in October 2011 collapsed roofs and caused flash flooding.
The 2011 hailstorm that collapsed roofs here is a reminder to choose panels with strong hail ratings and to check that home insurance covers rooftop solar and any battery.

Still unsure? Talk to us directly. You will speak with the people who do the work.
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.
Do you install EV chargers in Parkinson units and townhouses?
Often, yes, subject to body corporate approval and the building supply. We can provide the technical details your body corporate will ask for.
