EV charger installation in Rainbow Bay
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV Charger Installation Rainbow Bay: 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 Rainbow Bay we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
The southern Gold Coast stretches from Coolangatta and the beaches of Palm Beach and Burleigh back to Robina, Mudgeeraba and the valleys of Currumbin and Tallebudgera, with everything from beachfront units to acreage. We look after Rainbow Bay and the surrounding suburbs of Kirra, Tweed Heads and Tweed Heads South, so a free on-site measure in 4225 is easy to book.
- Being close to the water, Rainbow Bay gets salt-laden sea breezes. We use corrosion-resistant racking, stainless fixings and panels and inverters rated for coastal sites, and we design to the local wind loading.

About Rainbow Bay
Before 1925 this little bay at the southern end of Coolangatta was unofficially called Shark Bay. The Point Danger Progress Association asked the Coolangatta Town Council for a change, and the new name was approved on 31 May 1925, with signs up by August. It is believed to honour HMS Rainbow, the frigate from which Captain Henry John Rous surveyed Point Danger in 1828.
On the exposed stretch around Point Danger, rooftop systems face strong sea breezes and salt, so wind-rated mounting, marine-grade fixings and inverters installed in sheltered spots are worth insisting on.

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.

Often, yes, subject to body corporate approval and the building supply. We can provide the technical details your body corporate will ask for.
