EV charger installation in Riverhills
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV Charger Installation Riverhills: 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 Riverhills we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Brisbane's west takes in leafy riverside suburbs like Indooroopilly, Kenmore and Chapel Hill, the Centenary suburbs, and hillier, tree-lined streets around The Gap, Ashgrove and Ferny Grove where shading needs careful planning. We look after Riverhills and the surrounding suburbs of Westlake, Middle Park and Pinjarra Hills, so a free on-site measure in 4074 is easy to book.

About Riverhills
Originally farmland in the Wolston Estate sale of 1901, the area was swept into LJ Hooker's Centenary Project in 1959. The developer suggested the Riverhills name in 1972 to describe the landscape, and the Queensland Place Names Board approved it in 1973. Low ground near the creeks went under in 2011, and the Newcomb Park pontoon had to be rebuilt after the 2022 flood.
Homes on the upper slopes often get good sun, while low-lying streets near the creeks that flooded in 2011 should keep inverters and batteries mounted high and away from potential floodwater.

Can I charge my EV from solar?

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.
