EV charger installation in Rochedale
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
Why Rochedale homes choose RS Energy for ev chargers
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 Rochedale 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. Our ev chargers work in Rochedale also covers neighbouring Wishart, Eight Mile Plains and Mackenzie, all within about 3km.
- Newer homes in Rochedale usually have clean, unshaded roofs and modern switchboards, which keeps installs quick. Estate covenants rarely restrict solar, but we check before we quote.

Rochedale: a local snapshot
The Roche family came out from Ireland in 1860, started farming in 1865 and built a homestead called Rochedale in 1868, which gave the suburb its name. The state school opened in 1931 and a scout group formed in 1956. St Peter's Catholic Primary (1976), Redeemer Lutheran College (1980) and Rochedale State High (1983) followed.
The Metro bus depot's 1 MW array shows how well this area's roofs catch the sun, and the same open conditions suit household systems sized for family homes with daytime cooling loads.

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.
