EV charger installation in Rothwell
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
Why Rothwell 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 Rothwell we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
North Brisbane and Moreton Bay run from Albany Creek and Strathpine through North Lakes and Narangba to Caboolture and Bribie Island, taking in the Redcliffe Peninsula and acreage around Samford and Dayboro.

Rothwell: a local snapshot
The suburb is named after Thomas James Rothwell, president of the Royal Automobile Club of Queensland, who in 1921 proposed the tree lined memorial drive that became Anzac Avenue. A monument to him went up in 1933. An 1880s estate called the Isle of Man was offered but never sold. Rothwell was officially named in July 1970, and Grace Lutheran College moved here in 1980, followed by Mueller College in 1990.
Rothwell is one of the few flood prone spots on the peninsula, so homes near Saltwater Creek should mount inverters and batteries well above ground level and plan cabling with that in mind.
