EV charger installation in Sandgate
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
Why Sandgate 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 Sandgate we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Brisbane's northside ranges from the grand old homes of Ascot, Hamilton and Clayfield to family suburbs like Aspley, Chermside and Bracken Ridge and the bayside villages of Sandgate and Shorncliffe. Our ev chargers work in Sandgate also covers neighbouring Shorncliffe, Deagon and Brighton, all within about 3km.
- Being close to the water, Sandgate 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.
- Many Sandgate homes are character Queenslanders and older workers cottages with corrugated iron roofs. Tin roofs are quick to mount on, and we keep conduit runs neat and out of sight on heritage-style facades.

Sandgate: a local snapshot
Early British settlers knew this coast as Cabbage Tree Creek, but surveyor James Burnett named it Sandgate after the town in Kent. Land opened up in November 1853 and a seaside village grew. Coaches linked it to Brisbane from 1874, it became a borough in 1880, and the 1882 railway cut the trip to under half an hour. It was a favourite holiday spot before joining Brisbane in 1925.
Older seaside homes close to Bramble Bay deal with salty air, so corrosion-resistant mounting gear and inverters rated for coastal conditions help a system last.
