EV charger installation in Seventeen Mile Rocks
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV Charger Installation Seventeen Mile Rocks: 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 Seventeen Mile Rocks 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 Seventeen Mile Rocks and the surrounding suburbs of Sinnamon Park, Oxley and Darra, so a free on-site measure in 4073 is easy to book.

About Seventeen Mile Rocks
On 3 December 1823 John Oxley noted rocks in the river 17 miles from its mouth, and the name stuck. A Bible Christian chapel opened in 1869 and a school around 1874. Workers removed the last of the rocks between 1960 and 1966 to widen the channel. The Western Drive-In ran from 1966 to 1988 before housing took its place.
Newer estate homes generally have modern roofs and wiring that make solar and battery installs straightforward, while properties near the river or Jindalee Creek should keep equipment above likely flood levels.
