EV charger installation in Sheldon
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV Charger Installation Sheldon: 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 Sheldon we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
The Redlands coast runs from Capalaba and Birkdale through Cleveland and Victoria Point to Redland Bay and the Southern Moreton Bay Islands, with plenty of larger blocks around Mount Cotton and Sheldon. We look after Sheldon and the surrounding suburbs of Mount Cotton, Burbank and Priestdale, so a free on-site measure in 4157 is easy to book.
- Plenty of Sheldon properties are on acreage, which opens up ground-mounted arrays, sheds and larger systems. Rural feeders also see more outages, so battery backup is popular here.

About Sheldon
For a long time this was quiet, mostly empty rural land. It was officially named in 1980, stitched together from pieces of Capalaba and Mount Cotton, and the name most likely comes from a village in Devon, England. Sheldon College, a private Prep to Year 12 school, opened in 1997 and has become the main landmark.
Acreage lots surrounded by eucalypt forest often have big sheds and room for a ground-mounted array clear of tree shade, and a battery helps on rural feeders where outages can take longer to fix.

Call 0449 942 735How much does it cost to install an EV charger?
A 7kW charger is typically $1,000 to $2,300 installed. If your switchboard needs an upgrade, allow another $800 to $2,200. We give a fixed price after a quick check.
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.
