EV charger installation in Sherwood
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV Charger Installation Sherwood: 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 Sherwood 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. We look after Sherwood and the surrounding suburbs of Fig Tree Pocket, Graceville and Corinda, so a free on-site measure in 4075 is easy to book.
- Many Sherwood 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.

About Sherwood
West Oxley State School opened in 1867 and took the Sherwood name in 1878. Estate blocks were auctioned in 1885 and 1888, more sites near the station followed in 1928, and the Shire of Sherwood existed from 1903 until it joined Brisbane in 1925. Floods have left their mark more than once, most notably in 1931, 2011 and 2022.
Riverside streets that flooded in 2011 and 2022 are a reminder to mount batteries and inverters high, and a battery with backup can keep the fridge and lights on during storm outages.

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.

Often, yes, subject to body corporate approval and the building supply. We can provide the technical details your body corporate will ask for.
