EV charger installation in Shorncliffe
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV chargers for Shorncliffe, planned around your home
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 Shorncliffe 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. From Shorncliffe to nearby Sandgate and Deagon, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.
- Being close to the water, Shorncliffe 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 Shorncliffe 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.

Getting to know Shorncliffe
The Aboriginal name for this spot is Warra. Surveyor James Burnett thought the cliffs looked like those at Shorncliffe Army Camp in Kent, and named them to match. William Deagon built the first pier in 1879, and St Nicolas Anglican Church opened a year later. Sandgate Golf Club formed in 1921, St Patrick's College arrived in 1952, and a new pier replaced the old one in 2016.
Heritage homes on the cliffs above the bay need careful panel placement and marine-grade hardware, since salt air and exposure to bay winds are part of everyday life here.
