EV charger installation in South Brisbane
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
Why South Brisbane 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 South Brisbane we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Inner Brisbane is full of character: Queenslanders, workers cottages and townhouses on small lots in places like Paddington, West End, New Farm and Bulimba, where neat installs and careful panel layout matter. Our ev chargers work in South Brisbane also covers neighbouring West End, Highgate Hill and Milton, all within about 1km.

South Brisbane: a local snapshot
The name simply marked the south side of the river during the penal colony years. Land sales started in 1843 and wharves soon lined the bank. The Victoria Bridge arrived in 1874, a dry dock in 1881 and the southern railway terminus in 1884, sparking a building boom. South Brisbane was its own city from 1903 until 1925, and Expo 88 later transformed the old riverfront into parkland.
Most residents live in apartments, so solar here usually means shared rooftop systems decided by body corporates, where daytime common area loads like lifts and pumps can soak up generation well.

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.
