EV charger installation in St Lucia
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV chargers for St Lucia, 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 St Lucia 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. From St Lucia to nearby Taringa and Yeronga, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.
- Low-lying pockets of St Lucia sit inside council flood mapping. Where it matters we mount inverters and batteries above the flood planning level and keep isolators easy to reach.

Getting to know St Lucia
Sugar cane covered this river bend in the 1860s, when it was known as Indooroopilly Pocket. In 1882 William Alexander Wilson bought the Coldridge Plantation and renamed it after St Lucia in the West Indies, where he was born. He subdivided it for housing in 1883. The local primary school dates from 1870, though it only took the Ironside name in 1904.
Family homes on the hilly southern streets usually have their own roof to work with, whereas the units and towers up north need a strata conversation. River frontage also makes sensible equipment placement worth a thought.

Still unsure? Talk to us directly. You will speak with the people who do the work.
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.
