EV charger installation in Stafford
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV Charger Installation Stafford: 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 Stafford 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. We look after Stafford and the surrounding suburbs of Grange, Alderley and Gordon Park, so a free on-site measure in 4053 is easy to book.

About Stafford
Locals once called this valley Happy Valley. A public push in 1885 and 1886 settled on Stafford, a nod to the English county of Staffordshire, and the state school opened its doors in May 1886. Electric trams reached the area in 1940 and ran until 1968, while the Housing Commission built many homes through the 1940s and 1950s. Gibson's Tannery shut in 1982, and Stafford City Shopping Centre arrived two years later.
Those post-war homes on quarter-acre blocks usually have simple roof lines and plenty of open sky, which makes it easier to fit a decent array without fighting shade from neighbours.

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.
