EV charger installation in Tanah Merah
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
Why Tanah Merah 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 Tanah Merah we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.

Tanah Merah: a local snapshot
Tanah Merah was first counted as part of Slacks Creek. The McBride family, who had come to Brisbane from Penang in Malaysia, bought the land and gave it its name, and the Place Names Board made it official in 1971. The biggest change came between 2001 and 2006, when land west of Drews Road was turned into a housing estate and the population grew sharply.
Homes on the hill catch good sun but may face in many directions, while estate houses west of Drews Road, built in the early 2000s, often have simple roofs well suited to a straightforward array.

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.
