EV charger installation in The Gap
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
Why The Gap 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 The Gap 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. Our ev chargers work in The Gap also covers neighbouring Upper Kedron, Keperra and Enoggera, all within about 4km.

The Gap: a local snapshot
Turrbal people lived in this once heavily forested valley. Timber cutters came first, then farmers, with a crown lease in 1851 and freehold sales from 1858. Nearby Enoggera Dam was built in 1866 to supply Brisbane. After World War I, land was split into small farms for returned soldiers, some farmed until the 1980s, and the 800 lot Royal Park Estate was advertised in 1927.
A valley lined with bushland and big trees means morning or afternoon sun can be cut short on some roofs, so a shading check matters. The Gap's wide streets of family homes otherwise suit standard rooftop systems.

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.
