EV charger installation in Thornlands
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV Charger Installation Thornlands: 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 Thornlands we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
The Redlands coast runs from Capalaba and Birkdale through Cleveland and Victoria Point to Redland Bay and the Southern Moreton Bay Islands, with plenty of larger blocks around Mount Cotton and Sheldon. We look after Thornlands and the surrounding suburbs of Cleveland, Victoria Point and Ormiston, so a free on-site measure in 4164 is easy to book.
- Newer homes in Thornlands usually have clean, unshaded roofs and modern switchboards, which keeps installs quick. Estate covenants rarely restrict solar, but we check before we quote.

About Thornlands
Small farmers got their chance here in 1858, when Joseph Clarke gave up his lease over what was then part of the Cleveland district. Around 1900 the holdings of George Thorn, the big local landowner and the man the suburb is named after, were cut up and sold. Settlers planted citrus, bananas and mangoes, and Thornlands State School opened in 1910.
The rural residential lots in the south often have room for a ground-mounted array or a larger shed roof, which can suit households running pumps, workshops or pool equipment through the day.

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.

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.
