EV charger installation in Tingalpa
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV chargers for Tingalpa, 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 Tingalpa we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Brisbane's bayside east, from Wynnum and Manly through Tingalpa and Wakerley, mixes breezy bayfront homes with quieter family streets, and salt air near the water is a real design consideration. From Tingalpa to nearby Hemmant and Wynnum West, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.

Getting to know Tingalpa
A township was surveyed on Old Cleveland Road in 1863 but never built, and was formally scrapped in 1943. Settlers established New Tingalpa during the 1860s instead, adding a post office in 1867, the Gothic Christ Church in 1868 and a state school in 1873. Nobody is quite sure where the name comes from, though Tingalpa Creek, about 5 km away, is one theory.
Brick and tile homes in the newer estates usually need tile hooks rather than tin roof clamps, and older timber cottages may need a roof check first. Both types can run well on a properly sized system.

EV chargers in Tingalpa: questions
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.
