EV charger installation in Tugun
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV Charger Installation Tugun: 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 Tugun we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
The southern Gold Coast stretches from Coolangatta and the beaches of Palm Beach and Burleigh back to Robina, Mudgeeraba and the valleys of Currumbin and Tallebudgera, with everything from beachfront units to acreage. We look after Tugun and the surrounding suburbs of Currumbin, Coolangatta and Bilinga, so a free on-site measure in 4224 is easy to book.
- Being close to the water, Tugun gets salt-laden sea breezes. We use corrosion-resistant racking, stainless fixings and panels and inverters rated for coastal sites, and we design to the local wind loading.

About Tugun
Tugun's name is believed to come from an Indigenous word meaning 'breaking waves'. The Baptist church opened in February 1925, and by around 1926 homes were dotted through the sandhills behind the beach. St Monica's Catholic Church followed in 1959 and the bowls club in 1967. More recently, the Tugun Bypass opened in June 2008, easing traffic through the area.
Homes up in Tugun Heights tend to catch clear sun above the beachfront buildings, while those near the sand need salt-rated gear, so the right setup can differ a lot from one street to the next.

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.
