EV charger installation in Tweed Heads West
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV chargers for Tweed Heads West, 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 Tweed Heads West we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
The Tweed runs from the border at Tweed Heads down the coast to Pottsville and inland along the river to Murwillumbah and Uki, a mix of beach houses, river-flat towns and hinterland acreage. From Tweed Heads West to nearby Tweed Heads and Cobaki Lakes, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.
- Being close to the water, Tweed Heads West 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.

Getting to know Tweed Heads West
Tweed Heads West sits on Bundjalung country, and the written record of its early European years is slim. What is clear is its position on the western side of Tweed Heads near the Tweed River, inside Tweed Shire, with part of Gold Coast Airport reaching across the border into the suburb. Cobaki Creek runs close by, past Boyd Family Park on Piggabeen Road.
With Cobaki Creek and the Tweed River close by, it is sensible to place batteries and inverters above any likely flood height, while the open airport land next door leaves many roofs with wide, unshaded skies.
