Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV chargers for Underwood, 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 Underwood we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Logan blends established suburbs such as Springwood, Shailer Park and Browns Plains with new communities at Yarrabilba, Park Ridge and Logan Reserve, plus acreage through Jimboomba, Greenbank and Munruben. From Underwood to nearby Kuraby and Rochedale South, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.

Getting to know Underwood
William Underwood was an early landholder who ran the Commercial Hotel near Beenleigh Road from the early 1870s until 1895, and the suburb carries his name. This is traditional Yugarabul country. Underwood was gazetted in August 1975 and sat partly in Brisbane and the old Shire of Albert until Logan City formed in 1978. A further slice moved from Brisbane to Logan in 1993.
With quick motorway and busway links, many households here commute, and they suit a battery that stores midday solar for evening use, since the house often sits empty during the day.

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.
