EV charger installation in Upper Kedron
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV Charger Installation Upper Kedron: 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 Upper Kedron we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Brisbane's west takes in leafy riverside suburbs like Indooroopilly, Kenmore and Chapel Hill, the Centenary suburbs, and hillier, tree-lined streets around The Gap, Ashgrove and Ferny Grove where shading needs careful planning. We look after Upper Kedron and the surrounding suburbs of Ferny Grove, The Gap and Ferny Hills, so a free on-site measure in 4055 is easy to book.
- Plenty of Upper Kedron properties are on acreage, which opens up ground-mounted arrays, sheds and larger systems. Rural feeders also see more outages, so battery backup is popular here.

About Upper Kedron
Community life centred on Upper Kedron Hall, opened on Cedar Creek Road in 1890, and Cedar Creek Cemetery, opened in 1898. For a long time it remained a quiet corner on Brisbane's fringe. That changed in 2014, when Cedar Woods Properties paid 68 million dollars for 228 hectares of the remaining land, planning up to 980 lots with 91 hectares kept as open space.
New homes going up on the big estate can be designed with roof space and battery wiring planned in, while bush blocks on the forest edge may need careful panel placement to avoid tree shade.

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.

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.
