EV charger installation in Varsity Lakes
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV chargers for Varsity Lakes, 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 Varsity Lakes 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. From Varsity Lakes to nearby Burleigh Waters and Burleigh Heads, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.

Getting to know Varsity Lakes
In 1873 Thomas Blacket Stephens bought 6,980 acres of swampy country to drain for dairying, work his son William carried on. Delfin Lend Lease bought the land between Stephens and Robina in 1999 and created Lake Orr and Lake Azzura, with houses following. Varsity College opened in 2001, and in 2002 Stephens, Andrews and part of Robina were merged under the development's name.
Much of Varsity Lakes was built from 1999 onward, so many homes have modern switchboards and simple roof lines that suit solar, though lakefront living can bring body corporate rules to work through.
