EV charger installation in Wakerley
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
Why Wakerley homes choose RS Energy for ev chargers
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 Wakerley we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Brisbane's bayside east, from Wynnum and Manly through Tingalpa and Wakerley, mixes breezy bayfront homes with quieter family streets, and salt air near the water is a real design consideration. Our ev chargers work in Wakerley also covers neighbouring Gumdale, Ransome and Manly West, all within about 2km.

Wakerley: a local snapshot
Early settler John William Wakerley is remembered in the suburb's name. Records of its first years are thin, though a 1927 photograph shows a local family living in a house built from kerosene tins, a reminder of how basic life could be on the city fringe. Education arrived much later, with The Agnew School moving here from Norman Park in 2008.
Roof orientation varies from street to street across this suburb, so it is worth checking whether east and west facing panels would better match a household's morning and evening usage than a single north array.

EV chargers in Wakerley: questions
Still unsure? Talk to us directly. You will speak with the people who do the work.
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.
Do you install EV chargers in Wakerley units and townhouses?
Often, yes, subject to body corporate approval and the building supply. We can provide the technical details your body corporate will ask for.
