EV charger installation in Wavell Heights
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV Charger Installation Wavell Heights: 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 Wavell Heights we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Brisbane's northside ranges from the grand old homes of Ascot, Hamilton and Clayfield to family suburbs like Aspley, Chermside and Bracken Ridge and the bayside villages of Sandgate and Shorncliffe. We look after Wavell Heights and the surrounding suburbs of Nundah, Kedron and Kalinga, so a free on-site measure in 4012 is easy to book.

About Wavell Heights
Before 1941 people knew this area as West Nundah. That year it was renamed after Field Marshal Lord Wavell, the Allied commander in the Middle East during World War II. Churches were already appearing from 1937, but the real boom was post-war. The state school opened in 1948, Our Lady of the Angels' in 1950 and Wavell State High in 1959, as families filled the northern suburbs.
Post-war family homes here tend to have straightforward roofs, and with schools nearby, many households have afternoon and evening peaks that a battery can cover well.

Can I charge my EV from solar?
