EV charger installation in Woolloongabba
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV Charger Installation Woolloongabba: 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 Woolloongabba we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
Inner Brisbane is full of character: Queenslanders, workers cottages and townhouses on small lots in places like Paddington, West End, New Farm and Bulimba, where neat installs and careful panel layout matter. We look after Woolloongabba and the surrounding suburbs of Highgate Hill, Dutton Park and South Brisbane, so a free on-site measure in 4102 is easy to book.
- Many Woolloongabba homes are character Queenslanders and older workers cottages with corrugated iron roofs. Tin roofs are quick to mount on, and we keep conduit runs neat and out of sight on heritage-style facades.

About Woolloongabba
Locals called the low, swampy ground One Mile Swamp until the early 1890s. Experts still disagree on what Woolloongabba means, with whirling waters and fight talk place both suggested. A school opened in 1884, the same year as the railway locomotive depot, and trams served the area from 1885 until 1969. In early 1942 the country's first Coca Cola bottling plant was built here.
With heritage shopfronts, older houses and newer residential buildings mixed together 3 km from the CBD, roof types vary widely, and flat commercial roofs can suit tilted frames that make the most of the sun.

Can I charge my EV from solar?
