EV charger installation in Zillmere
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
Why Zillmere 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 Zillmere 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.

Zillmere: a local snapshot
By 1872 around 27 small farmers were growing pineapples, pigs and crops at Zillman's Waterholes, named after Lutheran missionary Johann Leopold Zillmann. St John's Lutheran Church opened in 1875 and the school in 1877. When the railway pushed through to Petrie in 1888, the station and school became Zillmere. In the 1950s the Housing Commission turned farmland into estates of prefabricated houses imported from France.
Lightweight 1950s prefab houses have their own roof structures, so checking framing and roof condition before installing panels is a sensible first step here.

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.

Often, yes, subject to body corporate approval and the building supply. We can provide the technical details your body corporate will ask for.
