Power Your EV with Solar – Smart EV Charging for Toowoomba Homes and Businesses
Electric vehicles (EVs) are quickly becoming the new normal in Australia, with projections showing that nearly half of all new cars sold by 2030 will be electric. And the best way to power your EV? With solar energy and a smart home EV charger.
Instead of paying for fluctuating fuel prices or lining up at public chargers, you can charge your electric vehicle at home or work—while it’s parked in your garage, carport, or driveway. Pairing your EV charger with a solar power and battery system makes it even more cost-effective.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to install an EV charger at home?
The cost of installing a home EV charger depends on the charger type, your electrical setup, and whether it’s integrated with a solar power system. While upfront costs can vary, many homeowners in Toowoomba find that the long-term savings on fuel and convenience of home charging make it a smart investment. Excel Power offers tailored quotes based on your property and needs.
Can I use an EV charger with my solar system?
Yes! Our EV chargers are designed to seamlessly integrate with solar and battery storage systems, allowing you to charge your EV using solar power generated during the day. This reduces your reliance on the grid, cuts charging costs, and helps you make the most of your solar investment.
What’s the difference between Level 2 and fast EV chargers?
- Level 2 Chargers: Ideal for homes and small businesses, these offer a balance of speed, efficiency, and affordability—charging most EVs in 4–8 hours.
- Level 3 Fast Chargers: Best suited for commercial sites and fleet use, Level 3 chargers can top up an EV in as little as 20–40 minutes, but they require more infrastructure and higher power.
For most households in the Darling Downs, a Level 2 charger is the most practical, energy-efficient choice.
How long does it take to charge an EV at home?
Charging times depend on the charger type:
- Level 1 (Standard power point) – 10 to 20 hours for a full charge
- Level 2 (Wall-mounted EV charger) – 4 to 8 hours for a full charge
- Level 3 (Commercial fast charger) – 20 to 40 minutes to reach 80%, ideal for quick top-ups
For everyday charging, Level 2 EV chargers offer the best combination of speed and convenience for Toowoomba homes.
