Managing assets in Brisbane is a different ball game compared to the southern states. You don't just deal with traffic; you deal with 90% humidity, violent summer storms, and UV radiation that can turn cheap plastic brittle in a single season.
If you're a facility manager in Eagle Farm or a fleet operator in Yatala, you know that "standard" hardware often fails here. A charger that works perfectly in a Melbourne basement can succumb to moisture ingress or thermal throttling when exposed to a Queensland summer.
On the flip side, we have the "solar advantage". With the highest rooftop solar penetration in the world, Brisbane businesses are uniquely positioned to charge their fleets for free – if they buy the right hardware that talks to their inverters.
Buying a charger here isn't just about the price; it's about finding a partner who understands IP ratings (weatherproofing) and solar integration. You need a distributor with a warehouse in Pinkenba or Rocklea, not just a glossy website.
Below, we break down the Top 7 Distributors commanding the Queensland market in 2026. These are the teams with stock on the ground. (But keep reading to the end to find out who helps you keep it running).
Why they made the list: In Queensland, "Haymans" is almost a generic term for "electrical wholesaler." Owned by the massive MMEM group, they have a branch in nearly every suburb from Browns Plains to Brendale. Their sheer size means they hold more local stock than almost anyone else, which is critical when global supply chains get tight.
Their Greentech division focuses exclusively on renewables. If you walk into a Haymans Greentech branch, you are talking to a specialist who knows the difference between a CT clamp and a load shedder, not just a general counter staff.
Why they made the list: While many southern companies just ship to Queensland, EVSE Australia planted a flag here with a dedicated office in Morningside. They understand the local market better than most, specifically the need for public charging in high-traffic tourism corridors like the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
Their Morningside team offers a "Turnkey" service where they connect you with certified local installers, saving you the hassle of vetting electricians yourself.
Why they made the list: JET Charge has a massive footprint in Queensland, driven by their deep integration with the state’s heavy fleet and solar sectors. They are the installation partner for many of the EVs you see on Brisbane roads, from Woolworths delivery trucks to private Teslas.
JET Charge is heavily involved in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) trials. In a state prone to grid instability during summer storms, their tech could eventually allow your fleet to power your office during a blackout.
Why they made the list: Sherriff Electrical is a proud Queensland success story. Unlike the multinationals, they are headquartered right here, and they have been expanding aggressively into the EV space. They have a "can-do" attitude that resonates with local contractors.
They have an excellent online portal that shows real-time stock levels at their Queensland branches, so you don't waste time driving across town for a part that isn't there.
Why they made the list: NHP’s facility in Rocklea is a cornerstone of Queensland’s industrial sector. When you are dealing with mining sites, bus depots, or heavy industry, NHP is the default choice. They supply the rugged Delta hardware that powers the big stuff.
NHP offers specialized "EV Readiness" training at their Rocklea center, teaching contractors how to safely install and commission high-voltage DC infrastructure.
Why they made the list: Rexel isn't just a wholesaler; they are a technical partner for large commercial projects. Their Brisbane team specializes in "Value Engineering" – finding ways to fit EV charging into a building's existing power envelope without triggering expensive transformer upgrades.
Rexel offers a "kitting" service where they package the charger, the pedestal, and the specific breakers you need into a single shipment, saving hours of sorting time on site.
Why they made the list: With a massive presence across Queensland, CNW is the logistical backbone for many mid-sized electrical contractors. They are known for being agile and able to source obscure parts quickly through their national network.
CNW is 100% Australian family-owned, which appeals to many Queensland businesses who prefer to keep their spend local.
Let’s be honest. You can buy the best charger in the world, but if it isn't installed correctly, the first Brisbane storm will kill it. You need a licensed contractor who understands water ingress protection and Queensland's specific Service & Installation Rules.
While the "Distributors" above supply the box, the Installers below are the ones dealing with the Energex connection and the mud.
Based in Toowoomba but servicing the entire western corridor down to Brisbane, these guys are the experts in "Solar + EV". They are authorized installers for Tesla and Zappi, and they know exactly how to set up your system to charge off your roof, not the grid.
Specializing in existing homes and businesses, Reconnect Electrical is famous for their neat work. They handle the entire process, including the painful switchboard upgrades that are often required in older Brisbane Queenslanders.
If you bought a Tesla, you want a Tesla Certified Installer. Taylor Energy is one of the premier partners in Brisbane. They know the Wall Connector inside out and offer a level of finish that matches the premium car you just bought.
These guys don't just install chargers; they install energy ecosystems. As a Solahart dealer, they can upgrade your solar, install a battery, and fit an EV charger all in one go. This is the ultimate way to future-proof your home against rising power bills.
Before you sign that purchase order, let's distinguish between the two key players in your infrastructure rollout. This is where most first-time buyers get confused.
If you confuse the Distributor with the Operator, you end up with a great box and a great billing app, but no plan for when the screen breaks.
Selecting a distributor is a critical procurement decision, but it is only "Day 1." Whether you choose a rugged unit from NHP or a smart tower from EVSE, every asset faces the same adversary: The Queensland Climate.
In Brisbane, humidity is the silent killer. It finds its way into microscopic seals, causing corrosion on PCB boards that weren't designed for the tropics. Add to that the extreme UV radiation, and you have a recipe for hardware failure.
There's currently a "maintenance gap" in Queensland; hardware is being rolled out faster than technicians being trained to maintain it. A standard CPMS might ping you with "Error 404", but it can't tell you if the technician has the right waterproof sealant in their van.
This is where FieldEx enters the equation.
FieldEx is the operating system for the energy transition, powering the workforce that keeps the hardware alive.
For Queensland asset managers, FieldEx ensures:
Brisbane is uniquely positioned to lead the EV revolution, powered by the sun and driven by a booming logistics sector. The distributors and installers listed above are the best in the business, offering the local stock and expertise you need to get started.
But remember: a charger that doesn't work is just an expensive lawn ornament. As you plan your rollout for 2026, think beyond the install. Think about the technician who needs to fix it in 90% humidity three years from now. Give them the right tools, and your grid will stay green.

Yes. The Queensland Zero Emission Vehicle Strategy offers various incentives. While the $3,000 car rebate has evolved, there are specific co-funding rounds for public fast charging infrastructure and fleet transitions. Check the "Zero Emission Vehicle Rebate Scheme" for the latest business grants.
Absolutely. With the right "Smart Charger" (like a Zappi or SolarEdge from Haymans), you can set the car to charge only when your solar panels are producing excess power, effectively giving you free fuel.
Standard chargers are often rated for mild European climates. In Brisbane, you need a unit with a high IP rating (IP55 or IP65) and UV-stabilized plastic to survive the intense sun and tropical storms without degrading.
Single-phase (standard home power) charges at 7kW (~40km range/hour). Three-phase (commercial/industrial power) charges at 22kW (~120km range/hour). Most Brisbane businesses have three-phase, but most homes do not.
Yes. You should use a licensed electrician with EV certification (like the ones listed above). Incorrect installation can void your home insurance and damage your car’s battery.
Sherriff Electrical and Haymans are the favorites among sparkies. They have the best counter support and stock levels for the bits and pieces (breakers, cable) you need to finish the job.
It varies, but budget around $2,000 for the charger and $1,500-$3,000 for the installation. If you need a switchboard upgrade (common in older Queenslanders), add another $1,000+.
It is risky. If your property is in a flood zone (like Rocklea or Milton), you should mount the charger as high as possible and use a unit with top-tier water ingress protection. NHP’s industrial units are best for this.
It is smart software that slows down your charging if your building is using too much power (eg when the AC is cranking in summer). This prevents you from blowing the main fuse and blacking out your office.
High humidity can cause condensation inside the charger, leading to short circuits. Regular maintenance checks (managed by FieldEx) can catch worn seals before moisture gets in.
