Putting a charger on a Campbells Pocket block
On a property this size, the first question is not which charger to buy but where the car actually sleeps. For some owners it is a carport tacked onto the house. For many it is a machinery shed or a separate garage fifty or more metres down the slope, next to the ute and the tractor. That distance decides the cable size, whether we trench, and how much of the quote is labour in the ground rather than the charger itself.
If the shed already has a sub-board fed from the house, we check what that feed was sized for. Old shed feeds were often run for lights and a welder, not for a car pulling 32A for six hours. Sometimes the answer is to upsize the sub-main, and sometimes a smaller charging rate on the existing feed is perfectly adequate for the kilometres you drive.
Rural properties out this way occasionally have three-phase supply for pumps or a workshop. If yours does, a three-phase charger is an option, though most cars only take 7kW or 11kW on AC, so it is worth checking your car's onboard charger before paying for the bigger unit.
What an EV charger install costs in Campbells Pocket
Most Campbells Pocket installs start at $990 inc GST for a standard single-phase charger near the switchboard. Because many blocks here are larger, the cost often depends on how far the parking spot is from the board and whether trenching is needed. Connex Electrical quotes those items separately and in writing.
| Situation | Price |
|---|---|
| Attached garage near the switchboard | From $990 installed (inc GST) |
| Shed or detached garage with its own sub-board | Standard price plus cable, quoted from photos or a visit |
| Trenching across the block to the parking spot | Quoted per job |
| Existing three-phase supply for a faster charger | Quoted per job |
The standard price covers a dedicated circuit with RCD protection, a standard cable run, mounting, charger setup, testing and your Certificate of Testing and Compliance. The charger itself is extra unless you already own one.
Keeping your Campbells Pocket install affordable
- Send photos of the main board, any shed sub-board and the route between them.
- Park and charge in the garage nearest the house switchboard if you can. Trenching is the biggest extra on acreage.
- If the shed already has a sub-board with spare capacity, the charger can often run from there.
- A 7kW single-phase charger covers most acreage commutes overnight.
Campbells Pocket is roughly 28 km from our Mango Hill base, about a 30 minute drive. We usually book a site visit first for acreage jobs so the trench route is measured, not guessed.
Every Campbells Pocket job gets a fixed written price before any work starts, so the quote is what you pay. For a line-by-line breakdown, see the EV charger installation cost guide for Brisbane, or call 0474 207 609.
Why home charging carries more weight here
Public charging is thin once you leave the Caboolture and Dayboro side of things, and a round trip into Brisbane from Campbells Pocket adds up. Waking to a full battery every morning means you rarely have to plan a stop around a charger, which is the main reason rural owners tell us a wallbox was worth it.
Ground conditions matter for trenching. Rocky or steep ground, existing water lines and stock fencing all affect the route, so we walk the line before pricing it. A pedestal mount near where you park is common when there is no handy wall, and our acreage and long run pricing is quoted separately so you can see each part.

Campbells Pocket EV charging FAQs
My shed is a long way from the house in Campbells Pocket. Is that a problem?
No, it just changes the price. Long runs need heavier cable to keep voltage drop down, plus trenching or conduit along an existing route. If the shed has a sub-board, we check whether its feed can carry a charger. We measure the run on site and quote cable, trenching and the charger as separate lines so you can see where the money goes.
How much does EV charger installation cost in Campbells Pocket?
A standard single-phase install in Campbells Pocket is from $990 inc GST with Connex Electrical, plus the charger unless you already have one. Long cable runs, switchboard upgrades and three-phase chargers cost extra and are quoted in writing first. Most installs take 2 to 4 hours.
How can I keep EV charger installation affordable in Campbells Pocket?
Charge in the garage nearest the main switchboard, so the install stays at the standard $990 inc GST. If the parking spot is further away, plan one trench for every service and use an existing shed sub-board if it has capacity. Every quote is fixed, so there are no surprises on the day.
Can you install a charger on an acreage property?
Yes. Acreage installs often involve a shed or garage some distance from the house, so the main questions are cable size, trenching and whether the shed already has a sub-board with enough capacity. Some acreage homes already have three-phase for pumps or workshops, which opens up faster charging. We quote the trenching and cable separately so the costs are clear.
Should I get a 7kW or 22kW charger?
For most homes, 7kW is the right choice. It works on single-phase power and fully charges most EVs overnight. A 22kW charger needs three-phase supply and only charges faster if your car supports 22kW AC, which many models do not; several are capped at 7kW or 11kW. Spending extra on 22kW rarely pays off for a single household car.
How do I get a fixed quote?
Call 0474 207 609 or send the quote form with a few photos of your switchboard, meter box and where you want the charger. Most homes can be quoted from photos. If the job is unusual, such as a long run or an older board, we book a short site visit first. Either way the price is fixed and written before work starts.
