Fitzgibbon homes, old and new
The newer side of Fitzgibbon, built through the 2010s around Fitzgibbon Chase, is full of compact houses and terraces with modern switchboards. Many have a single garage at the front close to the meter, which keeps the cable short and the price near the standard figure.
Townhouses in the same area are a different conversation. If your garage sits within your own lot and the circuit can come from your own meter, it can be quite simple. If the cable has to cross a shared driveway or common wall, body corporate approval is needed first, and we can prepare a written scope for the committee.
The older parts of Fitzgibbon include post-war and later homes, some timber, with switchboards that may need updating before a 32A circuit can be added. These homes tend to have more yard and easier access underneath, which often offsets the cost of the board work.
EV charger installation cost in Fitzgibbon
Expect from $990 inc GST for a standard single-phase install in a Fitzgibbon house or townhouse, with the charger extra. The price changes with distance from the switchboard and the board's condition, and apartment buildings are quoted per site. Connex Electrical puts every extra in a fixed written quote.
| Situation | Price |
|---|---|
| Garage or carport close to a modern switchboard | From $990 installed (inc GST) |
| Older board with fuses or no safety switches | Standard price plus a switchboard upgrade, quoted separately |
| Apartment bay wired from your own meter, once the body corporate approves | Quoted after we check the car park route |
| Shared, load-managed chargers for the whole building | Staged quote for the body corporate |
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.

- If you rent, a written scope of works makes it easy for your landlord to say yes.
- Load management lets more chargers share the existing supply, avoiding a costly upgrade.

Living with an EV in Fitzgibbon
Carseldine station sits on the western edge of Fitzgibbon Chase, and Roghan Road links the suburb across to Taigum. Households who catch the train to work may only drive short distances, which a modest overnight charge covers easily.
On the smaller lots and roofs of the newer streets, there may not be much spare solar once the house has been looked after. In that case a scheduled overnight charge in cheaper hours is often more practical than trying to run the car on surplus alone.

Fitzgibbon EV charging FAQs
Do I need body corporate approval for a charger in a Fitzgibbon Chase townhouse?
Usually, if any part of the job crosses common property. In many Fitzgibbon Chase complexes the garage itself is within your lot, but the cable route back to your meter may pass through shared areas. Your community management statement and by-laws set out what counts as common property. We map the route on site and send a written proposal you can put to the committee.
How much does EV charger installation cost in Fitzgibbon?
A standard single-phase install in Fitzgibbon 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 Fitzgibbon?
For houses, keep the charger close to the switchboard and choose a 7kW single-phase unit, so the install stays at the standard $990 inc GST. For apartments, a shared, load-managed plan for the building costs less per bay than one-off installs. Every quote is fixed, so there are no surprises on the day.
My house is fairly new. Is installation simpler?
Usually, yes. Homes built in the last 15 to 20 years tend to have modern switchboards with safety switches and spare space, and the garage is often close to the board. That keeps most installs at the standard price. We still confirm your supply capacity, especially if you have ducted air conditioning, a pool or an existing solar system.
I am renting. Can I still get a charger installed?
Yes, with your landlord or agent agreeing in writing first. A wallbox is a fixed electrical installation, so the owner must approve it. Many landlords say yes because it adds value to the property. We can give you a quote and a short scope of works to send to your property manager.
What is load management on an EV charger?
Load management lets the charger slow down when the rest of the property is drawing a lot of power, then speed up again when demand drops. It protects your main supply from overloading, so you can often avoid a costly supply upgrade. It is standard practice in apartments and businesses and useful in homes with big loads like ducted air conditioning.
