Commuting from Kedron
Airport Link starts in Kedron and Gympie Road runs straight through, so the suburb is a natural base for people who drive to the city, the airport or the north. That driving adds up, and a dedicated wallbox quickly proves more useful than a portable cable on a power point.
For high-mileage drivers, a 7kW charger left on overnight recovers well over a typical day's driving, and scheduling it for your off-peak hours keeps the cost in check. Ask us about a Tesla Wall Connector or another brand if you already know what you want.
Where a carport faces the street, a charger with PIN or app control stops anyone else using it.
Kedron houses and their switchboards
Most of Kedron's housing is post-war: timber and fibro homes from the 1940s and 50s, with later brick in some streets and newer units close to Gympie Road. Many of the older houses have had a board change already, often when air conditioning or solar went in, and those are the easy jobs: a new circuit, an RCBO and the wallbox, done in a morning.
Others still have a board added to bit by bit since the house was built. If yours has no free spaces, old fuses or a main switch too small for the extra load, we will say so in the quote and price the upgrade as a separate item.
On low-set homes on a slab, the cable usually goes through the roof space and down inside the garage wall. On high-set homes, it runs under the floor, which is quicker and keeps the job tidy.
What an EV charger install costs in Kedron
A standard single-phase EV charger installation in Kedron costs from $990 inc GST with Connex Electrical, plus the charger if you need one. Most Kedron houses pay just that. The price only rises for a long cable run, an older switchboard that needs upgrading, or a three-phase charger, and you see any extra in a fixed written quote first.
| Situation | Price |
|---|---|
| Garage or carport close to a modern switchboard | From $990 installed (inc GST) |
| Charger on the far side of the house, or a detached garage | Standard price plus the extra cable, quoted from photos |
| Older board with fuses or no safety switches | Standard price plus a switchboard upgrade, quoted separately |
| Three-phase home with an 11kW or 22kW charger | Quoted per job |
Included as standard: a new charger circuit and protection at your switchboard, cabling within the standard allowance, mounting, app setup, testing and a compliance certificate. The charger itself is extra unless you already own one.

EV charger questions from Kedron
I drive the Airport Link most days from Kedron. Is a 7kW charger enough?
Yes, for almost everyone. A 7kW charger adds roughly 40 to 50 km of range per hour, so a few hours overnight replaces a long day of driving. You would only need more if your car accepts higher AC charging and you already have three-phase power, which is uncommon in Brisbane homes.
What does it cost to install an EV charger in Kedron?
A standard single-phase install in Kedron 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.
What is the most affordable way to install an EV charger in Kedron?
Put the charger close to the switchboard, choose a 7kW single-phase unit and send photos so we can quote without a visit. If you already have a charger, you only pay for installation, at the standard $990 inc GST. Every quote is fixed, so there are no surprises on the day.
Will my switchboard cope with an EV charger?
Usually yes, but older boards are the most common reason a quote goes up. A charger needs its own circuit with RCD protection and enough spare capacity in your supply. Boards with ceramic fuses, no room for new devices or no safety switches generally need an upgrade first. We check the board on the site visit or from photos and tell you before you commit.
Can I just charge from a normal power point?
You can, but it is slow. A standard 10A power point with the portable cable that came with the car adds roughly 10 to 15 km of range per hour, which may suit a short commute. A dedicated wallbox is several times faster, safer for long daily sessions and lets you schedule charging for cheaper tariff periods.
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.
