Kenmore Hills garages and long runs
Properties in Kenmore Hills tend to sit on larger lots, often with established trees and a garage set apart from the house. The distance from switchboard to parking spot is the first thing we measure, because a run of 30 metres or more needs heavier cable to keep voltage drop in check and that changes the price.
Where there is already a sub-board in a shed or garage, we may be able to feed the charger from there, provided the sub-mains are large enough. If not, a new sub-main is sometimes the tidier option, especially if you also want power for a workshop or pool equipment.
Some homes on bigger blocks have three-phase supply. If yours does, an 11kW or 22kW charger becomes possible, though many EVs can only accept around 7kW or 11kW on AC. We check your car's onboard charger before suggesting anything bigger than you can use.
Bush blocks and backroads
Kenmore Hills backs onto bushland and the roads wind. If your property is set back down a long driveway, we may suggest a pedestal-mounted charger near where you actually park rather than on the house wall.
Trenching is often the biggest line on the quote here. On rocky ground, running conduit along an existing fence line or retaining wall can be cheaper than digging, and we will price both where both work.
Brookfield Road and Moggill Road are the main ways out, and most residents drive rather than catch public transport. That makes home charging the main source for most local EV owners, so it is worth sizing the circuit for the car you will own in five years, not just today. More on that in our cost guide.

How much does EV charger installation cost in Kenmore Hills?
In Kenmore Hills, most home EV charger installs come in at Connex Electrical's standard price of $990 inc GST, with the charger extra unless you already own one. What can add to it is distance from the switchboard to your parking spot, the condition of the board, and whether you want three-phase. All of that is priced upfront in writing.
| 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 |
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.
How to pay less for a charger in Kenmore Hills
- Charge overnight on an off-peak tariff, or from surplus solar, to keep running costs low.
- Mount the charger on the garage wall closest to the meter box. A shorter run is the easiest saving.
- Already have a charger from the dealer? We install it, so you only pay for installation.
- Choose a 7kW single-phase charger. It suits almost every household and avoids three-phase costs.
Kenmore Hills is about 31 km from Mango Hill, roughly 35 minutes of driving outside peak. Allow a little extra time for the site visit if trenching is likely.

Your questions, answered
My garage in Kenmore Hills is separate from the house. Can you still install a charger?
Yes. We can run a dedicated cable underground or along a structure to the garage, or feed the charger from an existing sub-board if it has the capacity. Long runs need heavier cable, so the distance affects the price. We measure the route on site and give you a fixed quote before any digging starts.
How much does EV charger installation cost in Kenmore Hills?
A standard single-phase install in Kenmore Hills 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 Kenmore Hills?
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.
Can an EV charger be installed outside?
Yes. Most wallboxes are rated for outdoor use, so a carport post or external wall is fine. We still look at placement: out of direct afternoon sun where possible, clear of where water pools, and where the cable reaches the charge port without stretching across a path. A pedestal mount works where there is no wall nearby.
Do I need three-phase power to charge an EV at home?
No. Most Brisbane homes are single phase, and a single-phase 32A charger delivers up to about 7.4kW, enough to refill a typical daily commute in two or three hours overnight. Three-phase only helps if your car can accept 11kW or 22kW on AC and you regularly need fast top-ups at home. We can tell you which applies to your car.
What warranty do I get?
The charger carries the manufacturer's warranty, which varies by brand and is usually several years. Our workmanship is guaranteed too, and because we are a local Brisbane contractor rather than a call centre, you deal with the same team if anything needs attention. We will confirm the exact warranty terms for your charger in writing with the quote.
