Under-house garages on Kenmore's hills
Much of Kenmore was built from the 1960s into the 1980s on sloping blocks, and a common layout is a house on the upper level with the garage tucked underneath or set into the slope. When the switchboard is on the same lower level, the cable to the charger can be just a few metres, run along the garage wall.
Where the board is upstairs, the cable drops through the floor framing or down an external wall in conduit. It is a little more work and is simply priced into your fixed quote.
Boards in homes of this age vary widely. Some have been upgraded during renovations, others are close to original. If yours has ceramic fuses or no space for another circuit, we quote an upgrade separately. Once that is in place, a single-phase 7kW wallbox charges most cars overnight.
Kenmore install considerations
Moggill Road carries traffic through Kenmore every day, and Kenmore Village is the local shopping hub. For most residents, trips are a mix of short local errands and longer drives into the city via the Centenary Motorway or Moggill Road. Overnight charging covers that comfortably.
Steep driveways need thought. We place the charger so the cable reaches the car without strain and keep the unit clear of stormwater running down to the garage door. Where the driveway is shared with a battle-axe neighbour, we also keep the unit and cable well inside your own boundary.
Plenty of Kenmore roofs carry solar. If you want the car to soak up surplus generation on days it is home, see our solar EV charging guide.
EV charger installation cost in Kenmore
A standard single-phase EV charger installation in Kenmore costs from $990 inc GST with Connex Electrical, plus the charger if you need one. Most Kenmore 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 |
Every standard install includes its own circuit and safety switch protection, the cable run within the standard length, mounting and setup, full testing and a Certificate of Testing and Compliance. The charger itself is extra unless you already own one.
Keeping your Kenmore install affordable
- Charge overnight on an off-peak tariff, or from surplus solar, to keep running costs low.
- Already have a charger from the dealer? We install it, so you only pay for installation.
- Mount the charger on the garage wall closest to the meter box. A shorter run is the easiest saving.
- Send clear photos of the switchboard and charger spot, so we can quote without a site visit.

Common questions in Kenmore
My Kenmore garage is under the house. Is that a good spot for a charger?
Usually it is ideal. An under-house garage keeps the charger and cable out of the weather, and if the switchboard is on the same level the cable run is short. If the board is upstairs, we drop the cable through the floor framing or run it neatly down an external wall. We confirm the route and the board before quoting.
What does it cost to install an EV charger in Kenmore?
A standard single-phase install in Kenmore 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 Kenmore?
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.
What if my garage is a long way from the switchboard?
A longer cable run is common and is simply priced into your quote. The cable size goes up with distance to keep voltage drop in check, and the route might go through the roof space, under the house or along an external wall in conduit. Sending photos of the switchboard and the charger spot helps us price it accurately without a visit.
How long does it take to install a home EV charger?
Most standard home installs take 2 to 4 hours on the day. That covers mounting the charger, running the cable, fitting a dedicated circuit and protection, then testing and commissioning with your car. Allow most of a day if a switchboard upgrade is done at the same visit. Booking lead time depends on the season, so call for the next available slot.
Is there a Queensland rebate for home EV chargers?
Not at the moment. There is currently no Queensland Government rebate for home EV chargers. The state Zero Emission Vehicle rebate for cars closed on 2 September 2024 when its funding ran out. Occasionally a retailer or federally funded trial offers a subsidised charger, and if one fits your situation we will tell you. Be wary of "free installation" offers that lock you into a particular charger or energy plan.
