Planning for one EV, or two, in Middle Park
A lot of Middle Park homes have two cars in the driveway, and once one goes electric, the second often follows. If that is likely for you, it is worth saying so at the quoting stage. We can size the cable and circuit for two chargers or a single unit with two outlets, and set up load sharing so both cars charge overnight without overloading your supply.
The houses are mostly brick, built through the 1970s and 1980s, with a double garage under the main roof. The meter box is frequently on the front or side wall, so the cable run to the garage is short. Switchboards vary: some have been upgraded, others have not. We check before quoting.
Single-phase 7kW charging suits nearly every household. A full battery overnight covers school runs, sport and the commute, with plenty spare.
What an EV charger install costs in Middle Park
In Middle Park, 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 |
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.
How to pay less for a charger in Middle Park
- Send clear photos of the switchboard and charger spot, so we can quote without a site visit.
- Mount the charger on the garage wall closest to the meter box. A shorter run is the easiest saving.
- If a second EV is coming, size the cable for it now rather than paying for a second callout later.
- Charge overnight on an off-peak tariff, or from surplus solar, to keep running costs low.

Middle Park supply and solar
Family homes tend to have heavy evening loads: ducted air conditioning, cooking, a pool pump and a dryer all at once. Adding an EV on top can push some older supplies to their limit. A charger with load management watches the house and slows down when demand is high, which usually avoids a supply upgrade.
If you have solar, the picture changes. A solar-aware charger can fill the car from surplus generation on weekends or work-from-home days, which is about as cheap as charging gets. Our solar EV charging guide explains what is needed.
Middle Park sits between Jamboree Heights and Westlake, with quick access to the Centenary Highway for trips into town.

Middle Park EV charging FAQs
Should I wire my Middle Park garage for two chargers now?
If a second EV is likely within a few years, yes. Running a larger cable or a second circuit while we are already there costs much less than coming back later. We can install one charger now and leave the second ready to connect, or fit a charger that splits power between two cars. Load sharing keeps both within your supply limit.
How much does EV charger installation cost in Middle Park?
A standard single-phase install in Middle Park 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 Middle Park?
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 I charge my EV from my solar panels?
Yes. With a solar-aware charger such as a myenergi Zappi or Fronius Wattpilot, the charger watches your export and tops up the car with surplus solar instead of sending it to the grid. It needs a current sensor at your meter or inverter integration. Charging fully on solar works best if the car is home during the day.
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.
Can a Tesla Wall Connector charge other EVs?
Yes. The current Tesla Wall Connector uses the standard Type 2 plug used in Australia, so it can charge non-Tesla EVs as well. It delivers up to about 7.4kW on single phase. It does not follow your solar surplus on its own (Tesla's solar charging features rely on other Tesla hardware), so solar owners who want that often choose a Zappi or Wattpilot instead.
