Businesses and workshops in Virginia
Sandgate Road and the streets around it hold workshops, trade businesses, warehouses and showrooms. Business owners here may want to charge a work vehicle on site or offer charging to staff. For several vehicles that usually means three-phase supply, multiple chargers and load management, which we cover on our commercial charging page.
For a single van or ute, a business install can be as simple as a home one: a dedicated circuit from the main board to a wallbox in the loading bay. For a growing fleet, we start with a load assessment so the chargers can expand with you.
Virginia station on the main northern line and quick Gateway access make the area easy to reach for staff, and for us.
Home charging in Virginia's residential streets
The houses in Virginia are mostly post-war timber and brick on standard blocks, set back from the commercial roads. Parking is a carport or garage beside the house, and the board is usually on an outside wall. A wallbox on a dedicated circuit, mounted where you park, is the standard job. Some homes have a rear shed, which gives a second option for the charger.
Homes of this age can have boards that are full or partly original. If an upgrade is needed, we tell you before you commit and quote it as its own line. Single-phase 7kW suits almost every household here and charges a typical car overnight. We can also install a charger you have already bought.
If your driveway is shared or narrow, mention it at quoting so we can plan a mounting spot that keeps the cable clear.
What an EV charger install costs in Virginia
In Virginia, 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 |
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.
Keeping your Virginia install affordable
- Send clear photos of the switchboard and charger spot, so we can quote without a site visit.
- Choose a 7kW single-phase charger. It suits almost every household and avoids three-phase costs.
- 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.

EV charger questions from Virginia
Can you install a charger for my work ute at a Virginia business?
Yes. A single charger for a work vehicle is often a straightforward job: a dedicated circuit from the main switchboard to a wallbox where the vehicle parks overnight. If you plan more vehicles, we assess the site supply first and lay out cabling that can take extra chargers later. We provide a fixed written quote either way.
What does it cost to install an EV charger in Virginia?
A standard single-phase install in Virginia 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 Virginia?
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 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.
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.
How much will charging add to my power bill?
It depends on how far you drive and when you charge. A typical EV uses roughly 15 to 20 kWh per 100 km, so multiply your weekly distance by that and by your tariff rate. Charging on surplus solar or an off-peak rate keeps the cost well below the price of petrol for the same distance. Check your retailer for current rates.
