Under the house in Wavell Heights
Wavell Heights was built out largely in the decades after the Second World War, and a lot of its homes are raised timber houses on sloping streets. Under the house you often find the car, the laundry and the switchboard on a wall nearby, which is about as good as it gets for a charger install.
Plenty of these homes have since been enclosed downstairs, turning the old under-house area into a garage and rumpus room. That is fine too: the cable can still run in the ceiling of the new lower level or within the stud walls.
On the electrical side, ask us to look at the board alongside the charger quote. Older boards with no spare space are common in houses that have had cosmetic updates only, and planning both together saves a second visit. A 7kW single-phase unit is the usual pick.
Wavell Heights in practice
Hamilton Road crosses the suburb, and Gympie Road and Sandgate Road are each a short drive away. Westfield Chermside is close, so daily trips are often short, and charging a few nights a week is enough for many households. A charger with scheduling means you can plug in whenever you get home and let it start at the cheap time.
Hilly streets mean some driveways are steep. For an outdoor carport charger, we keep the unit and holster at the top of the slope where the cable reaches the car without crossing a path or being driven over.
If your roof already carries panels, a charger that follows your solar can make good use of them on weekends.

What an EV charger install costs in Wavell Heights
Expect to pay from $990 inc GST for a standard single-phase charger install in Wavell Heights, plus the charger itself. That is the price for most garages and carports. Long runs, switchboard upgrades and three-phase chargers are the only common extras, and Connex Electrical quotes them in writing before you book.
| 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.
Affordable EV charger installation in Wavell Heights

- Mount the charger on the garage wall closest to the meter box. A shorter run is the easiest saving.
- Charge overnight on an off-peak tariff, or from surplus solar, to keep running costs low.
- Send clear photos of the switchboard and charger spot, so we can quote without a site visit.

Your questions, answered
My Wavell Heights house has been built in underneath. Is the install still simple?
Usually, yes. When the lower level was enclosed, the electrician typically ran new circuits through the ceiling or walls, and we can follow a similar path. We check where the board ended up, whether it was upgraded during the work and how far the garage is from it. Photos of each normally let us give a fixed price.
How much does EV charger installation cost in Wavell Heights?
A standard single-phase install in Wavell Heights 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 Wavell Heights?
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 you install a charger in an older Queenslander?
Yes. Older homes just need a closer look at the wiring and switchboard first. Many still have original or partly upgraded boards that lack room or safety switches for a new circuit. The good news is that the space under a high-set Queenslander often makes the cable run easy. We inspect first and quote any switchboard work separately so you can see it.
Can I charge two EVs at home?
Yes. You can fit two chargers that share the available power, or one charger and plan charging times. Many chargers support load sharing, so both cars charge overnight without overloading your supply. If you expect a second EV soon, mention it at quoting so we size the circuit and cable for it now and save a second callout later.
