Body corporate first in Bowen Hills
Almost every Bowen Hills owner who wants a charger lives in a strata building. Step one is a written request to the body corporate, because your bay, the cable route and the switch room are usually common property, or the circuit has to pass through it. A clear scope of works makes that request much more likely to succeed.
We put that scope together: where the supply comes from, the route through the car park, how the charger is protected and how its energy is recorded so the building is not paying for your driving. When several residents ask at once, it often makes more sense for the committee to approve one shared, load-managed system than to handle separate one-off jobs.
Owners in older walk-up blocks, and in the few houses left on the hill, have more direct options, usually a circuit from their own meter to a carport or garage. Those jobs follow our standard home installation process.
Living beside the Showgrounds
The Ekka takes over the RNA Showgrounds every August, and road closures and event parking can make getting around Bowen Hills slow that week. If your install lands near show time, we plan our arrival around it.
With Bowen Hills station and the Inner City Bypass on the doorstep, some residents only drive a few times a week. For lighter use, a modest charge rate set to run overnight is plenty, and it puts less strain on the building's supply.
Mixed-use towers with offices downstairs sometimes have separate supplies for the commercial and residential parts. We check which one your bay is on before quoting, because that decides who must approve the work and where the metering goes.

How much does EV charger installation cost in Bowen Hills?
EV charger installation cost in Bowen Hills depends mostly on where you park. Private garages in townhouses usually pay Connex Electrical's standard $990 inc GST. Apartment bays and shared building chargers are quoted per site once the body corporate is on board, with load management to keep the cost down.
| Situation | Price |
|---|---|
| Townhouse with its own garage and meter | From $990 installed (inc GST) |
| Apartment bay wired from your own meter, once the body corporate approves | Quoted after we check the car park route |
| Shared, load-managed chargers for the whole building | Staged quote for the body corporate |
| Written proposal for your committee | Provided with your quote |
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.

Your questions, answered
My Bowen Hills car park bay is common property. Can I still get a charger?
Usually, yes. Many bays in Bowen Hills buildings are common property or exclusive use areas, and both can have chargers once the body corporate approves. The approval normally covers the cable route, metering, insurance and who maintains the charger. We prepare a scope and fixed quote for the committee so the decision can be made at the next meeting.
How much does EV charger installation cost in Bowen Hills?
A standard single-phase install in Bowen 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 Bowen Hills?
In a townhouse with a private garage, a standard install at $990 inc GST is the cheapest route. In apartments, a building-wide plan with load management costs less per bay than one-off installs, and avoids a supply upgrade. Every quote is fixed, so there are no surprises on the day.
How can a body corporate add EV charging for the whole building?
Start with a load assessment of the building supply, then plan a shared or individual charger layout with load management so many cars can charge without a costly supply upgrade. Billing can run through the charger software or sub-metering. We provide the assessment, a staged plan and a fixed quote for the first chargers.
Do you install chargers for businesses?
Yes. We install chargers for offices, shops, workshops, fleets and body corporates, from a single wallbox to multi-bay sites with load management and user billing. Business sites usually start with a load assessment and a staged plan so you can add chargers as demand grows without redoing the cabling.
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.
