Standard home installs are from $990 installed (inc GST), take about 2 to 4 hours and come with a fixed written quote.

Acreage charging in Burbank
Most Burbank properties sit on large, treed blocks, with the house set back from the road and a garage or shed some distance away. That makes distance the defining feature of a charger install here. A run of many metres needs a heavier cable to keep voltage steady, and if it crosses open ground it goes underground in conduit.
Many acreage homes already have a sub-board in the shed for lights, power tools or a pump. If it has spare capacity and is in good condition, the charger can be fed from there. If not, we run a new circuit from the main board or upgrade the shed supply, and price each option clearly so you can choose.
Some Burbank properties have three-phase power for workshops or pumps. If yours does and your car accepts more than 7kW on AC, an 11kW or 22kW charger becomes a real option. Most owners, though, are well served by single phase and an overnight charge.
Burbank conditions
Bushland and big trees are part of Burbank's character. When trenching, we plan routes around root zones and existing services such as water lines, and we mount chargers out of the way of falling branches and leaf litter where possible.
Pumps, workshops and solar systems are common on acreage, and each one changes how much of your supply is free. If you have panels, a solar-aware charger lets the car absorb surplus during the day; our solar EV charging page explains the options.
Because Burbank jobs vary so much, we usually visit before quoting. That lets us measure the run, check ground conditions and look at your existing boards, so the fixed price reflects the real job rather than an estimate from a distance.
How much does EV charger installation cost in Burbank?
Most Burbank installs start at $990 inc GST for a standard single-phase charger near the switchboard. Because many blocks here are larger, the cost often depends on how far the parking spot is from the board and whether trenching is needed. Connex Electrical quotes those items separately and in writing.
| Situation | Price |
|---|---|
| Attached garage near the switchboard | From $990 installed (inc GST) |
| Shed or detached garage with its own sub-board | Standard price plus cable, quoted from photos or a visit |
| Trenching across the block to the parking spot | Quoted per job |
| Existing three-phase supply for a faster 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.
How to pay less for a charger in Burbank
- Send photos of the main board, any shed sub-board and the route between them.
- If the shed already has a sub-board with spare capacity, the charger can often run from there.
- Pick the charger spot before trenching for anything else, so one trench can carry both.
- Park and charge in the garage nearest the house switchboard if you can. Trenching is the biggest extra on acreage.
Burbank is one of our further suburbs, roughly 38 km from Mango Hill and about 40 minutes away, so we schedule site visits and installs on set south-east days to keep travel efficient.

Common questions in Burbank
Do I need trenching for a charger in my Burbank shed?
Only if the cable has to cross open ground. If the shed is attached or there is a practical route along a fence or wall, we can avoid digging. Where trenching is needed, the cable goes in conduit at the depth required by the wiring rules, and we note the route for future reference. Trench length and ground conditions are priced separately.
What does it cost to install an EV charger in Burbank?
A standard single-phase install in Burbank 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 Burbank?
Charge in the garage nearest the main switchboard, so the install stays at the standard $990 inc GST. If the parking spot is further away, plan one trench for every service and use an existing shed sub-board if it has capacity. Every quote is fixed, so there are no surprises on the day.
Can an EV charger be installed outside?
Yes. Most wallboxes are rated for outdoor use, so a carport post or external wall is fine. We still look at placement: out of direct afternoon sun where possible, clear of where water pools, and where the cable reaches the charge port without stretching across a path. A pedestal mount works where there is no wall nearby.
Does the Queensland heat affect home charging?
A little. Chargers and cars can reduce charging speed when they get very hot, so a spot out of direct western sun is better for both the charger and the cable. A garage wall or shaded carport post is ideal. Charging overnight, when most people charge anyway, avoids the hottest part of the day entirely.
Can you install a charger I have already bought?
Yes. We install chargers bought elsewhere, including units from car dealers and online stores, as long as they are approved for sale in Australia. Send us the model when you request a quote so we can check its requirements, cable sizing and any network settings before we arrive.
