Larger homes in Fig Tree Pocket
Fig Tree Pocket has some of the bigger residential blocks this close to the city, wrapped in a loop of the Brisbane River. Homes range from established family houses to substantial recent builds, many with double or triple garages. That size is an advantage: there is usually wall space for a charger exactly where you want it.
The main questions are capacity and future-proofing. A large home with ducted air conditioning, a pool and perhaps a home office already draws a lot at peak times. Adding one charger is usually fine. Adding two needs load sharing so both cars charge overnight without exceeding your supply. We plan the cable and circuits with that in mind from the start.
Some newer homes here were built with three-phase power. If yours has it and your cars can accept 11kW or 22kW on AC, faster charging is possible. Many drivers find 7kW is all they need overnight.
Fig Tree Pocket details we plan for
Fig Tree Pocket is home to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, and the suburb keeps a quiet, leafy feel despite being minutes from Kenmore and Indooroopilly. The Centenary Motorway runs along its western side, which makes trips into the city or out west quick.
In larger homes the switchboard is often a long way from the garage, sometimes on another level. We route cable through ceiling spaces or under floors where we can, so the finished job looks tidy. Where a route through the house is not possible, an external run in painted conduit is the fallback.
Tesla owners here often ask about the Wall Connector. Our Tesla Wall Connector installation page covers what it can and cannot do, including charging other brands.

How much does EV charger installation cost in Fig Tree Pocket?
Expect to pay from $990 inc GST for a standard single-phase charger install in Fig Tree Pocket, 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 |
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.
Keeping your Fig Tree Pocket install affordable
- 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.
- Choose a 7kW single-phase charger. It suits almost every household and avoids three-phase costs.

Your questions, answered
Can my Fig Tree Pocket home charge two EVs at once?
Yes. Two chargers with load sharing, or one twin-outlet unit, let both cars charge overnight while staying within your supply limit. If your home has three-phase power, each car can potentially charge faster. We assess your existing loads, such as air conditioning and pool equipment, and plan the circuits so both cars are full by morning.
How much does EV charger installation cost in Fig Tree Pocket?
A standard single-phase install in Fig Tree Pocket 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 Fig Tree Pocket?
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 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.
Do I need three-phase power to charge an EV at home?
No. Most Brisbane homes are single phase, and a single-phase 32A charger delivers up to about 7.4kW, enough to refill a typical daily commute in two or three hours overnight. Three-phase only helps if your car can accept 11kW or 22kW on AC and you regularly need fast top-ups at home. We can tell you which applies to your car.
Which EV charger should I buy?
Choose on three things: whether you want solar-matched charging, whether you need an app and scheduling, and your budget. A Tesla Wall Connector suits Tesla owners and works with other EVs too. A Zappi or Wattpilot suits solar homes. Simpler units suit plain overnight charging. Tell us your car and setup and we will recommend two or three options.
