Charging in a new Greenstone home
New houses in Greenstone are built to current wiring rules, with modern switchboards, safety switches on every circuit and, usually, a double garage near the meter box. That combination makes a charger install about as easy as it gets, often finished in a couple of hours.
If your house is still being built, ask your builder whether they can leave spare space on the switchboard and conduit from the board to the garage. That is not the same as installing a charger, but it makes the later job quicker and cheaper. We can fit the charger once you have the keys.
Even new boards have limits. With ducted air conditioning, induction cooking and a pool all likely in a new family home, we still check total demand and may recommend a charger with load management. It keeps the main breaker from tripping on a hot evening.
Things to know in a new estate
New estates often come with design guidelines or covenants. A charger inside your own garage is rarely an issue, but anything visible from the street, such as a pedestal in the front yard, may need checking against those rules first.
New Queensland connections generally come with a smart meter, which opens up time-of-use plans for cheaper overnight charging. If you are adding solar, our solar EV charging page explains how to pair it with a charger. Keep your builder's warranty in mind too: we install to the required standard, and you get a Certificate of Testing and Compliance for the work.
If you are moving in with an EV already, tell us your car model when you book. We set up the charger and app for it on the day.

EV charger installation cost in Greenstone
A standard single-phase EV charger installation in Greenstone costs from $990 inc GST with Connex Electrical, plus the charger if you need one. Most Greenstone houses pay just that. The price only rises for a long cable run, an older switchboard that needs upgrading, or a three-phase charger, and you see any extra in a fixed written quote first.
| 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.
How to pay less for a charger in Greenstone
- If a second EV is coming, size the cable for it now rather than paying for a second callout later.
- Mount the charger on the garage wall closest to the meter box. A shorter run is the easiest saving.
- Choose a 7kW single-phase charger. It suits almost every household and avoids three-phase costs.
- Already have a charger from the dealer? We install it, so you only pay for installation.
Greenstone is about 21 km from Mango Hill, roughly a 25 minute drive, and we are happy to book an install soon after handover.

Your questions, answered
Should I get my Greenstone builder to install the charger?
You can, but builders often offer a limited range of chargers, and their price may not include setup for your car and app. A good middle path is asking the builder for a spare switchboard position and conduit to the garage, then having us install the charger you choose after handover. That keeps your options open and the cost clear.
How much does EV charger installation cost in Greenstone?
A standard single-phase install in Greenstone 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 Greenstone?
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.
Should I get a 7kW or 22kW charger?
For most homes, 7kW is the right choice. It works on single-phase power and fully charges most EVs overnight. A 22kW charger needs three-phase supply and only charges faster if your car supports 22kW AC, which many models do not; several are capped at 7kW or 11kW. Spending extra on 22kW rarely pays off for a single household car.
