Longer blocks, longer runs in Hendra
Many Hendra properties are deeper than the inner-north average, with a driveway running past the house to a garage or shed down the back. That layout means a longer cable from the switchboard, often through the subfloor of a raised home or in a trench beside the driveway. We price the run up front, sized for the distance so the charger still gets full power at the far end.
There are also plenty of new or rebuilt homes, some with a large modern board and occasionally three-phase supply. If you have three-phase and a car that accepts 11kW on AC, a three-phase charger can make sense. If not, single-phase 7kW still fills a typical car overnight.
We confirm which applies when quoting, after a look at your board and the car you drive. Three-phase chargers also need checking against your Energex connection, which we take care of.
Around Hendra: stables, sheds and solar
Hendra is known for its racehorse stables, and some properties still have stable buildings, sheds or workshops with their own sub-boards. If your car will live in a shed, we check whether that sub-board has the capacity and protection for a charger, or whether a new circuit straight from the main board is the cleaner option.
Big roofs suit big solar systems. If you have panels, a solar-aware charger can use what would otherwise be exported in the middle of the day. Hendra station on the Doomben line and Nudgee Road give quick access to the city and the airport, so some households only need occasional charging and can lean heavily on solar.

EV charger installation cost in Hendra
Expect to pay from $990 inc GST for a standard single-phase charger install in Hendra, 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.
Keeping your Hendra install affordable
- Mount the charger on the garage wall closest to the meter box. A shorter run is the easiest saving.
- Already have a charger from the dealer? We install it, so you only pay for installation.
- If a second EV is coming, size the cable for it now rather than paying for a second callout later.
- Charge overnight on an off-peak tariff, or from surplus solar, to keep running costs low.
Hendra is about 21 km from Mango Hill, roughly 25 minutes via the Gateway Motorway when traffic is moving. Being on the northside ourselves, we can usually fit in a site check without much notice.

Your questions, answered
Can I run a charger from the sub-board in my Hendra shed?
Sometimes. It depends on the size of the cable feeding the shed, the protection on the sub-board and what else runs from it, such as lights, a fridge or tools. If the existing feed is too small, we run a dedicated circuit from the main switchboard instead. We confirm which option is safer and better value before quoting.
How much does EV charger installation cost in Hendra?
A standard single-phase install in Hendra 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 Hendra?
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.
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.
Do I need Energex approval to install an EV charger?
Energex rules for home EV chargers changed in October 2026, and we check the current requirements for your connection and lodge any notification Energex needs. For a typical single-phase home charger you do not need to apply for anything yourself. Three-phase chargers and multi-charger sites can need more checks against your connection, and we work through those before installation day.
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.
