Towers on the point
From the cliffs to Main Street and down toward the tip of the peninsula, Kangaroo Point is mostly residential towers and older low-rise blocks. The older blocks, many from the 1960s to 80s, have small car parks and switchboards sized for a different era. Newer towers have more capacity but more owners competing for it.
In either case, a request for one charger is a good moment for the building to plan for many. A load-managed system lets dozens of cars share the spare capacity of the existing supply, charging slowly overnight rather than all at full power at once. Each bay can be added as its owner signs up, with usage billed to the right unit.
If your committee is not ready for that, an individual charger wired from your own meter is sometimes possible, especially where the meter room is close to your bay. We can look at both and tell you honestly which suits your building.
Kangaroo Point realities
Many units here are rented. Tenants need written approval from the owner, and the owner needs the body corporate's. A charger that stays with the unit can be a selling point for landlords, which helps the conversation.
The handful of houses left on the peninsula, mostly older timber homes on the side streets, are straightforward by comparison, provided there is off-street parking. They tend to be a standard circuit and wallbox, with a board check first.
With the Story Bridge leading straight into the city and the ferry close by, residents often drive only short distances. That makes slower, shared charging a perfectly workable answer. Our apartment and commercial charging page explains how building systems are set up and billed.
What an EV charger install costs in Kangaroo Point
For a townhouse with its own garage in Kangaroo Point, a standard EV charger install costs from $990 inc GST with Connex Electrical, plus the charger. Apartment installs are priced per building, because the cost depends on the car park route from your meter and body corporate requirements, so we quote them after a look at the site.
| 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 |
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.

Common questions in Kangaroo Point
Our Kangaroo Point block is from the 1970s. Can its supply handle EV chargers?
Usually some chargers, with load management. Older blocks often have limited spare capacity, so giving each charger a fixed share of a full 32A would overload the supply. A load manager watches total demand and shares what is left across charging cars. We check the switchroom and tell the committee how many bays the existing supply can support.
What does it cost to install an EV charger in Kangaroo Point?
A standard single-phase install in Kangaroo Point 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 Kangaroo Point?
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.
I am renting. Can I still get a charger installed?
Yes, with your landlord or agent agreeing in writing first. A wallbox is a fixed electrical installation, so the owner must approve it. Many landlords say yes because it adds value to the property. We can give you a quote and a short scope of works to send to your property manager.
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.
Can I charge two EVs at home?
Yes. You can fit two chargers that share the available power, or one charger and plan charging times. Many chargers support load sharing, so both cars charge overnight without overloading your supply. If you expect a second EV soon, mention it at quoting so we size the circuit and cable for it now and save a second callout later.
