Homes, townhouses and workplaces in Murarrie
The residential side of Murarrie is a mix of older detached houses and newer townhouse and apartment complexes. For a house, the job is the familiar one: confirm the board can take a 32A circuit, measure the run from the meter box to the garage or carport, and mount a wallbox where the cable reaches the car comfortably. A 7kW single-phase charger covers almost any commute from here.
Townhouse owners need body corporate approval if the charger or its cabling touches common property, which in a shared garage block it usually does. We can map the route from your own meter and explain the billing so the committee can approve it with confidence.
Businesses are the other half of the suburb. If you run a site off the Gateway and staff or fleet vehicles are going electric, workplace charging is a different design problem: several bays, a three-phase supply, load sharing between cars and sometimes separate billing. Our commercial EV charger installation page explains how we approach it.
Murarrie site considerations
The Gateway Motorway runs right through Murarrie, linking the suburb to the airport and the northside over the Gateway Bridge, and Murarrie station on the Cleveland line serves commuters heading into the city. Fleet vehicles that run airport or port routes all day often need faster AC charging overnight, and three-phase supply on industrial units makes 11kW or 22kW realistic where the vehicles can accept it.
For homes, the main variable is board age. The older houses may need a switchboard upgrade before the charger circuit is added; the newer complexes usually have modern boards but limited spare capacity across the building.
Energex rules for home chargers changed in October 2026, and commercial sites still need checking against their connection. We sort out the requirements and any notification before work starts.
EV charger installation cost in Murarrie
Expect from $990 inc GST for a standard single-phase install in a Murarrie house or townhouse, with the charger extra. The price changes with distance from the switchboard and the board's condition, and apartment buildings are quoted per site. Connex Electrical puts every extra in a fixed written quote.
| Situation | Price |
|---|---|
| Garage or carport close to a modern switchboard | From $990 installed (inc GST) |
| Older board with fuses or no safety switches | Standard price plus a switchboard upgrade, quoted separately |
| 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 |
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.
How to pay less for a charger in Murarrie
- Ask your committee about a building-wide plan. Sharing one backbone costs less per bay than one-off installs.
- Mount the charger on the garage wall closest to the meter box. A shorter run is the easiest saving.
- Load management lets more chargers share the existing supply, avoiding a costly upgrade.
- Send clear photos of the switchboard and charger spot, so we can quote without a site visit.
Murarrie is about 25 km from Mango Hill and roughly 30 minutes straight down the Gateway, which makes it one of the easiest southside suburbs for us to reach.

Common questions in Murarrie
Can you install EV chargers at a Murarrie warehouse or office?
Yes. We assess the site's supply, usually three-phase, and design a layout for the number of bays you need now and later. Load management lets several chargers share the available capacity without tripping the main supply. We can also set up chargers that track usage per driver if staff are paying for their own charging.
What does it cost to install an EV charger in Murarrie?
A standard single-phase install in Murarrie 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 Murarrie?
For houses, keep the charger close to the switchboard and choose a 7kW single-phase unit, so the install stays at the standard $990 inc GST. For apartments, a shared, load-managed plan for the building costs less per bay than one-off installs. Every quote is fixed, so there are no surprises on the day.
Can I install an EV charger in my apartment car park?
Usually, but you need body corporate approval first. In Queensland, installing a charger on common property needs body corporate approval, and bodies corporate can make by-laws covering EV charging, metering and billing. We can supply a written proposal covering the circuit route, metering and load management that you can take to your committee, which makes approval much easier.
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.
