Apartments and houses in Nundah
Apartment blocks have gone up around Nundah station and the Sandgate Road village over recent years, and residents there are now asking how to charge at home. The short answer is: through the body corporate. Car parks are common property or run on shared wiring, so installation needs approval, and buildings increasingly want a planned approach rather than one-off chargers.
For an individual owner, we prepare a proposal showing where power would come from, how use is metered and billed, and whether load management is needed. For a committee looking at the whole building, we start with a load assessment so the first few chargers do not use up capacity needed for later ones.
Outside the apartment core, Nundah is classic northside housing: Queenslanders, post-war timber homes and some 1970s brick. Those installs follow a familiar pattern, a dedicated circuit from the board to a wallbox in the garage or carport, with the board's condition the main variable.
EV charger installation cost in Nundah
A standard EV charger installation in Nundah costs from $990 inc GST with Connex Electrical for a house or townhouse garage, plus the charger. Older switchboards, long runs and three-phase chargers add to that, and apartment bays are quoted per building. Every job gets a fixed written price first.
| 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 |
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.

Nundah notes
Nundah station is on the main northern line, with frequent trains to the city, and Sandgate Road runs straight through the village. Plenty of residents take the train to work and drive mostly on weekends, which suits slow overnight charging and means a modest charger will do.
If you rent, a charger needs the owner's written consent as well as body corporate approval. A written quote and scope from us can help start that conversation with your property manager.
House owners with older boards should read our switchboard upgrade page before budgeting, since that is the most common extra cost on character homes. We price it separately so you can see where the money goes.

Nundah EV charging FAQs
Our Nundah apartment building has no EV chargers. Where does the committee start?
With a load assessment of the building's electrical supply. That shows how much spare capacity exists for charging and whether load management is needed. From there, the committee can choose individual metered circuits or a shared system with billing through charger software, and stage it as demand grows. We provide the assessment and a fixed quote for the first stage.
How much does EV charger installation cost in Nundah?
A standard single-phase install in Nundah 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 Nundah?
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.
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.
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.
