EV Charger Installation Upper Kedron

Newer homes in Upper Kedron

A good share of Upper Kedron has been built in the last decade or two, on estates cut into the hills below the bushland of the D'Aguilar Range. Homes of that age generally come with a double garage, a switchboard with safety switches and room for another circuit, and often the meter box on the garage side of the house.

On a sloping block, though, the garage can sit at a different level to the board, and split-level designs sometimes send the cable through the ceiling space rather than along a straight wall. We check that from photos before quoting.

Families out here tend to drive more, with school runs, sport and longer trips to work. A 7kW single-phase charger covers that comfortably overnight. If a second EV is on the way, chargers with load sharing let both cars charge without lifting your supply.

Upper Kedron things to plan for

Rooftop solar is widespread on the newer roofs. Whether it helps charge the car depends on when the car is home: a solar-matched charger pays off if it sits in the garage during the day, and overnight scheduling is the better habit if it spends the day at work.

Ferny Grove station, at the end of its line, is close by for city commuters, which can cut weekday driving. Larger, older blocks towards the bush edge are a different job, with sheds and longer runs, and we quote those individually.

Ducted air conditioning is close to standard in newer homes, and on a hot evening it competes with the charger. Load management handles that without fuss.

   Installation day

   A licensed electrician fits the circuit and charger, typically in 2 to 4 hours.

4. Step 4

   Handover

   Testing, app setup, a test charge and your compliance certificate before we leave.

What an EV charger install costs in Upper Kedron

In Upper Kedron, most home EV charger installs come in at Connex Electrical's standard price of $990 inc GST, with the charger extra unless you already own one. What can add to it is distance from the switchboard to your parking spot, the condition of the board, and whether you want three-phase. All of that is priced upfront in writing.

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.

Affordable EV charger installation in Upper Kedron

• Send clear photos of the switchboard and charger spot, so we can quote without a site visit.
• Choose a 7kW single-phase charger. It suits almost every household and avoids three-phase costs.
• Mount the charger on the garage wall closest to the meter box. A shorter run is the easiest saving.
• If a second EV is coming, size the cable for it now rather than paying for a second callout later.
