Fitting a charger where space is tight
Woody Point is one of the most closely settled suburbs on the peninsula, and that shapes where a charger can go and how the cable gets there.
The suburb covers only about 1.7 square kilometres yet holds around 4,500 people, roughly 2,680 per square kilometre. Woody Point Jetty, first built in 1888 and rebuilt in 2008, the heritage-listed Memorial Hall on Hornibrook Esplanade and three headlands (Woody Point, Picnic Point and Scotts Point) all sit within that small footprint. Blocks are compact, driveways are short and many homes have a single garage, a narrow carport or parking straight off the street.
In those conditions the charger has to sit where you can plug in without the cable crossing a footpath, a doorway or a walkway. We look at which side of the car the charging port is on, how you reverse in, and whether the charger could be knocked by a bin, a bike or a car door. A tidy cable holster and a compact charger make a bigger difference here than in a double garage.
Some properties have been redeveloped into multi-unit dwellings, including the former St Mark's Anglican Church site. Where parking is shared, approval and metering come first, and we can help you prepare for that.
Our crew drives down from our Mango Hill base to the south-east corner of the peninsula. Connex Electrical was established in 2014 and is led by Darren Standring, a qualified electrician since 1997. Also see Air conditioning installation in Woody Point and Electrician Woody Point.
Choosing the charger position on a small block
We match the charger to your car's port location and parking direction, keep the cable clear of walkways, and mount it so it will not be hit by doors or bins. A wall-mounted holster keeps the lead coiled off the floor.
If the only practical spot is an exterior wall facing the street, we use a lockable charger or one with app-based access control so it cannot be used by passers-by.
Getting the cable from the board to the car
In older, compact homes the board is often on the opposite side of the house from the parking. We look for the neatest route through the roof space or under the floor, so you are not left with conduit running across a feature wall.
The standard install covers a normal run, and each extra metre is $25. We measure it on site and include it in your written quote.
Strata properties and shared driveways
If your home is part of a small unit complex, the driveway and parking may be common property. A short, clear proposal usually gets approval quickly. Our strata EV charging guide explains what to include.

What it costs in Woody Point
The main variable on a compact block is the cable route, so we measure it before you get a price.
The standard install of your own single-phase 7 kW charger is a fixed $990 incl. GST. If the parking is further from the board than a standard run, extra cable is $25 per metre. A dedicated RCBO adds $180 to $400 incl. GST where the board needs one.
Older boards without space for a new circuit may need upgrading at $1,320 to $3,850 incl. GST. Want a feel for running costs? Read EV charging cost vs petrol in Brisbane.

Woody Point EV charger FAQs
I only have a single garage in Woody Point. Where should the charger go?
Usually on the wall closest to your car's charging port, mounted so the door and bins cannot hit it. We check your parking direction before deciding. A compact charger with a wall holster keeps the space usable.
Can I install a charger if I park on the street?
Not on the street itself, as cables cannot cross a public footpath. If you have off-street parking on your property, even a narrow driveway, we can usually find a suitable spot.
Can the charger be on a wall that faces the street?
Yes. We recommend a lockable charger or one with app access control so only you can start a charge. It still gets the usual weather-rated mounting.
What if my switchboard is at the other end of the house?
We look for a route through the roof space or under the floor. Anything beyond the standard run is $25 per metre, measured and quoted before work starts.
How much does an EV charger install cost in Woody Point?
From $990 incl. GST, fixed, for a standard single-phase 7 kW install with a charger you supply. Extra cable and any board upgrade are quoted in writing.
How long will the install take?
A standard install is usually done in a few hours. Longer hidden cable routes can add time. Our installation timing guide has more detail.
Do I need an Energex approval?
Some installs need an Energex electrical work request. Where it is required, we lodge it for you.
