Amplus Electrical & Air installs home and commercial EV chargers across Capalaba, the Redlands and
Brisbane Bayside. A typical 7kW single-phase home charger costs from around $1,200–$3,000 installed,
including a dedicated circuit and compliance testing; 22kW three-phase units cost more and need
three-phase power. Most installs finish in 3–5 hours. Every job is completed by a licensed QLD
electrician (Licence #1500996), complies with AS/NZS 3000 and 61851, includes a Certificate of Compliance, and we
handle the required Energex notification for you.
Honest, upfront pricing. Here is what most Bayside homeowners pay — your exact quote depends on your switchboard, cable run and charger choice.
Home charging is up to 70% cheaper than public fast chargers — and in sunny South East Queensland (280+ sunny days a year) a solar-integrated charger lets you run your car on excess solar for next to nothing.
Wake up to a full battery every morning. No detours, no queues, no per-kWh premiums.
Most Bayside homes run single-phase power and a 7kW charger is the perfect match. Here is the honest comparison.

Dedicated circuit, charger mounted, Energex notification lodged for you, RCD protection fitted to AS/NZS 3000.
Full compliance testing, Certificate of Compliance issued, and you’re charging the same day.
EV charger installation isn’t a plug-and-play job. Here’s what Queensland law actually requires in 2026 — and what we handle for you.
Most standard 7kW chargers draw above 20A single-phase, which under Energex’s rules must be lodged with the network before installation and set up with proper load management. We lodge that Energex connection for you and configure your charger correctly so you don’t have to.
Every job comes with a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW), issued automatically. If an installer hedges on this, walk away — you’re paying for proof the work is safe and legal.
We fit OCPP-capable chargers that meet the new demand-response rules, so your install is future-proof and network-compliant from day one.
QLD Electrical Licence #1500996. Every install meets AS/NZS 3000 (Wiring Rules) and AS/NZS 61851 (EV charging), with proper earthing and RCD protection.
This is the part most installers gloss over — and getting it wrong means a non-compliant install or a charger that’s quietly capped. Here’s the honest version.
In South East Queensland, a single-phase EV charger that draws more than 20 amps (that’s a standard 32A / 7.4kW unit) can’t simply be wired up at full power. Energex requires it to have active load management — a way to control how much power it pulls — so thousands of EVs charging at dinnertime don’t overload the local network. If your charger can’t regulate its own draw, we sort out the right connection so you stay compliant.
Simplest, no extra hardware. The charger is set so it can’t exceed 20A — still adds ~25km of range per hour, plenty for most daily driving. Fully compliant out of the box.
A network control device lets you charge at the full 7.4kW. Energex can briefly ease back charging during peak grid demand — you barely notice it overnight.
Full 32A charging at cheaper off-peak rates via a control device. Supply switches off during set daytime periods, so it’s best for overnight-only charging (not solar).
If your home has three-phase power, these device-management rules don’t apply the same way — you can run a 22kW charger for much faster charging.
Not sure what your charger or home supports? That’s exactly what Aaron works out for you — we check your charger’s load-management capability and set up the right Energex connection so you get the fastest safe charge your setup allows. Call 0419 014 146

Common questions from Brisbane Bayside & Redlands homeowners.
A typical 7kW single-phase home charger costs from around $1,200 to $3,000 installed across Brisbane Bayside, including the charger, a dedicated circuit and compliance testing. 22kW three-phase units cost more. If your switchboard needs upgrading first, allow an extra $500 to $1,500. We always give a clear, upfront quote before any work begins.
No. Most Bayside homes run single-phase power and a 7kW single-phase charger fully charges a typical EV overnight (4 to 8 hours). Three-phase 22kW charging is faster but needs a three-phase supply, which many homes don’t have. Aaron checks your supply during the site assessment and recommends the right option.
You don’t need council approval, but since 2025 most standard 7kW chargers (which run above 20 amps) require notification to Energex, the South East Queensland network operator, before installation. This is notification, not approval, and we lodge it with Energex for you as a standard part of the job.
Yes. Smart chargers like the Fronius Wattpilot and Zappi can be set to charge using excess solar power. With South East Queensland averaging 280+ sunny days a year, a typical 6.6kW solar system exports more than enough to charge your EV during daylight — meaning you drive on virtually free electricity.
It depends on your switchboard’s age and capacity. Many older Bayside and Redlands homes built between the 1970s and 1990s have boards that can’t safely support an extra 7kW to 22kW load, especially fuse-based boards. Aaron assesses this during the site visit and tells you upfront if an upgrade is needed.
Most standard home installations take 3 to 5 hours, including running the dedicated circuit, mounting the charger and compliance testing. If a switchboard upgrade is also required, allow a full day. Aaron completes most residential jobs in a single visit, so you can start charging the same evening.
Legally, any licensed electrician can, but experience matters. EV chargers need correct switchboard assessment, load calculations and Energex notification. Amplus holds QLD Electrical Licence #1500996 and installs chargers regularly, and every job includes a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work.
It depends on your car, your home and whether you have solar. We install all major brands including Tesla Wall Connector, Fronius Wattpilot, Wallbox Pulsar Plus, ABB Terra AC and Ocular. We can also install a unit you’ve bought yourself, as long as it meets Australian safety standards. Aaron gives honest advice with no brand lock-in.
In South East Queensland, Energex requires any single-phase charger drawing more than 20 amps (a standard 32A/7.4kW unit) to have active load management. If your charger can’t regulate its own current draw, it must either be set to a 20A (4.6kW) limit, or connected with a network control device or load-control tariff to run at the full 7.4kW. Three-phase chargers up to 22kW aren’t subject to the same device rules. We check your charger’s capability and set up the right Energex connection for you.
