BRIX Electrical and Air installs single-phase and three-phase EV chargers for homes across Ipswich. Energex estimates that around 90% of Queensland homes run single-phase power, so a 7.4kW charger on a dedicated circuit covers the majority of driveways. Homes with three-phase supply, larger battery capacity, or two cars to charge can go up to a three-phase unit instead.
Every installation includes a dedicated circuit and correct switchboard protection, handled by BRIX Electrical and Air from the first site visit through to testing and handover. See the full range of residential electrical services BRIX Electrical and Air provides across Ipswich.
Installing an EV charger in Ipswich is not just a matter of running a cable. Energex, the network operator across the region, has rules that govern how much current a home charger can draw, and they changed in April 2024.
Under QECM Version 4, any single-phase EV charger drawing above 20A requires Active Device Management (ADM). That covers the common 7.4kW / 32A charger most Ipswich homes ask for.
It doesn’t mean you can’t install one. It means there are specific connection pathways your electrician has to follow, and BRIX Electrical and Air handles that as part of every quote, not as an extra.
There are three compliance pathways for an Ipswich home, and BRIX Electrical and Air picks the right one for yours:
BRIX Electrical and Air lodges the Electrical Work Request with Energex on every EV installation, at no extra cost and no added delay. You don’t manage that process yourself.
Three brands cover most of the EV charger installations BRIX Electrical and Air handles in Ipswich. The right one depends on what’s already running in your home.
SolaX
No solar or battery yet. SolaX is the standard pick, handling scheduling and load limiting without any extra complication.
Sungrow
Already running Sungrow solar or battery. A Sungrow charger keeps everything in the one app and the one ecosystem, which matters once you’re managing solar, battery and charging together.
Sigenergy
Already on Sigenergy. The Sigenergy charger sits inside the same gateway, so solar, battery and charging all run from one dashboard.
If you already have solar, the brand question matters more than it looks. Solar divert charging, using surplus solar before drawing from the grid, only works when the charger sits on the correct Energex pathway with CT metering installed. BRIX Electrical and Air’s solar battery installation team can confirm compatibility before you order.

One team for the electrical, solar, and switchboard work behind the charger
No. Most homes in the area run single-phase power, and a 7.4kW single-phase charger covers most daily driving comfortably. Three-phase only matters if your car’s onboard charger accepts 11kW or more, or you already have three-phase supply at the property and want to use it.
It depends on the board. Homes with ceramic fuses or no spare circuit space usually need attention first, and BRIX Electrical and Air sees this often on older Ipswich properties. Newer builds usually already have enough spare capacity on the existing board. The site visit confirms which applies to your home.
Cost depends on your switchboard’s condition, the cable run from the board to your parking space, and whether you need single or three-phase supply. BRIX Electrical and Air provides a fixed, written quote after a short site visit, so you know the full cost before any work starts.
Yes, in most cases. Under Queensland’s QECM rules, a single-phase EV charger drawing more than 20A needs Active Device Management, which covers most 7.4kW home chargers. BRIX Electrical and Air handles the compliance pathway and lodges the Electrical Work Request with Energex on your behalf, at no extra cost.
Yes, with the right setup. Charging your EV from solar during the day means correct metering and a charger on the primary tariff with ADM. BRIX Electrical and Air’s solar battery installation team can confirm whether your existing system supports this before installation.
Call (07) 3060 9100 or send an enquiry through the contact form with your address and a note on your car. A short site visit comes first, followed by a fixed-price written quote, with no cost and no obligation to book from the quote itself.
BRIX Electrical and Air is family owned and Ipswich based since 2021, and does not use subcontractors. The same licensed crew that visits for the quote does the install, so there is one point of contact from start to finish.
