Is Your Apartment Becoming an 'EV Deadzone' That Future Buyers Will Avoid?
In 2026, a car space without a charger is basically a stranded asset. We’re already seeing Sydney apartments without charging infrastructure sit on the market longer and sell for less. You aren't just installing a plug; you’re protecting your property’s valuation.
We help committees and developers skip the ‘spaghetti wiring’ nightmare. Our team installs scalable backbone infrastructure so every bay can connect when they're ready without needing a $100k substation upgrade later!
We use smart load management to keep the lights on while 20+ cars charge, and our OCPP billing ensures residents pay for their own power, not the Strata. From NSW EV Ready grants to the final switch-on, we make sure your building doesn't get left behind.

Apartment Building Strata Approval & Consultation
Stop fighting the committee and start leading them. Getting EV charging into a Sydney apartment is now a legal right, not a request. Under the Sustainability Infrastructure Act, you’ve traded that 75% 'Special Resolution' for a simple 50% vote.
We’ll help you secure that 'Yes' and protect your unit’s resale value before the building becomes an EV deadzone.
👍 Grant Success
The NSW EV Ready grant is reaching its limit. We handle the full Stage 2 application to lock in that $80,000 in co-funding for your building’s backbone infrastructure before the funding pool runs dry.
👍 By-Law Templates
We provide the 'User Pays' legal frameworks that protect the Strata. These ensure individual owners cover their own electricity and software costs, stripping away the #1 objection from non-EV neighbours and making the 50% majority vote a non-event.
👍 Load-Profile Feasibility Reports
Before a single cable is run, we deliver the site surveys and load-profile data required to prove your building's main board can handle the evening surge without tripping a master fuse. We ensure your infrastructure is built for the 2026 demand, not the 1990s grid.
👍 AGM Support
You shouldn't have to argue with the board alone. We join your committee meetings or provide the professional pitch deck to answer the tough questions on thermal monitoring, automated billing, and phase balancing. We turn sceptical neighbours into supporters who realise that an ev-ready building is worth more than a deadzone.
Electric Vehicle Shared Load Management
Your building’s main switchboard wasn't built for 50 EVs, but that doesn't mean you need a $100k substation upgrade. Our Dynamic Load Management (DLM) acts as a traffic controller, watching your building’s power draw every second.
When the 6pm surge hits and everyone starts cooking, the system pulls back on the charging speeds to protect your main fuse. Once the building goes quiet overnight, or when your rooftop solar is in full swing, the power ramps back up. It’s the peace of mind that allows 20+ cars to charge fairly without ever risking a building-wide blackout.
Apartment EV Smart Billing & Cost Allocation
The biggest hurdle to Strata approval isn't hardware, it’s the admin. Our 'User Pays' software automates the entire billing cycle, so the Strata Manager never has to touch a spreadsheet or chase a resident for power money at the end of the quarter.
💳 Automated Reimbursement
Every kilowatt is tracked and credited back to the building’s account. The Strata never pays for a resident's fuel.
📱 The Driver App
Residents just plug in and pay via the app, exactly like using a public charger but without leaving their car space.
☀️ Solar Incentives
We can set cheaper "daytime rates" to use up your surplus solar, taking the pressure off the grid during that evening surge.
📋 Audit-Ready
Everything is GST-compliant and transparent. We provide the paper trail you need to shut down "who pays for what" arguments at the AGM.
‘Backbone’ vs. Individual EV Charger Installation
🩹 Individual ‘Quick Fixes’
One-off installs usually end in a headache. They’re expensive for the unit owner, messy for the building, and often get knocked back because they hog the building's spare capacity, leaving nothing for the next neighbour.
📈 The ‘Backbone’ Approach
This is the only scalable way forward. We install a high-capacity ‘spine’ through the car park that any resident can tap into when they’re ready. It ensures fair access for every owner and is the baseline requirement to unlock that $80,000 NSW EV Ready grant.
Charger Compliance & Australian Standards
Strata laws move fast. ‘Cowboy’ installs aren't just a nuisance; they’re a massive insurance liability. We ensure your building meets the latest AS 3000:2025 amendments, keeping your property value up and your premiums down.
🛡️ Fire Safety
Our hardware ‘talks’ to your building’s fire panel. If the system detects a fault, it shuts down charging instantly, well before you’re dealing with a real heat event.
🛡️ Insurance-Ready
We give your Strata Manager the full compliance pack they need for the annual renewal. This helps you avoid those new ‘EV surcharges’ insurers are slapping on unmanaged buildings.
🛡️ Legally Airtight
We make sure the project meets the ‘Reasonable Necessity’ test. This makes it much harder for a handful of owners to block the motion at your next AGM.
EV Charger Apartment-Specific Rebates
Navigating government grants is a bureaucratic nightmare, and criteria are tighter than ever. We handle the technical heavy lifting, like the load reports and energy audits, to make sure your building actually clears the bar for that $80,000.
💲 The $80k Backbone Grant
This covers up to 80% of the shared infrastructure. We design the system specifically to meet the NSW EV Ready requirements so you don’t miss out.
💲 Individual Offsets
On top of the main grant, there are usually incentives per charging port. We help residents claim these to keep their personal costs down.
💲 Capital Works Protection
Using these rebates means you can upgrade the whole car park without draining the building's savings or hitting owners with a massive special levy.
💲 End-to-End Support
We provide the exact load management reports and energy audits the government needs to ‘tick the box’ and release the funds.
Types of Chargers for Apartment Complexes
Not all chargers are created equal. For a Sydney strata block, the goal is overnight reliability, not petrol station speed. Here’s how we actually categorise the hardware for your car park:
Level 2 Smart AC Chargers (The Gold Standard)
These are the standard for 99% of apartment installs. They provide 7kW to 22kW of power, which comfortably refills any EV overnight.
❓ Why they work: They are compact, affordable, and most importantly, they’re fully load-managed. They 'talk' to each other to make sure the building's main fuse never trips, even if 20 people plug in at 6pm.
💥This is the exact tech required to clear the Fair Access hurdle for the NSW Grant.💥
🏆 Best for: Owners who want a permanent solution, not a stopgap.
Shared Fast Chargers (The Visitor Bay Solution)
If the building isn't ready for a full backbone, we can start with a high-output 22kW charger in a visitor bay. It’s a great 'Phase 1' that gives everyone access immediately while we prep the paperwork for the Stage 2 backbone grant.
❓ Why they work: It’s a great middle ground that allows residents to get a quick 1–2 hour top-up without the cost of a dedicated charger in their own spot.
🏆 Best for: Smaller blocks or as a Phase 1 pilot to show the Committee how the billing app handles the ‘user-pays’ side without any manual work for the Strata Manager.
DC Fast Chargers (The Public Grade Option)
You’ll see these at shopping centres, but they are rarely suitable for private apartments. They require massive amounts of power and expensive cooling systems, which usually triggers a $50k substation upgrade that most buildings just don't need when a smart AC system can refill every car while the owners sleep.
☝ Our Advice: Unless you’re managing a massive luxury precinct with its own substation, DC is overkill. We focus on Level 2 AC systems because they’re 10% of the cost and do the exact same job overnight, without the massive bill for a power upgrade.
