EV charging is a crucial
component to meet
Australia’s net-zero by 2050 target. Join the
movement towards
reduced greenhouse gas
emissions by supporting
the technology designed to
do so.
If you’re offering your
tenants the convenience of
a residential EV charger, or
your customers are able to
charge their EV while they
shop, an EV charging
station can give you a
valuable point of difference
from your competition.
Having EV charging
facilities not only raises the
value of your property, but
makes it future proof as
numbers of EVs rise.
Not only is the cost of EV
charging significantly less
than skyrocketing petrol
prices, but EV charging
provides you with the
control to take advantage
of off peak periods or
leverage excess solar
energy.

This depends on your driving habits. For daily commutes and home use, a Level 1 or 2 charger will suffice. If you frequently travel long distances, you might benefit from access to Level 3 or 4 DC fast chargers for quicker recharges.
Yes, charging your EV will increase your electricity usage. However, compared to traditional fuel costs, charging an electric vehicle is generally much more economical, especially if you use off-peak electricity or solar power.
The cost varies based on your location, energy provider, and charging setup. Charging at home is generally cheaper, especially if done during off-peak hours. Public charging stations may have varying fees depending on the speed and location. On average, home charging is significantly less expensive than fueling a gas-powered car.
If you’re using a Level 1 charger, no special equipment is needed beyond a standard 240V outlet. For faster Level 2 charging, you will need a professionally installed charging station connected to a dedicated circuit.
With proper maintenance, most EV chargers can last 10 years or more. It’s important to regularly check the charger for wear and tear and ensure it remains compliant with any updates in local safety regulations.
Yes, EV chargers can be shared, but it’s important to manage usage to ensure charging availability. Some systems allow multiple vehicles to charge sequentially or feature smart scheduling to avoid conflicts, especially in shared residential or commercial spaces.
Bi-directional charging allows EV owners to use their vehicle’s battery to power their home (vehicle-to-home) or send energy back to the grid (vehicle-to-grid). This feature is not available on all vehicles but is becoming increasingly popular as part of energy management solutions.
Modern EVs have built-in safeguards to prevent overcharging. The charging process automatically stops when the battery reaches full capacity, protecting your vehicle and charger.
Installing EV chargers in strata buildings can increase property value and attract environmentally-conscious tenants. It future-proofs the building as electric vehicles become more prevalent. Shared chargers with load management technology ensure efficient energy use and equitable access, making it easier for residents to adopt EVs.
In new commercial builds, integrating EV chargers during construction is more cost-effective and ensures that the infrastructure is future-proof. EV chargers can be installed with advanced energy management systems that handle multiple charging stations, allowing businesses to offer fast, reliable charging to customers or employees, while minimising energy costs through smart load balancing.
Installing EV charging stations can attract EV-driving customers, tenants, or employees, providing a competitive edge. For businesses, it opens up an additional revenue stream through pay-per-use systems, while promoting sustainability and supporting corporate social responsibility initiatives. EV charging services also enhance property value and future-proof commercial facilities.
Yes, you can install multiple EV chargers at home, but it may require an upgraded electrical panel to handle the increased load. Professional electricians can assess your home’s capacity and install additional chargers while ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
AC charging uses alternating current (AC) from the grid and converts it to direct current (DC) inside the vehicle. This is typically slower and used in Level 1 and Level 2 chargers. DC fast charging (Level 3 & 4) delivers direct current directly to the vehicle’s battery, allowing much faster charging times by bypassing the onboard converter.
Most modern EVs are compatible with DC fast chargers, but some older models may require an adapter. Your vehicle’s manual will specify its charging capability, and public charging stations often provide information on which types of vehicles are supported.
