Shared EV charging is the ideal first step for apartment buildings looking to support electric vehicle owners without committing to full-scale infrastructure. By utilising existing spaces, such as visitor parking or a wash bay, buildings can provide immediate access to EV charging while keeping costs low and flexibility high.
This allows multiple residents and guests to access charging without the need to install infrastructure in every individual car space. It’s a practical, scalable solution for buildings starting their EV journey.
Starting with shared EV charging gives your building an immediate solution without locking you into a large upfront investment. It provides EV owners with access to charging today, while giving strata committees time to understand demand, manage costs, and plan for long-term infrastructure. It’s a practical first step that balances convenience, cost, and future readiness.
Avoid the upfront cost of full backbone infrastructure while still providing EV charging access.
Minimal upgrades required, meaning quicker implementation and less disruption to residents.
A smart first step while planning for long-term EV infrastructure across the building.
This apartment building in Rhodes took a simple, practical approach by converting two visitor car spaces into dedicated EV charging bays. This gave residents immediate access to charging without the need for major infrastructure upgrades.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to EV charging in apartment buildings. The right solution depends on your building’s electrical capacity, your residents’ charging needs, and your available budget. That’s why we offer three proven infrastructure pathways. We work closely with strata committees to assess your building and guide you toward the right approach, not just for today, but for the future as EV demand continues to grow.
Allocating one or more common/visitor car spaces for EV charging. A good entry level solution for Owners Corporations that want to provide EV charging facilities and are happy to have a shared resource. It is also a good interim solution to give residents access to charging while the committee approves backbone infrastructure which would allow all residents to have a charging station in their individual car space.
Level 1 charging involves installing intelligent power points in individual car spaces, giving residents the ability to charge while maintaining flexibility for other uses. They have integrated load management a billing capabilities.
Implementing the infrastructure to allow all residents to have an EV charging station in their car spaces. This involves the strata paying for the backbone infrastructure and then the resident paying for the connection of their EV charging station to the backbone infrastructure. Residents would get approximately 40km range per hour of charging.
