Apartment EV Charging
Different Options for Implementing EV Charging Solutions in Apartment Buildings
The feasibility and costs of each option will differ significantly based on factors like current power supply, electrical infrastructure, parking design, and owners' preferences for EV charging equipment. Therefore, prior to approving EV charger installations in strata apartments, we advise conducting a feasibility assessment to determine the best solution for the building.
Future Charging Solutions offers comprehensive and customised EV charging solutions for strata buildings, taking into account the preferences of apartment owners, body corporates, and committee members. We recognise the unique challenges EV owners face in accessing convenient charging options and are committed to addressing these needs with tailored solutions. Partner with Future Charging Solutions to provide your residents with reliable and accessible charging infrastructure, boosting the appeal and sustainability of your property.
Making the Whole Building EV Ready
Equipping the entire building with the infrastructure to support EV charging involves installing electrical capacity, cabling, and outlets throughout the property. This ensures that all residents have the potential to install individual EV chargers at their parking spots in the future .This option is only applicable if there is enough power in the building
Future-Proofing: Prepares the building for the increasing adoption of EVs, potentially increasing property value.
Scalability: Easily allows for the addition of more chargers as EV adoption grows among residents.
Uniformity: Provides a standardized infrastructure across the building, reducing future installation complexities.
Installing EV Chargers in Some Car Parks for Certain Residents
Selective installation involves setting up EV chargers in specific parking spots assigned to certain residents. This can be done based on demand or as a premium service.
Targeted Approach: Meets the immediate needs of EV-owning residents without overcommitting resources.
Revenue Potential: Can be offered as a premium service, generating additional income for the strata.
Manageable Scope: Easier to manage and monitor a limited number of chargers.
Installing EV Chargers in Common Areas
Some strata apartment buildings may not have the power capacity to support EV chargers in every parking space without overloading the system. Placing EV chargers in common areas, such as visitor parking spots or dedicated charging bays, offers a shared resource for residents and addresses their charging needs effectively.
These chargers can be managed by the committee or building manager and used on a first-come, first-served basis or through a booking system.
Cost-Effective: Lower initial cost compared to outfitting the entire building.
Flexibility: Residents can charge their EVs without needing personal installations.
Community Benefit: Enhances the amenity offerings of the property.
