It starts with the site's supply. We check what the main board and supply can carry, then plan how many chargers fit and where.
Some chargers can share capacity, slowing down to stay within what the site has spare.

Body Corporates Maintain Common Property
A body corporate must maintain the common property in a good and structurally sound condition.
Lot Owner Improvements Need Approval
Under the Standard, Accommodation and Small Schemes modules, an owner's improvement to common property needs committee approval or, if the committee can't approve it, an ordinary resolution at a general meeting. The owner then maintains it.
A plain-English summary, not legal advice. Ask your body corporate manager which rules apply to your scheme.

Commercial EV Charger FAQ
Questions Gold Coast businesses, building managers and body corporates ask us about EV chargers.
How much does commercial EV charger installation cost?
It depends on the site, so we don't price it over the phone. The main factors are how many chargers you want, which models, the supply's spare capacity, the main switchboard's condition, and the cable run to each bay. We assess the site, then give you one fixed price before work starts. You pay on completion by EFTPOS. A deposit may be requested on multi-day jobs with over $5,000 in materials.
How many EV chargers can our site support?
It depends on the spare capacity of your supply and main switchboard, not just the number of bays. We check what the site already draws and what's left. Some chargers can manage load, slowing down to stay within the capacity available, which can let more bays charge from the same supply. We tell you what's realistic before we quote.
Can you install EV chargers we've already bought?
Yes. We can install chargers you've already bought, or supply them for you. Either way, we check the main board, the supply and the cable routes first, so we know the site can carry them. Any board or cabling work goes into one fixed price before work starts. We're also on the Clipsal and Evnex installer panels.
Do we need three-phase power for commercial EV chargers?
Not always. A 22kW AC charger needs three-phase supply, connected and switched across all three phases. On single-phase, a dedicated charger is typically up to about 7kW, which suits many workplaces where cars park for hours. Faster isn't always needed. We check your supply and how long vehicles stay, then recommend chargers that suit both.
Can our apartment building add EV chargers to the car park?
It depends on the building's supply and the body corporate. A body corporate must maintain common property, and under the Standard, Accommodation and Small Schemes modules, a lot owner's improvement to common property needs committee approval or, if the committee can't approve it, an ordinary resolution at a general meeting. Your body corporate manager can confirm what applies. We check the main board and cable routes and give the committee a fixed price.
Can we limit who uses the chargers?
On some models, yes. Some commercial chargers, including Evnex models, let you control who can charge with RFID tags and track use by user or charger. Features vary by brand and model, so tell us how the chargers will be used, by staff, fleet, residents or customers, and we'll factor that into the chargers we recommend and the fixed price.
What should we do if an EV catches fire in our car park?
Get people clear. The Queensland Fire Department says to keep everyone at least 30 metres from the vehicle, call 000, tell the operator it's an EV and give the make and model. Keep the vehicle's keys at least 30 metres away too. Damaged EV batteries can ignite hours or days later, so don't charge a damaged vehicle until it's been inspected.
Are you licensed for commercial EV charger installation?
Yes. We hold Queensland Electrical Contractor Licence 1511406, are fully insured, and are on the Clipsal and Evnex installer panels. The Queensland Fire Department says charging equipment should be installed by a qualified electrician to AS/NZS 3000. We test the work before the chargers are used, and it's backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty.
