Powering Up: What Body Corporates Need to Know About Retrofitting EV Chargers

As electric vehicles become the norm, apartment buildings face a new challenge: how to provide charging without overloading the building’s power or creating legal headaches. Retrofitting EV chargers is more than just plugging in a car; it requires a strategic, building-wide approach.

Our latest guide breaks down the essential steps for Body Corporate committees to transition to an EV-ready future safely and efficiently.

• Assess Capacity First: Learn why a professional electrical capacity assessment is the non-negotiable first step to avoid expensive infrastructure upgrades.
• Smart Over Simple: Discover why "Mode 3" smart chargers are the gold standard for apartments, offering load management and safety features that standard plugs simply can’t match.
• Clear Rules & Ownership: Understand how to define who owns the infrastructure versus the charger, and how to set up fair billing systems for electricity recovery.
• Manage Risk & Insurance: Get insights into what fire engineers and insurers are looking for, from professional installation standards to ongoing maintenance routines.
• Avoid the "One-Off" Trap: Find out why allowing individual, ad hoc installations can undermine your building’s long-term electrical health and how a unified standard protects all owners.
