EV Charging for Apartment BuildingsSmart, Scalable and
Do you want to...
Avoid Electrical Upgrades
Add EV charging to your apartment building safely within existing electrical capacity.
Provide Fair Resident Access
Ensure tenants have convenient, equitable, and reliable access without charger queuing.
Automate Cost Recovery
Accurately meter and recover tenant charging costs directly from common power.
Opportunities and Challenges
Rapid EV Adoption
Plug-in electric vehicles accounted for 36% of Australia’s new car sales in August 2026.
Economic & Environmental Wins
Electrification cuts running costs and transport emissions, making charging capability a key asset for modern multi-dwelling developments.
Shared Infrastructure Constraints
Existing buildings rarely have surplus capacity in shared car parks, meaning unmanaged charging rapidly leads to tripped mains and costly grid upgrades.
Accurate Cost Tracking
Owners Corporations require transparent, verifiable sub-metering to allocate electricity costs back to individual vehicle owners.
Secure Access & Automated Reconciliation
An integrated platform for session authentication, load arbitration, and automated billing is critical to scalable multi-tenant charging.
Access is Everything
Ubiquitous charging infrastructure eliminates the friction of shared living. When drivers are forced to share a tiny pool of chargers, queuing and manual vehicle swaps waste time. inCharge provides an affordable, scalable network built for automated convenience.
Combined Energy inCharge EV Outlet
The inCharge EV outlet is a simple, cost-effective way to provide dedicated charging across common parking spaces. It dynamically coordinates 10A and 15A plug-in vehicle chargers alongside high-power Level 2 units within the building's available electrical capacity.
Residents simply plug in and tap their RFID card or use the mobile app to authenticate. Beyond EV parking bays, the outlet serves as a drop-in replacement for standard common-area sockets—delivering secure access control and automated cost recovery for any appliance.
The inCharge Advantage
Simplify Installation
Add multiple EV charging points without costly electrical upgrades. Smart load management scales charging safely within existing capacity.
Maximise Access
Provide equitable, convenient charging access via RFID or the mobile app, eliminating queues and manual charger rotation.
Prevent Power Theft
Secure common-area socket outlets with authenticated access and the Portable Charger Adapter so only authorized residents draw power.
Recover Charging Costs
Streamline tenant billing with detailed energy reporting, making cost recovery transparent, auditable, and effortless for management.
No Wi-Fi / No Ethernet
No Wi-Fi or Ethernet required for the inCharge system. Power Line Communications is used to communicate with the inCharge EV Outlet.
Level 1 and Level 2 Charging
Level 1 charging is the ideal low-cost high-access solution for apartments. The inCharge EV Outlet provides 10A and 15A charging for as many parking bays as required.
Compliance & installation
Technical guidance for electricians and building managers planning compliant EV charging installations in multi-residential buildings.
