For apartment residents, charging is often the biggest barrier to owning an electric vehicle. Running a private cable from your unit's meter to your bay can be difficult, expensive and inconsistent with other owners' plans. A better approach connects each bay's charger to a shared building backbone, a common cable or busway system designed for the whole car park, so every resident can add a charger when they need one.

A charger for an individual bay starts from $2,490 installed, where a compatible backbone is in place. This is an indicative starting price; the final fixed price is confirmed in writing after a site check and quote.

What's included

  • A check of your bay, the backbone connection point and the building's requirements
  • A smart EV charger, typically 7 kW, compatible with the building's load management
  • Connection from the backbone tap-off point to the charger
  • Usage metering or app-based reporting so charging can be billed to you
  • Configuration within the building's load management system
  • Installation by our licensed electricians, with testing and a certificate of compliance

Why Blue Energy Solar

Apartment charging works best when every charger follows the same rules. We install chargers that fit the building's backbone, load management and billing approach, so your charger does not create problems for neighbours or the strata manager. We work with the owners corporation, follow the building's by-laws and access requirements, and keep records the strata manager can rely on. If your building does not have a backbone yet, we can explain the options to the committee, including a building-wide EV charging backbone that makes future chargers simpler and fairer for everyone.

Recommended for

Apartment owners and residents whose building has, or is installing, a shared EV charging backbone.

Approval: installing a charger in a strata car park needs owners corporation approval, often through a by-law that sets out responsibilities for installation, maintenance, insurance and electricity costs.

No backbone yet: without a backbone, a charger may need a long cable run from your unit's meter or a separate arrangement, which usually costs more and may not be approved.

Charging speed: in shared car parks, load management may reduce charging speed at busy times so the building's supply is not exceeded.

Price drivers: distance from the backbone connection point, charger type, metering and mounting.

Directions

1. Request a quote and tell us your building, parking bay and vehicle.
2. We confirm backbone availability, building rules and owners corporation requirements.
3. You receive a fixed-price quote and any documents needed for approval.
4. Once approval is in place, our licensed electricians install and connect the charger.
5. We add the charger to the load management and billing system and show you the app.

Warnings

The price shown is an indicative starting price where a compatible backbone exists; the final fixed price is confirmed in writing after a site check and quote.
Owners corporation approval, and any required by-law, must be in place before installation.
The charger must be compatible with the building's load management and billing system.
Charging speed may be reduced by load management when building demand is high.
Buildings without a backbone require a separate assessment and quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

That depends on the building's arrangement. Common options include a meter or app that records each charger's usage so the owners corporation can recover the cost, or a supply linked to the owner's own account. The method is usually set out in a by-law. We install chargers that fit the building's chosen approach.

Sometimes, but it is usually harder. A private cable from your unit's meter to your bay may cross common property, need a long route and still require owners corporation approval. Many committees prefer a planned backbone so every owner is treated consistently. We can assess both paths and give the committee clear information.

It may at peak times, for example on winter evenings when many residents plug in at once. Load management shares the available supply fairly and speeds charging up again as building demand falls. Because cars usually stay parked overnight, most vehicles can still be well charged by morning.

Usually the owner who paid for it owns the charger, while the by-law sets responsibilities for maintenance, repairs, insurance and what happens if the unit is sold. Arrangements vary between buildings, so check your by-law or ask the strata manager. We provide the manufacturer warranty and installation details in writing for your records.
