Get charging into the car park.

Get EV charging into your building's car park: the approval your owners corporation actually needs, the electrical work behind it, and the grants that cover much of the cost.

Why buildings do this now rather than later

Waiting is the expensive option. The cost of getting a building EV-ready barely changes, but the cost of doing it badly — one owner at a time, running an extension of the house supply to one bay — rises with every ad hoc installation you have to undo.

The first charger decides the next twenty
A single charger wired off the nearest available circuit uses up the building's spare capacity and blocks the shared system that would have served everybody. Sequence matters more than speed.
Grant money is finite and dated
Programmes open, allocate and close. Buildings that have a feasibility study ready apply; buildings that are still arguing about it do not.
It changes what your apartments are worth
A building that can charge is a building a buyer can live in. This is starting to show up in valuations, not just in surveys.
Doing it once is far cheaper than doing it five times
Shared infrastructure with metering and load management installed once beats five separate trenching jobs, five approvals and five arguments.
