Charging an EV in an apartment or strata building is absolutely doable — it's just a different job to a freestanding house. There's the strata approval, the cable run from your meter to your space, and metering so you only pay for your own power. We handle all of it across Sydney and NSW, so you can charge in your own car space.
Your car space and the cabling route usually sit on common property, and the power often has to come from your own apartment's meter so you're billed for your own charging. That means getting strata sign-off, planning the cable route, and metering the charger correctly — the parts a standard home install doesn't have.
Since NSW strata reforms, it's become much easier: owners corporations generally can't unreasonably refuse sustainability infrastructure like an EV charger, and many buildings now pass a simple by-law to allow them. We give you the technical detail your strata committee needs — the load assessment, safety and metering plan — to approve it smoothly.

"Filled a form on website. Amr called within seconds. Had a site inspection, quote and proposal with full scope of works within a day. Booked the install and received a certificate on completion. I've received a call since then confirming everything is working fine. Can't think of a better customer experience. EVchargd has nailed it."

Can I install an EV charger in my apartment?
In most cases, yes. We install chargers in apartments and units across Sydney — the key extras are strata approval, a cable route from your meter to your car space, and correct metering so you pay for your own power. We manage all three.
Do I need strata approval for an EV charger?
Usually yes, because the car space and cabling involve common property. The good news: NSW strata rules make it much harder for an owners corporation to unreasonably refuse an EV charger. We provide the technical documentation your committee needs to approve it.
How is the power billed in a strata building?
We meter your charger to your own apartment's supply (or via a smart charger that records usage), so you're only ever billed for the power you use — not the building's common power.
Tell us what's going on and we'll sort it — licensed, certified, no surprises.
