Why EVIAM

Property value

All new builds in Australia are required to have EV-charging capacity — upgrading today with the right tech will future proof your investment.

Compatibility

Our EV charging technology is suitable for daily use and compatible with all standard electric vehicles.

Cost management

As EV charging relies on the building’s main electrical grid, a centralised system will give you more control over usage and billing.

Easy Maintenance

Using industry standard products, we ensure that any suitably qualified and accredited technician can maintain your property for years to come.

REliable Technology

We partnered with Schneider Electric to ensure our customers are paired with the right EV infrastructure components and technology to suit their needs.

Stakeholders

We work closely with residents, strata managers, developers, and energy networks to develop simple and scalable solutions that work now and in the future.

Understanding EV charging

If you live in an apartment building or high rise, we will likely recommend a solution involving AC fast chargers that balance the charging needs of multiple EVs with the power demands of the rest of the building.

Level 1 – AC Slow Chargers

These EV chargers can be plugged into a standard powerpoint or outlet. Although, they are handy to have, they will charge your EV very slowly and cannot be a sustainable or fair ongoing solution in communal parking areas of apartment buildings.

Level 2 – AC Fast Chargers

Five times faster than a Level 1 EV AC Charger, these units do need a dedicated circuit, and when installed, can be separated for individual use and metering. This is the most powerful EV charger you can install at a residential location.

Level 3 – DC Fast Chargers

These chargers are the fastest on the EV market and are most suitable to commercial or fleet environments. Due to the extensive infrastructure needs and high energy draw, DC fast charging in apartment buildings is not practical.

True cost of installing an EV charger

Enabling EV charging at your business isn’t as simple as installing a few EV chargers. Your EV chargers will impact the entire electrical infrastructure of your business premise. To ensure fair distribution of costs and clear management of electricity usage, it needs to be a holistic, ROI-focused solution to manage the electrical load.
