EV charging for shared living
Every day, more and more Australians make the move to shared living . As of the 2016 census, one in every six households was a unit, flat, or apartment.
These Australians demand the same amenities as any other and that includes charging for electric vehicles. Providing this can be a challenge, but JET Charge offer a solution. We are Australia’s most experienced EV charging installer and manager.
JET Charge specialise in integrating ev charging station within commercial-scale electrical networks. Whatever the challenges of your site, we can bring charging to your residents. For advice on adding charging to new developments, see our ‘Property Developers’ page.
How can I manage EV charging easier?
Having spoken with hundreds of strata managers and bodies corporate in the last decade, we get it – it’s hard enough having to look after one building, let alone 100, all of whom want something done RIGHT NOW.
Throw in something new like EV charging, and it seems easier to put it off and let the next person or committee deal with it. especially when you need to seek body corporate consent.
We didn’t have the right answer from day 1. The install to the left is one of the first in Australia in an apartment, and it had a standard meter in it that you had to read. We quickly decided that was not scalable enough, which is why we created automated, large scale solutions that means a hands off, but eyes on, approach for strata managers and owners’ corporations.
Assessment and planning
We conduct a comprehensive site review for every project. Once contacted by your Owners’ Corporation, we’ll begin the process of constructing a preliminary plan and propose a path forward for your body corporate electric vehicle charging needs.
This allows you to get an idea of what is possible, which solutions might best suit your residents, and how we should proceed taking into account cost and maintenance considerations and incorporating proactive risk management measures.
Our processes ensure that your project receives the optimal solution, including the installation of electrical vehicle sockets outlets, , even when it requires body corporate approval, so your residents get the most benefit from EV charging. Because we are the actual technicians who install the EV chargers, we ensure that all installations include appropriate fire protection measures and provide practical, usable information, rather than just consultant gibberish.
Integrated systems
JET Charge co-founded and work closely with Chargefox, Australia’s leading billing and charge-management software provider. Their network is only one of the many resources we regularly employ to make charging viable and simple in shared electrical networks.
Our goal to improve apartment charging also led us to develop the CORE Energy Management System through our in-house engineering team, optimising every ev charger installed. CORE integrates and manages power delivery within site networks, using open-source protocols to optimise networks with a wide range of hardware and software options.
Our technicians use these resources and relationships to design the best possible ev charging stations for our clients.

For residents
JET Charge prepare proposals on behalf of electric vehicle drivers to their owners corporation and strata manager, completely free of charge. All you pay for is the installation (and hardware if required). If you’re an apartment resident looking to get started on charging, see our ‘Apartment Residents’ page.
There is no catch. We do it because we recognise the importance of every single electric vehicle in our transition to a low emissions, high tech future.
