Workplace EV charging

Give staff and visitors somewhere to charge while they work, without overloading your building's supply or losing track of who uses what.

Why offer charging at work

Many employees can’t charge at home, especially those living in sectional title complexes where approval takes time. Charging at the office gives them a reliable option and gives you a visible, practical benefit. For visitors and tenants, it signals a building that’s keeping up.

How a workplace project runs

We start with a site assessment that looks at your main supply, existing loads, parking layout and cable routes. From there we propose a layout, usually built around commercial AC chargers with load management, and a budget for the first phase.

Our registered electricians carry out the installation and issue a Certificate of Compliance. We then configure access control, tariffs and reporting, and train whoever will manage the system.

Planning for more drivers

Every year more staff will arrive in an EV. We size cable routes and boards for the next phase, so adding bays later doesn’t mean starting over. If you manage an office park with several tenants, see our page on office park EV charging.

Why it works

What you get with workplace from StrataCharge

  • A perk staff notice

    Charging at work is a practical benefit for employees who can't charge at home, such as people living in complexes.

  • Control who charges

    RFID cards or an app limit access to staff, visitors or tenants, and you choose whether charging is free or billed.

  • Usage you can report on

    Smart chargers log every session, so you can recover costs, allocate them to departments or report on them.

  • Load managed, not overloaded

    Load management shares the available capacity across chargers, so you can add bays without an immediate supply upgrade.

  • Room to grow

    We size cabling and boards for future chargers, so adding bays later is quicker and cheaper.

How we approach it

Planned around your building's supply

Workplace projects succeed or fail on electrical capacity. We start with a load assessment of your building, then design a charger layout and load-management set-up that fits within it, with a clear path to expand.

Workplace charging options

Most workplaces start with a few shared AC chargers and grow from there.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure? Speak with StrataCharge by phone, WhatsApp or email.

How many chargers does a workplace need?

Start with the number of staff who already drive EVs, plus some headroom. Because cars park all day, one dual-socket charger can often serve [X] or more drivers if people move their cars. We'll suggest a starting number after the site assessment.

Do we need DC fast chargers at the office?

Usually not. Cars parked for a working day have plenty of time to charge on AC. DC chargers cost much more and are better suited to fleets, forecourts and quick stops.

Can we charge staff for electricity?

Yes. Smart chargers can apply a tariff per kWh or per session, and the reports show who used what. How you charge staff is your policy decision; we set the system up to match it.

Will chargers overload our building?

Not if they're designed properly. We assess your supply first and use load management to keep total demand within safe limits.

We lease our office. Who needs to approve the install?

Your landlord or property manager will usually need to approve work on the building. We can provide drawings and specifications for their sign-off.

Do you maintain the chargers afterwards?

Yes. We offer maintenance and support, including remote monitoring where the charger supports it.
