Strata approval kit
Ready-to-use motion wording, common-property licence templates and resident FAQs for your AGM or committee meeting.

EV charging for apartments and strata.
OC-approved, individually-metered EV charging for apartment buildings and strata schemes — designed to future-proof the whole building, not just the first mover.
01 — Overview
Apartment EV charging is a body-corporate problem before it's an electrical problem. ESQ delivers the full strata pathway — Owners Corporation approval templates, common-property agreements, sub-metering, and dynamic load management — so a resident who wants a charger today doesn't stop the building being fully electrified tomorrow.

02 — Capabilities
What ESQ delivers across this practice.
AP-02
Building-wide load study
We measure actual coincident main-switch demand to determine how many EVs the building can charge without a transformer upgrade.
AP-03
Shared backbone install
Common-property cable tray and sub-board, sized for full building electrification, with per-lot spurs added as residents opt in.
AP-04
Dynamic load management
Real-time main-switch monitoring throttles chargers so peak building demand is never exceeded.
AP-05
Individual billing
Each resident is billed at their own energy tariff (plus a small OC margin) via OCPP or in-charger sub-meter.
AP-06
Future EV owner onboarding
New residents opt in and are commissioned within days — no re-engineering of the base install.
03 — Delivery
A disciplined, engineered process.
- 01
Committee brief
Meet with the OC / committee — walk through options and cost model.
- 02
Load study
Main-switch logging and building capacity assessment.
- 03
OC vote
Resolution passed with supplied templates — common-property backbone approved.
- 04
Install & onboard
Backbone installed, first residents commissioned, ongoing per-lot rollout.
04 — FAQs
Common technical questions.
- Who pays for the charger?
- The common-property backbone is typically funded by the OC (or a developer at construction). Each resident pays for their own charger, spur cable and per-lot install.
- How is energy billed?
- Each charger reports metered energy via OCPP. Residents are invoiced monthly at the building's tariff (or their own retailer rate) with a small OC margin to recover common infrastructure.
- Won't the building run out of capacity?
- Not with dynamic load management. Real-time main-switch monitoring throttles chargers so peak building demand is never exceeded — meaning far more EVs fit than static allocation suggests.
- Do you handle the OC vote?
- We supply the resolution wording, common-property licence template and a resident FAQ pack — and attend the AGM if requested.
- What about older apartment buildings?
- Older buildings often have limited spare capacity. That's exactly where our load-study-first approach matters — it typically avoids expensive network upgrades.
