Register your apartment building for ARENA-backed EV charging
ReadySteadyPlug is rolling out managed EV charging in apartment and strata buildings, supported by $1.51 million in funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency under the Australian Government's Driving the Nation Program.
The program uses a Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS) model that requires only a limited, one-off contribution from the owner’s corporation. From then on, residents who want to charge pay for their own connection and the electricity they use, and the system scales as more residents switch to EVs, at no further cost to the building.
Buildings for this ARENA-funded program are being selected now. If your building meets the eligibility criteria below, apply to be considered.
Eligibility criteria
ReadySteadyPlug has ARENA funding available to help selected strata buildings become EV-ready. We’re looking for existing and new strata buildings in every capital city. If you think your building could be a candidate, it will need to meet the following criteria:
The building has more than 50 lots.
The Owners Corporation agrees to install RSP’s managed EV charging backbone, the shared electrical infrastructure with real-time dynamic load management, at a cost partly subsidised by ARENA. Smart Level 1 charge points are then installed under the program for owners and residents who choose to join, now or in the future.
The strata committee accepts and signs off on the solution within a reasonable timeframe.
The strata committee agrees to behavioural trials, where residents may be offered incentives to charge at different times of day, e.g. during solar generation periods.
The strata agrees to become a named reference for the project.
The strata committee agrees to resident surveys before and after installation, and give RSP permission to share anonymised charging data for research purposes.
