"In a significant move for apartment dwellers looking to make the switch to
electric transport, the ACT branch of the Australian Electric Vehicle
Association (AEVA) has launched a public register of EV-friendly strata sites
across Canberra. The initiative aims to provide transparency for residents who
have historically faced hurdles when trying to charge at home.
The register, released on Thursday, lists strata complexes that allow some form
of on-site EV charging, a feature that is increasingly becoming a deal-maker
(or breaker) for buyers and renters considering the switch to electric.
“We have created a publicly available register of EV-friendly strata sites that
are attracting tenants and new owners by enabling EV charging on-site,” AEVA
spokesperson Dr Peter Campbell said in a statement.
The register currently includes 22 strata complexes across Canberra, with
different approaches to providing charging access.
Some buildings allow individual charging outlets to be wired back to the
electricity meters of individual apartments. Others provide shared charging
bays, often managed by third-party operators who bill residents directly and
reimburse the body corporate for electricity used.
“As a low-cost solution, shared charging points let residents charge once or
twice a week without giving up the convenience of their own parking space,” Dr
Campbell said.
The register has been compiled using information from AEVA members, owners
corporations, strata managers and public sources such as PlugShare.
AEVA is inviting additional buildings to submit their details for inclusion and
advises users to confirm arrangements directly with the relevant owners
corporation, as settings may change over time
Beyond convenience, the move is increasingly seen as an essential step for
property value and tenant retention. Julie Campbell, Chair of the “Evoque”
Owners Corporation which installed two stations two years ago, noted that
modernising facilities makes buildings more attractive to future buyers."
