Who We Install Commercial EV Chargers For
Business carparks & office buildings
Whether you're adding EV charging as a staff amenity or a tenant requirement, we'll design a system that fits your available power supply and can scale as demand grows.
Apartment buildings & body corporates
Strata EV charging is one of the most common requests we get and one of the most complex to get right. We navigate the body corporate approval process, assess the building's power infrastructure, and install systems that fairly allocate costs to individual unit owners.
Retail & hospitality venues
Customer-facing charging stations with billing integration and payment terminals. We install systems that let you offer paid charging, free charging, or time-limited access depending on your business model.
Councils & public carparks
Multi-bay DC fast charging installations for public use, with billing POS systems and remote monitoring capability.
Fleet operators
If your business runs a fleet of EVs or is transitioning to one, we'll design a depot charging solution that suits your overnight charging requirements and minimises demand charges on your energy bill.
Commercial EV Charger Options
Not all commercial chargers are the same and the right choice depends on your site, your users, and how fast you need vehicles charged. Here’s an overview of some of the different types of EV chargers that suit commercial projects.
We recommend and install EV Charge Box commercial systems, which are purpose-built for Australian conditions including salt and wind resistance for coastal and marine environments, heavy-duty sun and surge protection, and robust outdoor enclosures. Or, we’ll install your preferred brand if you already have one in mind.
AC wall-mounted chargers (7kW to 22kW)
The most cost-effective option for office carparks and apartment buildings where vehicles are parked for several hours at a time. A 7kW charger adds around 40 to 50km of range per hour. Suitable for single or multi-bay installations.
Twin pedastal chargers
Freestanding units that serve two bays from a single pedestal. Cost-effective for carparks where trench cabling to individual bays is impractical. Available in AC and DC configurations.
DC Fast chargers (50kW to 150kW+)
For high-turnover sites like retail carparks, service stations, or fleet depots where vehicles need a meaningful charge in 20 to 45 minutes. DC fast chargers require significant power infrastructure and are priced accordingly, but they're the standard for serious public charging installations.
Large/industrial chargers
From trucks to ships and other industrial use-cases, we can scale your EV charge stations to suit any size project. Our recommended supplier is EV Charge Box - units that are designed to withstand harsh Australian environments.
How does the Commercial EV Charger Installation process work?
Commercial installations are more involved than a home charger job. Here’s what the process typically looks like:
1. Site assessment
We visit your site and assess your existing switchboard capacity, available three-phase power, cable routing options, and parking layout. For larger installations this may include a load assessment to understand what your building can support without a switchboard or transformer upgrade.
2. System design & quote
We design a system around your site constraints and usage requirements, then provide a detailed fixed quote covering hardware, installation, and any switchboard or cabling work required. No surprises.
3. Council or body corporate approvals (if required)
For some installations, particularly in strata buildings or on public land, approvals may be needed before work can start. We'll advise on what's required and can assist with documentation.
4. Installation
Our licensed electricians handle the full installation including switchboard work, cabling, charger mounting, and network configuration. All work meets Australian Standards and Queensland electrical compliance requirements.
5. Testing, commissioning & handover
We test the full system, configure billing or access management settings, and walk your team through how to manage the installation ongoing.
6. Ongoing support & maintenance
We're available for fault diagnosis, firmware updates, and repairs after installation. Commercial EV charging infrastructure needs the same ongoing attention as any other building electrical system.
Switchboards & Power Infrastructure
This is the part that often catches commercial buyers off guard. Most commercial buildings have enough three-phase power for a small number of AC chargers, but a multi-bay or DC fast charger installation will typically require switchboard upgrades, new sub-mains, or in some cases a transformer upgrade in consultation with Energex.
We handle all of this in-house. KORLEC’s commercial electrical team have extensive experience with custom switchboard design and installation, so your EV charging system is built on infrastructure that will support it properly, not just what was already there.
If your site needs a load assessment before we can quote, we’ll tell you upfront and include it in the process.
Commercial EV Charger Installation FAQ
How much does a commercial EV charger cost?
Commercial installations vary significantly depending on the number of bays, charger type, site power infrastructure, and whether switchboard or cabling upgrades are required.
An AC wall charger for a small office carpark might start from $2,500 to $4,000 installed. A multi-bay DC fast charging installation for a public carpark is a much larger project. We’ll give you a clear fixed quote after an initial site assessment. Fill in the form above to get the conversation started.
Are your chargers eligible for EV charger grants?
The honest answer right now is that Queensland’s dedicated commercial EV charging grant programs have largely wound up. The Queensland EV Charging Infrastructure Co-Fund, a $10 million program that helped businesses install fast chargers, closed in 2023, and there are currently no active direct grants for private commercial installations in Queensland.
That said, there are still federal incentives worth knowing about:
The FBT exemption for eligible electric vehicles remains one of the most significant incentives available nationally. When an employer provides an EV to an employee through salary packaging or a novated lease, employees can save $6,000 to $12,000 per year through salary sacrifice, and employers save on FBT costs.
If you’re installing fleet charging as part of an EV fleet transition, this is worth discussing with your accountant.
Small and medium businesses purchasing EVs for commercial use may also be eligible for accelerated depreciation or instant asset write-off schemes, depending on turnover and vehicle price caps.
The incentive landscape changes regularly. We recommend checking the current status at business.gov.au before you budget, and we’re happy to point you in the right direction when you get in touch.
Will these chargers work with all EV models?
Yes. All commercial chargers we install use standard Type 2 AC connectors and CCS2 DC connectors, which are compatible with all EVs sold in Australia. If you need to accommodate a specific fleet vehicle or connector type, let us know and we’ll confirm compatibility before we quote.
Can you install chargers in strata or body corporate buildings?
Yes, though strata installations require body corporate approval and careful planning around how costs are allocated between common property and individual lots. We can advise on the technical requirements and help you understand what to put to the body corporate committee.
Do you handle all the switchboard and power infrastructure in-house?
Yes, entirely in-house. We don’t subcontract the electrical work. Our team handles everything from switchboard assessment and upgrades through to final installation and commissioning.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance & support?
Yes. We offer ongoing maintenance, fault diagnosis, and repairs for all systems we install. Commercial EV charging infrastructure benefits from a regular maintenance schedule, and we can set up a service agreement to suit your site.
Can you install EV chargers in an existing carpark or building?
Yes, and it’s the most common scenario we deal with. Retrofitting EV charging into an existing carpark requires careful planning around cable routing, parking bay layout, and available switchboard capacity. We’ll assess all of this as part of the site visit.
Do you work outside Brisbane?
We’re based in West End and primarily serve greater Brisbane. For larger commercial projects we can travel further. Get in touch and we’ll confirm whether we can service your site.
