Ad hoc charging requests
Individual owners request charging one at a time, and decisions are made without a building-wide view.
Independent EV strata advisory
EV ready buildings.
Connected futures.
VoltStrata is an independent EV infrastructure advisory practice for residential strata communities. We help committees plan charging infrastructure safely, strategically and with confidence.
Proudly Sydney-born, VoltStrata supports strata communities across Australia.

Advisory, not supply
A considered approach to a decision your building only makes once
Electric vehicle charging in a residential strata scheme is a governance question before it is a technical one. VoltStrata provides the assessment, analysis and documentation an owners corporation needs to decide well.
- Independent of equipment suppliers and installers
- Advice prepared for committee and general meeting use
- Staged planning that preserves future capacity

The challenge
What strata buildings are dealing with
Most buildings encounter the same set of issues in the same order. Recognising them early avoids costly rework.
Unclear electrical capacity
Committees rarely have current information on available supply, spare capacity or metering arrangements.
Vendor-led proposals
Proposals arrive from suppliers with different assumptions, making meaningful comparison difficult.
Cost allocation disputes
Who pays for infrastructure, energy and maintenance is often unresolved before installation proceeds.
Safety and access concerns
Cable management, ventilation and emergency access raise questions that need documented consideration.
Decisions that don't scale
Early installations can constrain the building's ability to serve later demand economically.

Independence
Why independent advice matters
When the adviser has no stake in what gets installed, the recommendation can follow the building's interests alone.
- No supplier commissions
- We are not remunerated by equipment suppliers, installers or energy retailers.
- Vendor-neutral specifications
- Scope documents are written so competing quotes can be compared on equal terms.
- Advice to the owners corporation
- Our engagement is with the building, not with a party seeking to sell into it.
