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.
Built on expertise. Focused on your future.
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.
Core services
Support across the full decision pathway
Engage us for a single stage or for end-to-end guidance from first request through to handover.
EV Readiness Snapshot
A remote, preliminary review establishing the building's current position. This is the low-cost entry point — not the full paid service.
Comprehensive EV Readiness Assessment
The principal paid service. A full structured assessment delivered as a committee-ready report with a presentation to the committee.
Implementation and Installer Coordination
Support once the committee has an approved roadmap, through to work getting underway.
How it works
A five-stage process built for strata governance
Each stage produces a documented output your committee can circulate, minute and act on.
- 01
Enquiry & Discovery
An initial conversation to understand your building and the committee's objectives.
- 02
EV Readiness Snapshot
A preliminary, remote review of your building's current position and next steps.
- 03
Comprehensive EV Readiness Assessment
For buildings proceeding further: a full structured assessment and committee-ready report.
- 04
Committee Presentation
Findings and a staged roadmap presented directly to your committee.
- 05
Implementation and Installer Coordination
Support progressing an approved roadmap through to installation, if the committee proceeds.
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.
