Question 1

What does an independent EV advisory practice actually do?

Accepted Answer

We assess your building, model realistic options, and help the owners corporation reach a documented decision. We do not sell, install or maintain charging equipment.

Question 2

Do we need to install charging for every parking space?

Accepted Answer

Rarely. Most buildings benefit from a staged approach that meets current demand while reserving capacity and pathways for future growth.

Question 3

How is the cost of charging usually recovered?

Accepted Answer

There are several models, including individual metering, sub-metering and administered billing. The right approach depends on your building's supply arrangement and the owners corporation's preferences.

Question 4

Can you work alongside our existing electrical contractor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work alongside a building's existing contractors, providing the specification and review layer rather than replacing delivery partners.

Question 5

What's the difference between the Snapshot and the full Assessment?

Accepted Answer

The EV Readiness Snapshot is a low-cost, preliminary remote review of your building's position. The Comprehensive EV Readiness Assessment is the full paid service — a structured, committee-ready report. Most buildings start with a Snapshot and use it to decide whether to proceed to the full Assessment.

Question 6

How long does an assessment take?

Accepted Answer

Timeframes depend on building size, documentation availability and committee meeting cycles. We confirm an indicative schedule before any engagement begins.

Question 7

How much does this cost?

Accepted Answer

The EV Readiness Snapshot is offered at a fixed, low-cost entry fee. The Comprehensive Assessment and Implementation support are scoped and quoted per building, since costs depend on scheme size, electrical complexity and existing infrastructure. We'll always confirm cost before any paid work begins.
