EV Channels Review

This live stream addresses the critical issue of EV charging installation in apartment buildings, featuring Gary Buck, an apartment owner and body corporate chairman, alongside Riz Actor from Carloop. Gary shares his successful experience retrofitting charging infrastructure for 30 spots in his Melbourne apartment block, highlighting a remarkably swift six-month timeline from strategy to implementation. Key takeaways include the importance of a clear strategy, proactive communication with residents to address concerns about safety and property value, and the financial viability of such projects, with an average cost of $500 per apartment for the initial phase. The discussion emphasizes the benefits of using third-party providers like Jet Charge and Chargebox for infrastructure and billing, ensuring transparency and ease of use. Gary's advice is to manage the process proactively rather than ignore the inevitable rise of EVs, stressing that a managed solution is safer and more effective than ad-hoc charging. The segment also touches upon EV market trends, including a significant number of used Tesla Model 3 and Model Y listings and delivery figures for Queensland and Victoria.
