115 Beach Street
EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE
iAUTO ENERGY (iAUTO) is proud to have been chosen as your Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging infrastructure provider. These works will enable residents who currently have an EV, to install a dedicated EV Charger for their vehicle in their car space and, importantly, make every Lot Owner’s car space EV ready for a charger as and when you want to install one, be it in 12 months time or 10 years.
A residential apartment building adds some complexity to adding this infrastructure compared to a stand alone home. The information on this page will go over the infrastructure being installed, the timing, limited interruptions and how to access the information to get your own EV Charger.

INFRASTRUCTURE
Retrofitting an apartment building brings a range of complexity of working with, in and around existing infrastructure. iAUTO ENERGY’s designers, engineers and electricians have the experience to provide and deliver the best solutions.
The Owners Corporation is funding the installation of the infrastructure. Lot Owners will fund the purchase and installation of their individual charging units that must integrate and meet the requirements of the infrastructure and iAUTO ENERGY. Electricity used to charge an EV will be charged directly to the individual user (Lot Owner) via a 3rd party billing arrangement with iAUTO ENERGY.
iAUTO ENERGY will install and maintain the power infrastructure, oversee the necessary protocols for the purchase and installation of residents EV Chargers.
As EV purchases are rapidly growing in Australia, there is a need to have the infrastructure in place ready for when it is required. It is expected that by 2030, 50% of new car sales will be EVs. The power demand from EV charging creates complexities that need to be addressed, particularly in residential apartment buildings.
Residents need to be able to efficiently charge their EV's without creating power issues for the rest of the complex. The system being installed is “Smart” such that power can be managed efficiently and safely throughout the building, delivered throughout the carpark, compliant with current building codes and, importantly, being ready for future needs. In providing the right infrastructure now, residents can be confident that their current and future EV Charging needs are addressed, with reliable access to power and simplified installations with cost efficiencies.
Bus-duct infrastructure installed.
The key power distribution product being installed is Bus-duct. This versatile product offers flexibility to adapt with and around existing utilities, with the capacity to accommodate the future power loads of all the car spaces requiring EV Chargers. Bus-duct is more sophisticated in its design and manufacture, with each section/component being made specifically from detailed drawings taken from your car park. Bus-duct is a total solution product, providing for current and future power load demands, with cost savings and efficiencies for future EV Charger installations.
An Electric Vehicle Charging Controller (EVC) will be installed, to communicate, monitor and manage the power usage of installed EV Chargers. This is essential to ensure that the building has power were and when it is needed. An EVC will ensure that when multiple EV Chargers are drawing power at the same time, they won’t adversely affect your building’s other power demands, such as climate control.

The installation will also comply with National Construction Code (NCC), which has specific requirements that must be met in Australia. These include meeting the specific requirements for the type of building, it’s power needs, metering, distribution boards and the commissioning of an EVC.
BILLING
iAUTO ENERGY is the billing provider for the EV Charger usage. The recommended EV Charger for installation will come prebuilt with an internal calibrated billing meter to ensure the measurement of consumption is accurate. Each Lot Owner will become registered within our system and be directly billed for their applicable usage for each monthly period.
EV CHARGER
Residents, through iAUTO, will have the option to purchase and have installed a dedicated EV Charger for their car space. The EV Charger will integrate with the infrastructure being installed, meeting National Construction Code standards with power management and billing solutions included.
iAUTO ENERGY will be recommending the newly launched Schneider Charge Pro to residents, that will work with the installed Schneider EV Charging Expert ECU.
A Lot Owner may purchase their charger directly from another supplier, but the unit will have to meet system standards set and managed by iAUTO. Installation must be overseen by iAUTO to ensure the necessary compatibility and interoperability with the load management and billing systems.
Residents can place an order for an EV Charger now, to be ready with the infrastructure upgrade. Alternatively the infrastructure will be ready when you are, whether you transition to an Electric Vehicle in six months time, or in several years.
