For Owners Corporation Committees
Independent EV charging advice for your committee
We help your committee understand the available options, work through the technical, financial and governance considerations, and make informed decisions that are in the long-term interests of your building.
We'll help you determine the right next step for your building.
The decisions your committee needs to get right
Fairness to all lot owners
Who pays for shared infrastructure, and who pays for individual chargers? We apply the Benefit Principle — the legal framework that determines fair cost allocation in strata — so your committee can make a decision that's equitable, defensible and broadly supported.
Governance and legal risk
Resident requests can quickly become precedents. We help your committee assess common property, lot benefit, its obligations and the available approval pathways.
Risk across technology, fire safety and insurance
Choosing the wrong technology creates long-term lock-in, scalability problems and vendor dependency. Fire safety obligations and insurance implications also fall on the OC. We assess all three — so your committee understands the full risk picture before it commits.
Future building capacity
Approving one charger is easy. Building for long-term demand is harder. We help your committee avoid ad-hoc decisions that create future cost and conflict.
Clear cost visibility
We provide building-specific advice on infrastructure pathways, likely costs and staged options so your committee can make informed decisions.

Responding to a resident request?
When a lot owner asks to install EV charging, your committee needs to consider common property, electrical capacity, precedent and fairness. We provide the independent advice you need to assess the request properly.
Planning ahead for your building?
Your committee may want to move before demand becomes urgent. We help you assess staged infrastructure pathways and develop a practical strategy that can support future uptake across your building.
Why committees choose EqualCharge
Independent
We are not tied to a hardware vendor or installer. Every recommendation is made in your building's best interest.
Governance-first
We understand how OC decisions are made, documented and defended. Our advice is designed to hold up at committee and AGM.
Built for fairness
We help your committee balance resident demand with whole-of-building equity — because fair decisions last.
Our advisory approach is aligned with Victoria's official EV-ready guide for owners corporations, published by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA). We help committees apply this framework to their building's specific circumstances.
We are genuinely passionate about getting EV charging into apartment buildings.
