The availability of electric vehicle charging infrastructures contributes to encouraging more people to adopt the use of EVs. With readily made infrastructures, it is made accessible for existing and future customers.

In addition, EV charging installations in buildings and public areas allow convenience and efficiency in optimizing the user experience for every driver. However, the feasibility and cost of the retrofit will depend on some factors, such as the age of the building, available electrical infrastructure, parking spots, and EV charging requirements.

Relevant steps to consider

You can check the building’s electrical infrastructure to determine its capacity and whether it can support additional EV charging stations.

You must also choose the right technology that meets the building’s needs and budget and provide training and support to the residents to ensure that they know how to use the charging stations correctly and safely.

For potential options, you can check Tesla’s innovative charging products such as the J1772 Wall Connector, which is compatible with all EVs regardless of the brand.

“Our J1772 Wall Connector is a convenient charging solution for Tesla and non-Tesla electric vehicles alike, and is ideal for houses, apartments, hospitality properties and workplaces.”

These are some of the specific steps to consider in upgrading an apartment for EV charging.

However, it would be ideal to just seek experts’ guidance in these kinds of matters.

Other approaches

Electric vehicle charging has been developed in multifamily buildings by providing electricity in each driver’s space, according to Electric Autonomy. EvoCharge, the American provider of EVSE and cable management systems, offers reliable, safe, and affordable charging stations for single-family, multifamily, workplace, and other commercial areas.

Last year, the company launched its new EvoCharge Concealed Pedestal for mounting electric vehicle chargers in public spaces, parking areas, and more, as noted by EV-a2z.

Furthermore, EV Central stated that several modern apartments are considering electric vehicle charging from the planning phases, ensuring enough plugs for future requirements. However, older apartment blocks make it more of a challenge.

For instance, The Driven commissioned JET Charge to develop a strategy that gave various options for The Botanica, a boutique apartment block in Melbourne in St Kilda Rd, in Melbourne. It has around 60 apartments and about 90 car bays. The system went live in June and had some owners pay for their last mile to ensure they are EV-ready. The owner has also stated that it made his rental property look more attractive.

It is possible to install public charging facilities and ensure that it only bills those who use them. Upgrading an apartment block for EV charging can be a complex process. Consulting with a professional is recommended to assess the project’s feasibility and cost.
