What is workplace ev charging installation?
Workplace EV charging is becoming a genuine staff benefit and an easy sustainability win. Employees top up while they work, visitors and clients see a business that's moving with the times, and the right system gives you control over who charges and what it costs. EV Install designs workplace charging that fits how your site actually operates — from a couple of bays for early adopters to a managed array across a staff car park — with the metering and access controls to keep it fair and accountable.
Access control is the difference between a useful amenity and a free-for-all. RFID card or app authentication means only authorised staff (or registered visitors) can start a session, so you're not paying to charge the neighbourhood. You can set tariffs — free as a perk, at-cost, or a small fee — and segment access between staff and destination/visitor charging. Usage reporting gives finance and facilities a clear picture of energy use per user, per bay and over time, which matters for cost recovery, fringe-benefits considerations and planning the next stage of rollout.
Because workplaces concentrate charging during business hours, load management is central to the design. OCPP-networked chargers share the available supply so the array never trips the main, and we can prioritise or schedule charging to dodge peak-demand charges on a commercial tariff. The system is built to scale: start with a handful of bays and add more as EV uptake in your team grows, without re-engineering the whole installation each time.
We are certified across the leading hardware and specify units suited to shared commercial duty — Wallbox Commander 2, Ocular IQ, EVSE Australia and others — with the networking and back-office that make reporting and billing painless. As a licensed electrical contractor specialising in EV charging since 2017, we handle the whole job to AS/NZS 3000, from the site assessment through cable runs across the car park to commissioning. Where the building's supply or switchboard needs upgrading for the load, we work with trusted Level 2 ASP electricians and manage that process for you, so facilities deals with one contractor.
Who it is for
If you run a workplace, manage a car park, operate a fleet or want to attract EV-driving customers, workplace ev charging installation turns your site into a charging destination. We scope every project to the number of vehicles, the available electrical supply and how the bays will be used.
Every install is carried out by licensed electricians and completed to AS/NZS 3000 wiring standards. You can read more about electrical licensing in NSW via NSW Fair Trading.
Charger options for workplace ev charging installation
We are brand-independent and install the unit that suits you best. Typical fits for this service include Wallbox Commander 2, Ocular IQ, EVSE Australia, KEBA and Wallbox Pulsar Plus.

Our EV charger types guide explains 7.4kW, 11kW and 22kW AC chargers, DC fast charging, and smart vs basic units, and our charger brands page compares Tesla, Wallbox, EVSE Australia and more.
The installation process
- Site & supply assessment. We review the car park, available supply, tariff and how many bays you need now versus later.
- Design & policy. We design a load-managed, access-controlled array and help set your charging policy (who, what tariff, staff vs visitor).
- Install & cabling. We run cabling across the car park and install the chargers, networking and metering, coordinating any supply upgrade via our Level 2 ASP partner.
- Access & reporting setup. We configure RFID/app access, tariffs and the reporting back-office so you can manage and bill usage.
- Commission & handover. We test every bay under load management, train your facilities team and certify the work to AS/NZS 3000.
Electrical requirements
Workplace arrays draw from the building commercial supply, so each bay needs a dedicated RCBO-protected circuit and OCPP networking, with dynamic load management to keep total demand within supply and clear of peak-demand charges. We assess switchboard capacity, three-phase availability, cable routes across the car park and metering for reporting/billing. Any supply upgrade is handled via our Level 2 ASP partner. All work is tested and certified to AS/NZS 3000.
Switchboard upgrades. If your property needs a switchboard upgrade before installation, we work with trusted, fully licensed Level 2 ASP electricians to coordinate this seamlessly — we manage the process so you don’t have to deal with a separate trade.
Key benefits
- Attract and retain staff with an in-demand workplace charging benefit.
- RFID/app access control so only authorised users charge, with set tariffs.
- Per-user, per-bay usage reporting for cost recovery and planning.
- Load-managed array that avoids peak-demand charges and never trips the main.
- Scalable design — add bays as EV uptake across your team grows.
What does it cost?
Indicative: project-scoped after a site assessment. Per-bay hardware-and-install typically starts around $2,000–$3,500 for networked, access-controlled chargers, falling per bay at volume. Major variables are cable-run distance across the car park, trenching/line-marking and supply capacity. Building-supply or switchboard upgrades are quoted separately via our Level 2 ASP partner.
