EV Charging Infrastructure

PLE designs and installs EV charging infrastructure for apartment buildings and commercial carparks across SEQ — including Green Star Credit 17B3 compliance.

EV Charging for Multi-Residential Buildings

EV charging in an apartment tower is not simply a matter of running power outlets to carspaces. A properly engineered system requires dedicated infrastructure, load management, and fire safety integration — designed to support a high proportion of simultaneous chargers without oversizing the building's supply.

What PLE Delivers

  • Dedicated EV distribution board (EV DB), separate from the main building board
  • Bulk sub-metering for body corporate cost recovery
  • Load management system — monitors real-time demand and limits charger output to protect supply capacity
  • Wireless access points in carpark for charger network communication
  • Fire alarm shunt-trip integration — disconnects EV circuits on fire alarm activation
  • EV-ready conduit to each carspace for future charger installation

Green Star Credit 17B3

PLE delivered EV infrastructure to satisfy Green Star Credit 17B3 at Upper House — a 34-storey, 194-unit tower in South Brisbane for Minicon Builders and Aria Property Group. The scope included dedicated EV sub-main, sub-metering, load management provisions, and conduit distribution to carspaces, documented specifically to satisfy the credit requirements.
