The smart way to add EV charging to strata buildings
Discover Ready Steady Plug: Fit-for-purpose EV charging system designed for Australian apartment buildings.
Trusted by stratas and city councils across Australia
Why strata EV charging needs a different approach
High upfront cost
Many EV charging systems require large upfront investment before demand is clear.
Limited electrical capacity
High-power charging can overload the building’s electrical system and trip breakers or fuses.
Hardware-heavy installations
Installing chargers at every bay increases cost, maintenance, and limits flexibility.
Fairness between residents
Without clear billing, non-EV residents can end up paying for EV charging.
That’s why we built ReadySteadyPlug, a better way to bring EV charging to strata buildings.
Lower risk for Owners Corporations
-
ReadySteadyPlug avoids the high upfront costs of Level 2 systems by using standard outlets and shared infrastructure.
-
Install charging only where it’s needed today, without locking the building into a full rollout before demand is clear.
-
Built on standard electrical infrastructure, keeping long-term options open for the building.
Designed specifically for strata
-
We charge our phones overnight. EVs work the same way. While cars are parked, ReadySteadyPlug delivers up to 200 km of range overnight, covering everyday driving without the need for high-power chargers.
-
Slower, steady charging reduces heat and stress on batteries, supporting long-term battery health.
-
With built-in Dynamic Load Balancing, charging is automatically managed to stay within safe limits, protecting the building’s electrical system and avoiding costly upgrades.
-
Basement parking isn’t designed for Wi-Fi. ReadySteadyPlug works without it, keeping charging simple and reliable.
Start small, expand when needed
-
Begin with a small group of users and add more as EV ownership grows.
-
Dynamic load management allows more vehicles to charge without rebuilding infrastructure or increasing maximum demand.
-
Standard outlets and modular components adapt as technology and demand change.
Fair for all residents
-
Each outlet is individually metered, so EV owners cover their own electricity costs.
-
Non-EV residents are not paying for EV charging, avoiding disagreements between residents.
-
EV-ready buildings are more attractive to buyers and renters, helping protect property value over time.
