The place to start, especially if you are in NSW, is to download and read through the WattBlock report (<span lang=”EN-GB”>https://www.wattblock.com/recharge.html)</span>. It has everything from assessing the electrical supply capacity of the building to work out what sorts of system you could have and might like to have through to model by-laws for different circumstances.

There is a lot to consider. I would be very happy to have a chat by phone to talk through some of the basics and options, which might be easier than diving in at the deep end. For a start, 7kW is not necessarily always possible or necessary. Send me personal message and we could work out a time to talk.

So you give them written approval to park there for as long as it takes to charge their vehicles (and no longer).

If a resident is dependent on the charger for their own car, they would prefer to charge where they routinely park. That way, they could plug in before going to bed and not have to get up at 3AM to move the car. If at all possible, I would strongly encourage charging to be available where people routinely park.

However, an option for charging in other locations that would encourage people to stay no longer than necessary is to charge by the hour rather than by the kilowatt-hour. Charging outlets such as those provided by EVSE (an unfortunate company name because certain types of charging outlets are EVSEs. EVSE, the company, supplies EVSEs, the equipment, as well as other sorts of EV-associated services and equipment) can be configured for billing by hour or by kWh, ie by time spent connected or by energy taken.
