Case Study
National EV charging infrastructure roll-out
Overview and impact A national EV charging infrastructure rollout for a major government organisation demonstrates how early integration of sustainability considerations can deliver tangible outcomes without increasing project costs. The $3–4 million program delivered EV charging infrastructure across six capital cities, including Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Canberra, integrating seamlessly with the client’s existing solar infrastructure and avoiding the costly utility upgrades typically associated with projects of this scale. Key challenges The primary challenge was delivering a scalable and consistent solution across sites with varying base- building power capabilities, without triggering major electrical upgrades or compromising value-for-money outcomes. Delivery strategy By engaging early in the planning phase, the project team analysed peak and off-peak building loads alongside real-time fleet usage data to identify available capacity. Dynamic load‑management software was then implemented to intelligently distribute power across up to 100 chargers, maximising existing electrical infrastructure and operating within building constraints.
