2.2 million Australians live in apartments - and most of them have been told, directly or indirectly, that EV ownership isn't for them. In 2026 that's changing fast. NSW has a new Right to Charge law. Victoria has mandated EV-ready infrastructure in new builds. And Brisbane is catching up.

A standard power point gives you 10km of range per hour. A proper wall charger gives you 40km.
