What is fleet charging solutions?
Electrifying a fleet lives or dies on the charging infrastructure at the depot. Vehicles need to be reliably full for the next shift, the electricity bill has to stay under control, and the system has to scale as more of the fleet goes electric. EV Install designs depot charging around those realities: enough chargers for the duty cycle, intelligent control to flatten the load, and integration with the systems your fleet already runs on.
The cost trap in fleet charging is demand charges. Commercial tariffs bill heavily on your peak power draw, so plugging in a whole fleet at 5pm and letting them all charge flat-out creates an expensive demand spike. Smart load management spreads and staggers that load across the overnight window — charging vehicles in sequence or at modulated rates so the depot's peak demand stays low while every vehicle is still full by morning. For many depots this single feature saves far more than the chargers cost.
Scheduling and telematics integration tie the charging to the operation. We configure charging windows around shift patterns and off-peak tariffs, and where your fleet uses telematics or a fleet-management platform, OCPP-networked chargers can feed energy and session data in so dispatch and finance see state-of-charge and charging cost alongside the rest of the fleet picture. Reporting per vehicle and per bay supports cost allocation and helps plan each expansion stage.
Scalability is designed in from the start. We size the supply infrastructure, cable backbone and switchgear so the depot can grow from a first wave of vehicles to a fully electric fleet by adding chargers, not rebuilding. Because depot loads are large, the supply almost always needs serious capacity — and where a main-supply or switchboard upgrade is required, that is Level 2 ASP and distributor territory. We do not hold a Level 2 ASP licence; we work with trusted Level 2 ASP electricians and manage the process for you, delivering a coordinated fleet-charging result to AS/NZS 3000.
Who it is for
If you run a workplace, manage a car park, operate a fleet or want to attract EV-driving customers, fleet charging solutions turns your site into a charging destination. We scope every project to the number of vehicles, the available electrical supply and how the bays will be used.
Every install is carried out by licensed electricians and completed to AS/NZS 3000 wiring standards. You can read more about electrical licensing in NSW via NSW Fair Trading.
Charger options for fleet charging solutions
We are brand-independent and install the unit that suits you best. Typical fits for this service include Wallbox Commander 2, Ocular IQ, EVSE Australia and KEBA. Not sure what you need? Our EV charger types guide explains 7.4kW, 11kW and 22kW AC chargers, DC fast charging, and smart vs basic units, and our charger brands page compares Tesla, Wallbox, EVSE Australia and more.
The installation process
- Fleet & duty analysis. We assess vehicle types, daily kilometres, shift patterns and the depot supply to size chargers and the charging window.
- Load & tariff design. We design load management and scheduling to keep vehicles full while minimising demand charges on your commercial tariff.
- Infrastructure build. We install the cable backbone, switchgear and chargers sized for future growth, coordinating supply upgrades via our Level 2 ASP partner.
- Integrate & schedule. We set up OCPP networking, telematics/fleet-platform integration, charging schedules and per-vehicle reporting.
- Commission & scale plan. We test the system under managed load, hand over reporting, and document the staged expansion plan — all to AS/NZS 3000.
Electrical requirements
Depot charging is a large, concentrated load, so it needs a properly sized supply, a robust cable backbone and dynamic load management to flatten peak demand. Each bay runs on a dedicated RCBO-protected circuit with OCPP networking for scheduling and telematics. We assess three-phase capacity, switchboard headroom and growth plans; main-supply upgrades and distributor liaison go through our Level 2 ASP partner. All work is tested and certified to AS/NZS 3000.
Switchboard upgrades. If your property needs a switchboard upgrade before installation, we work with trusted, fully licensed Level 2 ASP electricians to coordinate this seamlessly — we manage the process so you don’t have to deal with a separate trade.
Key benefits
- Smart load management staggers charging to slash expensive demand-charge peaks.
- Scheduling around shifts and off-peak tariffs keeps every vehicle full and cheap.
- Telematics/fleet-platform integration via OCPP for state-of-charge and cost visibility.
- Per-vehicle reporting for accurate cost allocation across the fleet.
- Infrastructure sized to scale from first EVs to a fully electric fleet.
What does it cost?
Indicative: fully project-scoped. Depot infrastructure is dominated by the supply capacity and cable backbone required, with per-charger hardware-and-install costs falling at volume. The load-management design typically pays for itself through avoided demand charges. Main-supply and switchboard upgrades plus distributor coordination are quoted separately via our Level 2 ASP partner.
