Viva City in Lidcombe, NSW is a near-new residential development that is paving the way for sustainable living. To meet the growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs), Colussus has installed their EV charging station solution with the first three charging stations. This new solution is connected to the building’s main power supply and is controlled with Exploren and managed exclusively by Colussus and Randall Electrics.

The cost of charging your electric vehicle (EV) can add up quickly, especially if you rely on street charging stations that can charge anywhere from 40c to 70c per kilowatt hour (kWh). However, residents of Viva City in Lidcombe, NSW have the advantage of charging their EVs at home for a fraction of the cost, thanks to Colussus’ EV charging station solution. The cost of charging at home is just 30c per kWh, representing significant savings compared to street pricing.

Let’s compare the cost savings of charging at home versus charging on the street. If we take the average street pricing of 55c per kWh, charging your EV at home with Colussus’ solution would save you 25% (55c – 30c = 25%). If we compare it to the highest street price of 70c per kWh, charging at home would result in a savings of 57% (70c – 30c = 40%).

The cost-saving benefits of charging your EV at home with Colussus’ EV charging station solution in Viva City are clear. With prices sitting at just 30c per kWh, residents can save anywhere from 25% to 57% compared to street pricing.

Electric vehicle (EV) charging stations are becoming increasingly common in apartment buildings. With the growing popularity of EVs, it is essential that strata management and strata committees only install charging stations with load management capabilities. This is to ensure that the electricity supply remains stable and does not overload, causing power outages for all residents in the building.

Installing an EV charging station in a house power circuit can lead to a number of problems. Firstly, residents will have no idea how much energy is being used, making it difficult to monitor and control their electricity consumption. Additionally, if too much energy is being used, it can cause an overload in the power circuit, leading to a blackout in the entire building. This can be extremely disruptive to the peace and enjoyment of all residents.

Load management systems are specifically designed to ensure that the electricity supply remains stable, even when multiple EVs are being charged at the same time. This technology is able to monitor the electricity consumption of each charging station, and adjust the charging speed accordingly. This helps to prevent power outages and ensure that all residents in the building have access to reliable electricity.

In conclusion, it is essential that strata management and strata committees only install EV charging stations with load management capabilities. This will ensure that the electricity supply remains stable and does not cause any disruptions for residents in the building. By choosing load management systems, strata committees, and management can help to create a sustainable and efficient energy system, that benefits everyone in the building.
