About us
How EVSE has grown into the leading EV charging solution provider across Australia and New Zealand.
The leaders in EV charging
EVSE’s journey began in 2014, where co-founders Sam Korkees and Brendan Wheeler discovered the impact of electric vehicles (EVs) on decarbonisation overseas.
Since then, we have developed into a trusted provider of end-to-end solutions to business, government and residential clients across Australia and New Zealand.

Our Story
Building the complete charging experience
The story of Sam Korkees, Brendan Wheeler and EVSE
Sam Korkees and Brendan Wheeler didn’t come from electrical engineering, automotive or the energy sector. Sam was a pharmacist. Brendan was a chiropractor.
The idea for EVSE began during a trip to Amsterdam in 2014. Across the city, electric cars, taxis and streetside chargers were already becoming part of everyday life. Australia was nowhere near that point but Sam and Brendan could see where the market was heading, and returned home convinced that EV charging would eventually become essential infrastructure.
In 2015, they started EVSE from Sam's parents' garage in Sydney.
The company’s first order wasn’t a charger it was a parking-bay stencil for Optus, sourced from a manufacturer in the United States. Sam delivered it personally. In those early years, the two did everything themselves: answering enquiries, sourcing equipment, packing boxes and making Australia Post runs while Australia’s EV market was still in its infancy.
Building the complete charging experience
As EVSE delivered more projects, one problem became increasingly clear: customers were often left managing multiple suppliers across hardware, installation, software, payments and support. When something went wrong, accountability became fragmented.
Recurring issues with third-party hardware and limited support from overseas manufacturers led EVSE to develop its own charging equipment range, Ocular. Customers also needed better visibility, monitoring, access control and payment management so EVSE built its own charging software platform, Exploren.
The objective was simple: one company accountable for the entire charging experience.
That principle continues to shape EVSE today. The company can now support customers from initial feasibility and electrical design through to hardware supply, installation, commissioning, software, load management, maintenance, support, financing (through Charging-as-a-Service) and network operation.
