EV Charging for New Developments: NCC 2025 Compliance, EV-Ready Infrastructure and Developer Solutions
The National Construction Code 2025 introduced EV charging requirements for new residential and commercial developments in Australia, and created significant confusion about exactly what’s required, when, and in which states and territories.
EVSE works with property developers, builders, and project managers across Australia to navigate NCC compliance, design EV-ready electrical infrastructure, and deliver practical charging installations that meet regulatory requirements without over-engineering the solution.
What the NCC 2025 Actually Requires
The NCC 2025 introduced provisions requiring new Class 2 buildings (apartments and multi-residential) and certain commercial developments to include EV charging infrastructure. The provisions operate at two levels: requirements for EV charging-ready electrical infrastructure (conduit, wiring capacity, switchboard provisions) and requirements for installed charging equipment in some jurisdictions.
Critically, the NCC provisions are adopted and implemented differently by each state and territory, meaning the exact requirements that apply to a specific project depend on where it’s located and when construction commenced.
| Victoria | Adopted NCC 2025 EV provisions. New Class 2 buildings require EV-ready infrastructure from May 2024. |
| NSW | Adopted NCC 2025. Requirements apply to new developments lodged after the relevant commencement date. |
| Queensland | Adopted with some modifications. Verify current requirements with the local building authority. |
| Western Australia | Adopted NCC 2025 with local modifications. WA-specific provisions apply. |
| South Australia | Adopted NCC 2025. Requirements mirror national provisions. |
| ACT | Has maintained separate requirements. Verify current requirements with ACT Planning. |
| NT & TAS | Adopted. Verify local application with the relevant authority. |
Important: NCC compliance requirements for EV charging continue to evolve, and state-level adoption varies. The information above is current as of mid-2026 but should be verified against the current NCC and relevant state building authority guidance for any specific project. EVSE’s compliance team can advise on current requirements for your project location.
EV-Ready vs EV-Installed: What’s the Difference?
The NCC 2025 distinguishes between two levels of provision:
EV-ready means the building’s electrical infrastructure is designed and installed to support future EV charging, conduit, cable capacity, switchboard provisions, without the actual charger hardware being installed at construction. This is the minimum requirement for most new developments and allows individual owners or tenants to install chargers without requiring major infrastructure works.
EV-installed means charger hardware is installed at construction, ready for use on occupancy. Some commercial developments and certain residential applications are required to include installed chargers, not just EV-ready infrastructure.
Getting this distinction right for a specific project is important. Over-specifying increases construction cost unnecessarily. Under-specifying creates compliance exposure and retrofit costs for future owners.
What EVSE Provides for Developers
- NCC compliance assessment, a review of the applicable requirements for your project location, building class, and lodgement date
- EV-ready electrical design, switchboard provisions, conduit sizing, cable capacity, and future-proofing specifications that meet NCC requirements and accommodate future installation without expensive retrofits
- Installed charging systems, for projects requiring installed chargers, EVSE designs and delivers compliant hardware with load management for multi-residential and commercial applications
- Strata and body corporate documentation, the compliance certificates, electrical plans, and operational documentation that strata managers and body corporates need for ongoing management
- Builder and project manager engagement, EVSE’s commercial team works directly with your construction team to co
Multi-Residential: The Strata Complexity
Multi-residential developments present specific challenges that go beyond basic NCC compliance. Individual apartment owners want the ability to install their own charger without requiring body corporate approval for structural works. Body corporates want clear documentation of what the building can support, what’s been installed, and what future owners can do.
EVSE’s approach to multi-residential developments addresses both. EV-ready infrastructure is designed so individual owners can connect a charger to the pre-installed conduit and capacity provisions without requiring electrical infrastructure upgrades. The load management system, where installed at the common property level, ensures that individual charging doesn’t compromise building electrical supply.
Frequently Asked Questions
In an apartment, a level 2 (mode 3) charge point is required to charge any electric vehicle as recommended by the AS3000 standards. Our EV chargers provide controlled, insulated, and protected power supplies.
Our chargers meet all Australian and European standards and regulations, including those we are not required to meet for maximum safety and confidence in your electric vehicle system.
The equipment, depending on who has paid for the infrastructure will be owned entirely by the payee. EVSE can be engaged for any further works, as well as for post-installation maintenance.
Depending on the active managing of the charger’s load – if full supply is available meaning no power limitations, the chargers can charge:
- 22kW - up to ~120-130km of range each hour
- 7kW - up to 40km of range each hour
This is dependent on the vehicle plugged in, some vehicles take 7kW single phase, 11kW three-phase and seldom 22kW three-phase.
Your EV charging infrastructure is built handover-ready. Once residents move in, the Owners Corporation selects how power is billed - either recovered automatically through our Exploren software, or wired directly to individual tenancy meters. This is configured after handover, so there's nothing for you to manage during construction.
An initial consultation and site inspection will need to be organised to determine costings around your chosen EV charger implementation. Each site varies vastly in terms of practicality of installation as well determining site specific conditions such as available supply and cable run distances.
The hardware and installation come default with 2 year warranty if EVSE is at fault with the charger and installation.
Our preferred smart charging system, Exploren, comes with our Smart Reporting platform which is both OCPP 1.6 and dual API enabled.
The automated billing system itemises charge activity by charge point, cost and kWh consumed.
Our multi-purpose platform is able to apply various pricing strategies – bill by the duration of charge or the electricity consumed.
Furthermore the API allows integration into next generation building management systems and automated data exporting.
With any large development attention needs to be paid to electrical demand. The requirements for EV Charging can often outstrip demand.
Using our OCPP-enabled systems helps you maximise the provision of charging points allowing you to balance loads automatically.
Load Management is the most advanced safety feature offered by a variety of our products through the Exploren Network. This feature helps protect the properties’ electrical infrastructure while maintaining efficient operation of the Charging Infrastructure.
Unlike other appliances, EV charging stations consume a large amount of power during operation. If there isn’t any form of load control, these stations may cause unexpected power outages or damage the electrical Infrastructure of the property.
Through using OCPP, the charging systems have the functionality and capability to do 3 forms of load management, with ALM being the most advanced form of dynamically managing the EV charging system based on available power.
As Australia's largest supplier for developers, we have the expertise to minimise risks and ensure a successful rollout of EV charging across your development. Our process begins with our sales and engineering team consulting with the developer to review their plans and provide tailored recommendations for the required system. We then create detailed engineering and schematic designs based on the developer's specifications and collaborate with the building electrician to establish the necessary infrastructure. We offer an optional turn-key installation service, or we can provide support as needed. Following installation, we handle charge point commissioning and onboard users, ensuring a smooth transition. Our services also include software and firmware upgrades, live monitoring of the building's infrastructure, and ongoing maintenance, all with low fees.

It depends on when construction commenced and your state's specific adoption provisions. In most jurisdictions, the NCC 2025 EV requirements apply to developments that commenced construction after the state's adoption date, regardless of DA lodgement date. EVSE can advise on the specific application to your project.
Installing conduit, switchboard provisions, and cable capacity at construction typically adds $800 to $3,000 per apartment equivalent to the construction cost. Retrofitting the same infrastructure after construction, requiring work in finished walls and ceilings, typically costs $4,000 to $12,000 per apartment. The cost of getting EV-ready right at construction is a fraction of the retrofit cost.
The EV infrastructure in a multi-residential or commercial development needs to be designed as part of the overall electrical design, not added as an afterthought by a separate trade. Poorly designed EV infrastructure that doesn't meet NCC requirements creates compliance exposure and retrofit cost. EVSE works with your project's electrical engineer to integrate EV provisions correctly from the design stage.
