From there, we review the grid connection process, aligning upgrades with your EV delivery dates and consider temporary energy solutions where needed. We design the right system for your depot, then deliver a fully costed, engineered proposal: your complete, executable plan for a confident, on-time transition to an electric vehicle fleet.
SITE AND FLEET ASSESSMENT
No two depots are the same — so we start by understanding yours. Backed by deep experience with commercial & industrial fleet operators, we assess your existing site, current vehicle fleet composition, and operational schedules to understand how electrification fits your business. This isn't an off-the-shelf site plan; it's about designing the right solution for the site and fleet you operate.
ENERGY USAGE AND LOAD ANALYSIS
We start by understanding what's already happening on-site — current energy usage, costs, and tariff structure — then layer in your fleet's future EV charging needs. This reveals where PV solar and battery storage could cut costs, and what total capacity your depot will require. It's the foundation every decision that follows is built on.
UTILITY ENGAGEMENT AND CONNECTION AGREEMENT
Grid connection timelines are a real challenge across Australia and New Zealand, so we engage your local distributor early to confirm available capacity, any augmentation needed, and realistic connection costs and timeframes. We align the upgrade with your new EV delivery dates wherever possible — and if a delay looks likely, we consider temporary, deployable energy and EV charging solutions, so your operations are never left waiting on the grid.
SYSTEM DESIGN AND EQUIPMENT SELECTION
With energy needs and grid capacity confirmed, we select the right EV chargers, power levels, and site layout for your vehicle fleet — plus PV solar and battery storage sizing where it makes sense. Every decision is engineered around your operations, balancing performance, cost, and long-term flexibility to enable you to achieve your business objectives.
ENGINEERING AND DESIGN FINALISATION
Based on this comprehensive and transparent consultation process, we deliver detailed engineering drawings, electrical designs, and a fully costed proposal — built on data, analysis, and experience specific to commercial & industrial fleet electrification. This is your final executable solution, presented for review and approval. Once you're confident and ready to proceed, project delivery can commence with budget and schedule certainty.
Grid connection timelines are one of the biggest challenges facing fleet electrification across Australia and New Zealand today, with some depot projects facing lead times of well over a year. This is exactly why we engage your local distributor early in the process, and why we build a plan B from the start. If a grid upgrade risks running behind your new EV delivery dates, we design temporary, deployable charging solutions to keep your operations moving — so a slow grid never becomes your problem.
Not necessarily. Temporary and mobile charging solutions can be deployed rapidly, without waiting on permanent grid works or lengthy approvals. For many operators, this means your vehicle fleet can start charging well before permanent infrastructure is complete — a practical bridge that keeps your electrification timeline on track, not on hold.
It depends entirely on your site — which is exactly what we assess before recommending anything. PV solar and battery storage can ease pressure on grid capacity, reduce demand charges, and lower your overall energy costs, but the right mix comes down to your current usage, tariff structure, and vehicle fleet charging profile. That’s why energy analysis comes first, and equipment selection follows — not the other way around.
It’s the starting point for almost every fleet we work with, not a barrier. Most depots, workshops, and distribution centres were never designed with EV charging in mind, so understanding your existing site supply, daily load peaks, and local network capacity is a critical early step. That’s exactly what our consultation process is built to uncover — turning an unknown into a clear, workable plan.
Because there genuinely isn’t one. Regional, rural, and metropolitan sites all face different network conditions and infrastructure constraints, and fleet composition, operational schedules, and energy needs vary from customer to customer. That’s why we don’t start with a template — we start with your site, your vehicle fleet, and your operations, and design a solution built specifically around them.
