For many apartment residents, owning an electric vehicle has always come with a major problem: where do you charge it? Unlike homeowners who can install a charger on their driveway, apartment dwellers often assume they have no choice but to rely on public charging stations—which are not only inconvenient but also expensive.
But what if charging at home was not just possible, but also cost-free to install?
At Ocean Charge, we specialise in bringing fully funded EV charging solutions to apartment blocks, making it effortless for landlords, building managers, and residents alike. And yet, so many people don’t even realise this option exists. In this post, we’re breaking down the common misconceptions, challenges, and how we’re solving them.
The Big Misconception: EV Charging Isn’t Viable for Apartment Blocks
When most people think about EV charging, they picture a private driveway with a home charger. For apartment residents, the assumption is that installing chargers is either:
❌ Too expensive – because landlords don’t want to pay for installation
❌ Too complex – because buildings weren’t designed with EVs in mind
❌ Too impractical – because they assume chargers require individual installations
These are understandable concerns, but the reality is much simpler. The problem isn’t that EV charging for apartments is difficult—it’s that the majority of residents and landlords don’t realise a fully funded model exists.
The Hidden Challenge: Public Charging is Expensive and Unreliable
Without home charging, EV owners living in apartments must rely on public charge points, which come with major downsides:
🚦 Queues & Availability Issues – Public chargers are in high demand, leading to long waits and frustration.
💰 Expensive Rates – Public fast chargers can cost 50% more than home charging.
⏳ Inconvenience – Finding a charger, waiting for availability, and dealing with broken or offline units can be a hassle.
Many EV owners accept this as just part of the experience—but it doesn’t have to be this way.
How Ocean Charge Makes EV Charging at Apartments Work (For Free)
We’ve removed the biggest barriers to EV charging for apartments by introducing a cost-neutral model. That means:
✅ No upfront costs for landlords or residents – We fully fund the charging units, cabling, and infrastructure.
✅ Top-tier energy rates – We work with leading energy providers to get the best tariffs.
✅ Simple, scalable installation – Our system can be expanded as demand grows, future-proofing the building.
The result? Apartment residents can charge their EVs at home without ever having to rely on public charging again.
Why It’s 50% Cheaper Than Public Charging
Public fast chargers are expensive because they factor in infrastructure, maintenance, and profit margins for operators. At Ocean Charge, we take a different approach.
By partnering directly with energy suppliers, we secure tariffs that make at-home EV charging up to 50% cheaper than public charging stations.
This means EV owners in apartment blocks can charge overnight at home and never have to worry about public chargers again.
