Electric Vehicles And Property Maintenance

With an increasing number of people opting for electric vehicles, Owners Corporations and Rental Providers need to consider a host of related issues to upgrade and protect their property while supporting the transition to renewable energy. Some of the aspects to consider include:

• Charging facilities
  • Deciding the type and number of chargers to be installed
  • Does the property infrastructure support multiple chargers
  • What is the cost of installation and management
  • How can the OC recover costs for charger use
• Building insurance
  • Do EVs change the fire risk rating for a property? If so, what is the impact on premiums
  • Measures to mitigate any increase in the fire risk
• OC and Property Management obligations 
  • Understanding the distinction between responsibilities of the OC Manager and the Property Manager

Our guest speakers James Dunstan from Supa Energy and David Ellis from Strata Community Insurance have extensive experience in this area. Michael Nardella, long time REIV Member and OC Manager will also share his learnings as a CFA volunteer who has experience in battery fires.

Members are encouraged to share this webinar with their colleagues and clients who may find this information useful.

Neville Sanders of the Owners Corporation Chapter Committee Member will MC the webinar.
