Installing an EV charger in an apartment building isn't always straightforward as limited electrical capacity, strata approvals and the cost of upgrading older buildings can all make the process difficult.

In this episode of The EV Charging Podcast, Solar Choice speaks with Carter Li, founder of SWTCH, a Canadian company specialising in EV charging solutions for apartment buildings and shared parking facilities.

Carter shares how his own experience trying to install an EV charger in his apartment building led him to start SWTCH. We discuss the challenges facing apartment residents, how buildings can install chargers without expensive electrical upgrades and what strata committees and building managers need to consider.

We also look at Australia's growing EV market, the arrival of more affordable Chinese electric vehicles and what increasing EV ownership means for apartment charging infrastructure.

Topics covered:

• Why apartment EV charging can be difficult
• How SWTCH got started
• Managing electrical capacity in older buildings
• Strata approvals and the role of building managers
