As another financial year draws to a close, one thing is clear: EV charging is no longer a future conversation. It is happening now, at scale, and across every sector.
Over the past 12 months, Planit Charge has experienced a 300% increase in orders, with charger installation projects accelerating across Queensland and New South Wales.
What stands out most is the diversity of projects. EV charging is no longer limited to a particular customer, building type or niche application. Demand is now coming from every corner of the economy.
This year alone, we have delivered EV charging infrastructure across:
- High-rise residential developments
- Spare parts distribution centres
- Affordable housing
- Port facilities
- Warehouses and manufacturing sites
- Childcare centres
- Hospitality venues, retail precincts and shopping centres
- Wineries
- Healthcare facilities
- Car dealerships
- Commercial office buildings
- Government departments and council facilities.
What’s Driving the Surge?
Whilst every industry has different operational requirements, the market has clearly matured to the point where EV charging is no longer ‘nice to have’.
Yes, factors such as code compliance, fuel prices, and tax incentives continue to influence adoption. But the past year has revealed something much bigger: a fundamental shift in how businesses and organisations view EV charging infrastructure.
For residential developments, the focus is on future-proofing buildings, intelligent load management and fair access.
Industrial facilities are taking a long-term approach. From distribution centres to warehouses to manufacturing plants, charging infrastructure is now being designed to support staff vehicles, fleet operations, visitors and future expansion.
Government and community infrastructure installations have also accelerated significantly. With projects spanning affordable housing, port facilities, and council assets, EV charging is increasingly being treated as essential public infrastructure rather than an optional inclusion.
Across retail, hospitality and lifestyle venues, the shift has been equally significant. From pubs to wineries to shopping centres, EV charging is rapidly becoming part of the customer experience, encouraging visitors to stay longer and spend more.
Another growth area is automotive dealers who are increasingly integrating charging into their operational and customer handover experiences.
Design & Planning Matter
What our customers across all these sectors recognise is that successful EV infrastructure requires more than simply mounting chargers on a wall. Effective systems require careful design, intelligent load management, proper commissioning and a clear understanding of how charging infrastructure integrates with the wider electrical network.
This is the Planit Charge difference.
Using Schneider Electric technology, we design and deliver complete EV charging systems with scalability, performance, and long-term reliability in mind. Our goal is to simplify the process for contractors, developers, builders, asset owners, and facility managers while ensuring that every installation is safe, practical, and future-ready.
As Queensland’s only Schneider Electric Master EcoXpert for the eMobility badge, we are proud to be delivering projects across such a diverse range of industries and applications. The message from the past 12 months is impossible to ignore: EV charging is no longer emerging infrastructure. It has arrived.
