Commercial EV Charging
Melbourne & Regional Victoria
Your staff, fleet, and customers are switching to EVs. Supply Solar designs and installs the charging infrastructure to keep them moving — from a single workplace charger to a full car park deployment, with the federal DRIVEN grant applied where eligible.
Free Commercial EV Assessment
Site visit, charger design & DRIVEN grant check — no cost.
Applications
Commercial EV Charging for Every Business Type
The right EV charging configuration depends on who is charging, how long vehicles park, and whether you want to integrate with solar. Supply Solar designs each installation around your site.
Fleet EV Charging
Overnight fleet charging at depots and yards — sized to your fleet count and overnight dwell time. AC chargers with load management software mean multiple vehicles charge from the same electrical capacity without overloading your switchboard.
Car Park & Visitor Charging
Public-facing car parks, retail centres, hotels, and office buildings. AC chargers for standard bays where vehicles park for 2+ hours; DC fast chargers where rapid turnaround is required. Integrated payment and access management available.
Workplace Staff Charging
A staff EV charging benefit that costs your business less than a car park subsidy. Employees plug in when they arrive — a 7kW charger delivers a full charge in 8–10 hours, ready by end of day. Paired with solar, the electricity cost per charge drops to near zero during business hours.
Multi-Unit & Strata EV Charging
EV charging in apartment buildings and strata schemes requires careful load management across shared electrical infrastructure. Supply Solar designs multi-unit charging systems that allocate capacity fairly across all residents, with billing handled per-user to avoid disputes over shared costs.
Charger Selection
AC vs DC — Which Is Right for Your Business?
The most common question in commercial EV charging. The answer depends on how long vehicles park at your site — not on which charger sounds faster.
AC Charging
7kW – 22kW · Alternating current
Best for
DC Fast Charging
50kW – 350kW · Direct current

Federal DRIVEN Grant
Driving the Nation EV Charger Program — 2026
Supply Solar manages your DRIVEN application — from eligibility check through to grant approval. We submit the application as part of your installation, so you don't have to navigate the program yourself.
DRIVEN Grant Process
How the DRIVEN Grant Works
The federal DRIVEN (Driving the Nation) EV Charger Program is the primary government incentive for commercial EV charger installations in Australia. Supply Solar handles the full application — here is how the process works.
Free site assessment
We visit your site, assess your power capacity, parking layout, and fleet requirements — and confirm your DRIVEN grant eligibility at the same time.
Charger design & grant application
We design your charging configuration and lodge the DRIVEN application on your behalf. Grant approval is confirmed before installation begins.
Installation
Our licensed electricians install and commission all charging equipment. We coordinate any required switchboard upgrades, civil works, and grid connection changes.
Grant applied to your invoice
The DRIVEN grant is deducted from your total installation cost. You pay the net amount — the grant paperwork is our responsibility.
Solar-Powered EV Charging
Solar + EV
Charge Your Fleet from Solar
Combining commercial solar with EV charging transforms your electricity cost per kilometre. During business hours, solar generation can be directed to EV chargers — reducing or eliminating the grid electricity cost of charging entirely.
Near-zero per-km electricity cost
A commercial solar system generating excess daytime power can effectively charge EVs for free during business hours. At commercial electricity rates, this represents meaningful ongoing savings per vehicle per day.
Optimised together from day one
When Supply Solar designs both your solar and EV charging systems together, the solar capacity, inverter specification, and charger configuration are optimised to maximise solar self-consumption through your fleet. Retrofitting later costs more and optimises less.
Add battery for overnight coverage
A commercial battery system stores excess solar generated during the day and releases it to EV chargers during evening or early-morning fleet departures — extending the zero-cost charging window beyond daylight hours.
Our Process
From Site Assessment to Switch-On
Supply Solar manages the full project — assessment, design, DRIVEN grant, installation, and commissioning. One team, one point of contact.
Free Site Assessment
We assess your site's power capacity, parking layout, fleet size, and dwell times — and confirm DRIVEN grant eligibility before any commitment.
Design & Proposal
A detailed proposal with charger type, quantity, layout, switchboard requirements, DRIVEN grant amount, and a net installation cost.
Grant Application
We lodge your DRIVEN application and manage the approval process. Installation is scheduled once approval is confirmed.
Installation & Commissioning
Our licensed electrical team installs all equipment, handles grid connection, commissions the chargers, and provides staff training where required.

Customer Reviews
Verified Reviews from Melbourne Businesses
"Supply Solar handled our DRIVEN grant application, the switchboard upgrade, and the installation of six charging bays across our depot. The whole project was managed from start to finish — we didn't have to deal with multiple contractors."
"We needed EV chargers in our building car park and weren't sure where to start. Supply Solar assessed the site, explained the AC vs DC options clearly, and we ended up with the right configuration for our tenants. Great communication throughout."
"The DRIVEN grant saved us significantly on a 12-bay installation. Supply Solar managed the whole application — I had no idea the grant was even available. Very glad we went through a company that knew about it."
