Why Plug n Drive

The complete EV solution
for your complex

We handle every aspect — from the initial electrical assessment to ongoing maintenance — so your body corporate approves the project and leaves the rest to us.

💸

No Cost to the Body Corporate

The shared backbone infrastructure is fully financed by Plug n Drive. The body corporate approves — residents pay only for their own charger and actual usage.

🔌

100% of Bays EV-Ready

Our scalable design means every resident can add a charger — now or in the future — without any additional major infrastructure work.

🛠️

Intelligent Load Management

Our smart system dynamically balances power across all chargers, preventing overloads on your building's existing electrical supply.

FAQ

Common questions from body corporates

Does the body corporate need to pay anything? +
No. Plug n Drive finances and installs the shared backbone infrastructure at no capital cost to the body corporate. Residents pay only for their personal charger and their actual electricity usage.
Will chargers overload our building's electrical supply? +
No. Our intelligent load management system dynamically distributes available power across all active chargers, ensuring the building's capacity is never exceeded — regardless of how many residents charge simultaneously.
What if only one or two residents have an EV right now? +
That's the ideal time to install the backbone. We design the system to be 100% scalable — any future resident can add a charger without additional major infrastructure work.
Is it compatible with all electric vehicles? +
Yes. All Plug n Drive chargers use the universal Type 2 connector, compatible with every EV and PHEV sold in South Africa — Tesla (adaptor), BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volvo, Nissan, and more.
How does billing work between residents? +
Each charger is individually metered. Residents receive a monthly statement based solely on their own actual energy consumption. There are no shared costs — usage is completely separate.
How long does the installation take? +
The backbone infrastructure typically takes 1–3 days depending on complex size, scheduled to minimise disruption. Individual charger installations are then completed within 24–48 hours per unit.
