For Apartment Buildings & Car Parks

EV charging for your building, including installation and billing

Requests for a charge point keep arriving and the electrical supply is the limit. Revtek and Schuurman Technology supply the chargers, the cabling, the sharing of the available power, plate-controlled access to the charging zone and the monthly billing per resident. One quote for the board, one point of contact afterwards.

Sound familiar?

"Requests arrive one at a time and the supply is the limit"

The first three charge points still fit on the supply. By the fourth request nobody knows whether it can be done, and a supply upgrade costs tens of thousands.

"Who may park in the charging bay, and for how long?"

A petrol car in the charging bay, an EV that finished hours ago, a guest taking a resident's space. The board gets the emails and nobody can enforce anything.

"Billing through one shared supply"

The electricity runs through the building's meter. Who charged how much, at what rate, and how does that land fairly in the service charge? A spreadsheet cannot keep up.

Request charging access, charge and pay via WhatsApp

The resident requests charging access with their licence plate. The board approves in the dashboard, the plate goes onto the charging zone list, and the ANPR camera opens the barrier or bollard for that car. The available power is shared live across the cars charging at that moment.

Every session is recorded against the plate. At the end of the month the resident sees usage and amount on WhatsApp, and Revtek collects it via Mollie on behalf of the building. The board gets a per-resident overview for the accounts and the residents' meeting.

What the solution includes

Dynamic sharing of the power

The available power is shared across the cars that are charging. More charge points on the same supply, without tripping the main fuse.

Charging zone controlled by plate

Only cars with charging access enter the zone. An ANPR camera at the zone entrance drives the barrier or bollard and records who was there and when.

Billing per resident via Mollie

A rate per kWh, set by the board. Monthly collection per resident, credited to the building's account. No spreadsheet, no argument at the meeting.

A nudge when the car is full

When charging stops, the resident gets a message after a configurable time asking them to free the bay. If the car stays, an hourly rate can start.

Waiting list and allocation

If there are more requests than bays, the system keeps the order by the rule the board chooses: request date, flat, or a key of your own.

Reporting for the board

Usage per resident, occupancy of the charging zone, peak load and cost per month. Exportable for the accounts and the managing agent.

From the meter cupboard to a working charging zone

Schuurman Technology, our permanent installation partner, handles the site survey, the chargers, the cabling and the ANPR camera at the charging zone. We work with chargers that support the open OCPP protocol, such as Alfen and Zaptec, so the building is not tied to one supplier.

Already have chargers? Then we connect to them and add the management, the charging zone and the billing. Maintenance falls under the service level the building chooses.

1
Survey of the supply and the car park

We measure the available capacity, look at the cable routes to the parking spaces and the position for the camera at the entrance to the charging zone.

2
Plan and quote for the board

How many charge points fit on the current supply, what an upgrade would cost, and what the building pays per month. One document for the meeting.

3
Installation

Chargers, cabling, distribution board and camera are fitted and connected to the Revtek platform. Any supply upgrade is arranged with the network operator.

4
Residents sign up and billing starts

Residents request charging access via WhatsApp, the board approves, and from the first month the billing runs automatically.

EV charging in an apartment building

That depends on the country and on your lease or building rules. In the Netherlands a notification scheme lets an owner install a charger on their own space after notifying the board, provided it fits technically; shared infrastructure such as a supply upgrade or a communal charging bay still goes to the meeting. This is not legal advice; check your own building's rules. Background in our article on the Dutch notification scheme.

Then we share the available power dynamically across the charge points, so more points fit on the same supply without tripping the main fuse. Only if that is not enough does a supply upgrade come into view, and we arrange that with the network operator. Schuurman Technology measures the real capacity during the site survey.

Every charging session is tied to the resident's licence plate or charge card. The board sets a tariff per kWh, with an optional uplift for shared costs. At the end of the month Revtek collects the amount automatically via Mollie and credits it to the building's account. Residents see their usage and cost on WhatsApp.

The system sees when charging stops and, after a configurable time, sends the resident a WhatsApp message asking them to free the bay. If the car stays, the board can set an hourly rate that starts once charging has ended. The ANPR camera at the charging zone records who was there and when.

Schuurman Technology, our permanent installation partner, handles the site survey, the chargers, the cabling and the ANPR camera at the charging zone, in Greater London, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Maintenance afterwards falls under the service level the building chooses.
