When a global tech giant moved into a prestigious building in Sydney, Australia, they encountered a significant challenge with the existing underground parking infrastructure. The parking lot had outdated, unconnected EV chargers that were not only incompatible with most electric vehicles (EVs) but also could not be centrally managed. This limitation even prevented the company's own CFO from charging his electric car at work.
Challenge
The building needed a comprehensive EV charging solution that could accommodate all types of EVs and plug-in hybrids, while also offering centralised management and seamless integration into their high-tech environment. The existing chargers were incompatible with multiple vehicle types and lacked the connectivity needed for efficient management and control.
Solution
To address these challenges, the building partnered with Ohmie GO who selected Teltonika TeltoCharge Smart EV Chargers. These chargers were chosen for their versatility, reliability, and aesthetic appeal. The TeltoCharge units are compatible with any EV or plug-in hybrid, ensuring that all employees, including the CFO, can conveniently charge their vehicles at work.
Integration with Ohmie GO’s Platform
Ohmie GO facilitated the installation and now provides end-to-end management of the charging experience through their in-house developed EV charger management software and seamless customer facing smartphone APP. Ohmie GO’s solution offers the building a fully managed service, including monitoring, support, and maintenance for both the software and hardware as well as 24 hour customer support and billing for those charging their EVs. The integration ensures that the tech giant’s EV chargers are always operational and optimized for use, while Ohmie GO handles all technical aspects and customer support, making it simple for the building and the tech company's employees.
Aesthetic Enhancement
In line with Ohmie GO’s focus on customer experience, the TeltoCharge units have also elevated the visual appeal of the company’s EV charging spaces. The elegant wooden front plates of the chargers add a luxurious finish to the underground parking area, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the Australian headquarters. Moreover, the customisable front plates allow for easy and cost-effective updates in the event of a re-brand or building makeover, ensuring the chargers remain aligned with the company’s evolving brand identity.
Results
The installation of TeltoCharge EV chargers, managed by Ohmie GO, has transformed the tech giant’s headquarters into a modern, fully equipped hub for electric vehicles. The company now enjoys a suite of ultra-reliable, fully connected chargers that cater to all EV models, backed by end-to-end support and maintenance from a local provider. This seamless integration of functionality and design has not only solved the immediate charging challenges but has also future-proofed the building’s infrastructure for years to come.
