The NOX Energy IPS is serving strata properties throughout Australia by providing low-cost infrastructure and charging to residents. Our model has generally been to install IPS’s off of the strata meters with the strata paying for the wi-fi network and the individual residents paying for the IPS + installation. NOX Energy currently has over 300 IPS installs scheduled through early 2025 across strata in QLD, NSW, and VIC.
For Olympia on Russell, NOX was invited to install a pilot IPS to demonstrate our capabilities. The initial IPS was installed for Delong, a part-time Uber driver. Delong has found that even with his high km driving, the IPS and 10A charging have more than met his needs and dramatically lowered his charging costs. It has been such a success that he is considering increasing his hours with Uber and upgrading the power supply to his IPS to 15A.
Nicole has served as the OC point person for this pilot and has been exceptionally happy with the outcome. Due to the success of this pilot, NOX has been engaged to install a further three of IPS’s for other EV drivers in the strata.
The NOX Energy IPS has been installed to support employee and customer charging, often serving both purposes in the same location.
In the case of Metro South Health in Queensland, NOX Energy was engaged to install multiple chargers after their previous L2 installation had proven to be costly ($15K+) and of limited benefit (only 1 parking space). NOX worked with both the hospital system infrastructure manager and parking garage owner to install publicly available chargers in one of their 3 multi-story carparks. These specific IPS’s also included RFID readers. Employees of Metro South Health simply swipe their RFID car to initiate free charging while visitors to the hospital are required to pay for their charging sessions via the NOX App. This dual application ensures benefit and utilisation are maximised for all parties. The pilot has been such a success that Metro South Health has received approval for installation across its’ other 2 multi-story parking garages, each with over 1000 car spaces.

The NOX Energy IPS has been installed at multiple short-term rental (Airbnb) properties in NSW and VIC. The product has allowed owners to install hardware at a fraction of L2 charging solution costs, enhance their listing/improve their occupancy, and ensure charging is done safely with a solution that also recovers the electricity cost.
For Taras and Chee, their Airbnb in Sawmill Settlement, at the foot of Mount Buller is a prized destination for both the ski and mountain bike seasons. Being only 3 hours from Melbourne and 35 minutes from the top of Mt. Buller means plenty of visitors, many of them driving EVs. After fielding numerous inquires about where and how to charge, they decided to install their own charger to meet the needs of their guests and their upcoming EV purchase. This was particularly important given they are in a ‘charger desert’ with the nearest charger over 45 minutes away.
After evaluating several L2 solutions, they realised that there would be almost no way to recover charging costs from guests and even if they could, the hardware and installation costs were so high, that many guests wouldn’t use the charger. They sought out NOX Energy after installing solar and looking for a way to feed that free sunshine directly into EVs at a cost point that wouldn’t break the bank and would ensure guests were charging safely (vs. dragging extension leads all over their property). NOX Energy installed an IPS that provides charging to guests at a fair rate and allows Taras and Chee a simple solution to charge their own EV. Both owners are happy with the solution.
