We’ve recently installed three electric vehicle chargers in our car park in Western Australia to service clients and staff who have been making the investment into electric vehicles (EVs). It’s a great way to harness power from the solar panels we installed many years ago – and plays a part in meeting our carbon emission reduction goals.
It’s the first step towards a bigger goal – to invest in an EV fleet for our vans and trucks.
To realise our vision, we know we have to partner with experts that are at the forefront of EV technology.
That’s why we were delighted to discover ChargeTech, a locally-based Australian company. They installed the chargers and set up a dashboard for us to access data that helps us understand charging patterns and usage. ,
Remote monitoring of our charging stations provides clear insights into our emissions reduction, even with just three stations. It’s encouraging to see how these small steps contribute to our environmental goals.

Through our remote dashboard, BrewHub can access detailed insights into their EV charging operations, helping them make informed decisions for efficiency and sustainability. As the world of EV evolves, so will we. ChargeTech will continue to be a dedicated partner in BrewHub’s journey, ensuring that they are always at the forefront of green energy initiatives and electric fleet expansion.
