If you are managing property in Sydney right now, you can feel the shift. From the retrofit projects in Parramatta high-rises to the fleet transitions happening in Western Sydney logistics hubs, the race to electrify is officially on.
But let’s be real: Sydney is a tough market. We have the highest density of strata living in the country, some of the strictest council DAs, and a power grid that gets notoriously sweaty in February.
Buying an EV charger here isn't just about picking a box from a catalogue. It’s about finding a partner who knows the difference between a simple install in the Shire and a nightmare retrofit in the CBD. You need local stock, local support, and hardware that won't melt when the Penrith sun hits 45°C.
Below, we break down the Top 7 Distributors commanding the Sydney market in 2026. These are the teams with warehouses in our backyard. (But keep reading to the end to find out who helps you keep the lights on).
Why they made the list: While many competitors are just satellite sales offices for Melbourne or Brisbane HQs, EVSE Australia calls Sydney home. Headquartered right in the industrial heart of Silverwater, they are the "home team" advantage. If you need to physically look a product manager in the eye or pick up urgent stock for a job in Homebush, they are the most accessible experts in town.
They have a fully operational showroom in Silverwater (14 Millennium Ct). In an industry dominated by online-only dropshippers, being able to walk in and test the cable management mechanism yourself is a rare luxury.
Why they made the list: JET Charge might be a national giant, but their Sydney presence is massive. Operating out of Macquarie Park, they are the installation muscle behind some of the city's biggest fleet transitions, including Team Global Express and Woolworths. If you see a branded electric delivery truck in Sydney, JET Charge likely built the plug it returns to.
JET Charge is pioneering "Vehicle-to-Grid" (V2G) technology, which is set to become a game-changer for Sydney's grid stability. They are actively working on projects that allow EV fleets to sell power back to the grid during those lucrative summer peak events.
Why they made the list: Based in Wetherill Park, Solar Juice is the undisputed king of the "Solar + EV" combo. As the country’s largest solar distributor, they are the first stop for installers in Western Sydney who are bundling rooftop PV, batteries, and EV chargers into a single residential or commercial quote.
Their Wetherill Park warehouse is massive. When global supply chains crunch and other distributors run dry, Solar Juice often has the depth of stock to keep projects moving.
Why they made the list: With their Australian headquarters in North Ryde, Rexel is perfectly positioned near Sydney's "Silicon Valley." Their dedicated division, Rexel Energy Solutions (RES), focuses purely on the technical complexities of energy efficiency. They are less "box movers" and more "technical consultants".
Rexel offers specialized training for Sydney installers. They don't just sell the hardware; they teach your team how to commission it, which is often where the "smart" features fail during installation.
Why they made the list: Known to every sparkie as "L&H", their Sydney City branch on York Street is legendary. They are the most accessible wholesaler for CBD contractors who need parts now. When a charger goes down in a Circular Quay parking garage, L&H is usually where the replacement breaker comes from.
Sonepar is the world’s largest B2B electrical distributor. That global buying power means they often get priority allocation of stock from major brands like Wallbox and Schneider, even when the rest of the market is waiting.
Why they made the list: Middy’s might be famous for their "Pink" branding, but don't underestimate their technical chops. After acquiring the legendary Salmon Bros, their Padstow branch became a hub for technical expertise. Their TechEnergy division helps integrators design smart home and smart building systems.
Middy's is Australia’s largest family-owned electrical wholesaler. That independence often makes them more agile and willing to support niche product lines than the big corporate giants.
Why they made the list: NHP is the heavyweight of the industrial world. With a major facility in Riverview (near Lane Cove), they supply the gear that powers Sydney’s infrastructure. If you are charging electric buses or heavy machinery, NHP’s partnership with Delta provides the ruggedized hardware you need.
NHP offers local customization. They can modify units in their Riverview facility to meet specific NSW transport standards, drastically reducing lead times compared to waiting for a custom factory order from overseas.
The truth is, unless you're a licensed electrician, you aren't going to buy a pallet of chargers from NHP and wire them up yourself. You need a contractor.
While the "distributors" listed above supply the hardware, the installers below are the ones who dig the trenches, upgrade your switchboard, and deal with the ASP Level 2 grid connections. If you want a "supply & install" quote without the headache, these are the Sydney names you need to know.
If you are upgrading a massive industrial site or a substation in Western Sydney, you call Caslec. They are legendary Level 2 Service Providers who handle the high-voltage grid connections that smaller sparkies can't touch.
While their name sounds like a distributor, they are actually a specialized installation service. They offer "Turnkey" packages where they supply the charger (usually Ocular, Tesla, or Wallbox) and handle the installation in one fixed price.
These guys are engineers first, installers second. They specialize in "Power Factor Correction" – basically cleaning up the electricity in your factory so you don't waste money. When they install EV chargers, they do it with a deep understanding of your building's total energy load.
Based in the Shire but operating everywhere, CForce is a go-to for Level 2 ASP work. This means they are authorized to touch the dangerous wires coming from the street to your building. If your charger install requires a "Service Fuse Upgrade" (and it often does), these are the guys.
Sometimes you don't need a multinational engineering firm; you just need a reliable, communicative sparkie who shows up on time. Grove Spark has built a reputation in Sydney's north-west for high-quality residential and light commercial work without the corporate runaround.
Before you sign that purchase order, let's clear up a supply chain headache that trips up even seasoned facility managers.
Most people spend 90% of their energy choosing the Distributor and 10% thinking about Operations. That ratio is a recipe for disaster.
Selecting a distributor is a critical procurement decision, but it is only "Day 1". Whether you choose a rugged unit from NHP or a sleek tower from EVSE, every asset faces the same "Day 2" reality: hardware degrades.
In Sydney, this is compounded by a massive "maintenance gap". We are installing chargers faster than we are training technicians to fix them. A CPMS (Charge Point Management System) might send you an alert ("Error 404: Connector Lock Failure"), but it cannot dispatch a technician with the correct high-voltage certification or verify the spare part is in their van stock.
Here's where FieldEx enters the equation.
FieldEx is the operating system for the energy transition, bridging the painful gap between detection (IoT/Alerts) and resolution (“boots on the ground”).
For Sydney asset managers leveraging the Drive Electric NSW grants, FieldEx is your insurance policy:
Don’t just install infrastructure. Ensure it actually works.
Sydney is racing toward an electrified future, and the distributors listed above are providing the essential hardware to get us there. Whether you need the local expertise of EVSE Australia in Silverwater or the turnkey power of JET Charge in Macquarie Park, the market has never had better options.
But remember: a charger that doesn't work is just an expensive lawn ornament. As you plan your rollout for 2026, think beyond the install. Think about the technician who needs to fix it in the rain three years from now. Give them the right tools, and your grid will stay green.

Yes. The Drive Electric NSW EV Fast Charging Grants (Round 4) are open until April 2026, offering millions in funding for public fast chargers. There is also the "Electric Vehicle Fleets Incentive" for businesses buying new BEVs and smart chargers.
Yes, but it can be tricky. NSW "Right to Charge" laws have made it easier, but you generally need a by-law approved by the owners corporation. Distributors like EVSE Australia and JET Charge specialize in navigating these strata approvals.
Solar Juice (Wetherill Park) is the leader here. Their Sungrow chargers integrate natively with solar inverters, allowing you to charge your car using only excess solar power.
A distributor (like Sonepar) sells the hardware. An installer (electrician) puts it in. Some companies, like JET Charge, do both (Turnkey), which is often easier for complex commercial projects.
Not necessarily. A standard single-phase 7kW charger is enough for most homes (adds ~40km range per hour). However, for commercial sites or faster 22kW charging, three-phase power is required.
EVSE Australia has a showroom in Silverwater where you can view units from Ocular, Wallbox, and more. This is highly recommended before buying bulk units for a development.
Hardware varies from $2,000 (AC) to $50,000+ (DC Fast). However, in older Sydney buildings, the installation cost (cabling, switchboard upgrades) can often cost more than the charger itself.
Most older Sydney apartment blocks don't have enough spare power for everyone to charge at once. Load management software (like ChargeMate) shares the available power between cars to prevent blackouts.
JET Charge, EVSE Australia and Middy's are Australian-founded. Sonepar and Rexel are global multinationals with strong local Australian operations.
The NSW Government wants to ensure public money isn't wasted on broken chargers. Grant recipients are often required to maintain high uptime and provide data reporting, which is where maintenance software becomes essential.
