Taipei City subsidy up to NT$250,000

Safer for your building. Better for your car. More attractive to buyers.

Add EV charging to your apartment complex without overloading your power supply. Cubica Power provides the energy management system the government recommends — and government subsidies help pay for it.

Home Buyers Are Asking: Can I Charge Here?

As EVs enter more Taiwanese households, charging is becoming part of how people choose a home.

Home charging is shifting from a "nice-to-have" to a basic requirement buyers look for.

Parking spaces will split into three tiers — charging installed, wiring ready, and nothing prepared. Spaces with nothing prepared may lose value as demand shifts.

Buyers will be more interested in your home — and that makes your home more valuable.

Government Subsidies Help Pay for It

Several local governments in Taiwan offer subsidies for EV charging in apartment buildings. In Taipei City, for example, the program covers buildings that add non-profit EV charging infrastructure. The energy management system (EMS) — exactly what Cubica Power provides — is a subsidized item on its own.

  • Energy management system (EMS): NT$100,000 per set
  • Also covers meter boxes, distribution boxes, cable racks, and main cables
  • Up to 49% of eligible costs (excluding labor), one application per building
  • For buildings with a construction permit issued before 2019-07-01 and a registered management committee
  • Apply within 6 months after installation is complete

Other cities — including Taoyuan, Taichung, New Taipei, and Kaohsiung — run their own programs, often renewed each year. Ask us about yours.

Why Many Committees Hesitate

Power overload

When many residents add chargers, total demand can exceed the building's power capacity and trip the supply.

Resident disputes

Disagreements between residents and management committees over chargers in shared spaces have ended up in court.

Messy wiring

When each resident runs cables from their own meter, the car park fills with scattered wiring that is hard to expand later.

The Setup the Government Recommends

The Energy Administration compares two ways to add charging in apartment buildings. A dedicated building power account with an energy management system (EMS) comes out ahead on every point.

Gentler on Batteries, Safer for Your Building

Your residents' cars are among the most valuable things they own. Our system looks after them every night.

Longer battery life

In a study of 22,700+ EVs, cars charged mostly at lower power lost about half as much battery capacity per year (1.5%) as those relying on frequent fast charging (up to 3.0%). Our Smart Charging Agent charges at the lowest power that still gets each car ready on time, finishing just before departure — so batteries don't sit at 100% overnight.

For electric bus fleets, Taiwan's Ministry of Transportation projects smart charging can extend battery life by 20%.

Automatic power protection

Taiwan's National Fire Agency lists prolonged overcharging and excessive current among the common causes of EV fires. If anything looks abnormal, our agent automatically lowers charging power. It also caps each charger's power and keeps the building's total load within capacity, so your supply doesn't trip.

Everything visible in real time

Your building manager sees every charger on one web dashboard — power, status, and any abnormal readings. With compatible chargers, we also read charger temperature, so we recommend chargers that support it and help you choose.

How It Works

1

Free assessment

We review your building's power capacity, parking layout, and subsidy eligibility.

2

Design & Taipower application

A licensed electrical engineer designs the system and applies for power with Taipower.

3

Install & inspect

A licensed electrical contractor installs the equipment. Taipower inspects it before connecting power.

4

Go live

Cubica Power's EMS starts managing every charger — and we support your subsidy application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need approval from residents?

Charger wiring passes through shared areas, so the management committee handles the installation. If it counts as a major repair or improvement, it needs a resolution at the owners' meeting.

Will it raise our shared electricity bill?

Not with a dedicated building account. It is metered separately from common-area power, so it doesn't affect the common-area contract capacity, and the charging cost can be shared by the EV owners who use it.

What about insurance?

The Energy Administration suggests installation insurance during construction, and public liability insurance afterwards when charging uses a building-wide account.

What about fire safety?

Fire codes already require extinguishers, fire alarms, and automatic sprinklers in apartment car parks. For extra safety, Taipei's model management rules suggest one additional dry-powder extinguisher at each charging space.
