Thanks to a new licensing partnership with Canada-headquartered Precast Forte Group, Australian contractors can now access this pre-engineered, time-saving solution that has already transformed electric vehicle (EV) charger installations across the U.S., Canada, and portions of Europe.
With the Australian government providing significant financial incentives for expanding EV infrastructure, the introduction of EV Blocks comes at the perfect time. Programs like the EV Destination Charging Grant are helping businesses and municipalities install more charging stations, but contractors still face delays and rising costs due to site conditions.
EV Blocks solves this challenge by eliminating weather-related delays and simplifying installation, ensuring that projects stay on schedule and within budget.
Macros Energy, led by David Ross and Colin McGregor, recognised this opportunity and are now making EV Blocks widely available across Australia.
“We began an EV charger installation project on a cold, rainy day in Orange, and three days turned into a week. Contractors lose money before they’ve even begun a project. EV Blocks eliminate that problem, allowing contractors to stay on schedule and protect their margins,” said Colin McGregor, Co-Founder of Macros Energy.
Through licensed partnership, The Precast Forte Group provides product expertise, and ongoing support to ensure Macros Energy’s success in delivering EV Blocks to the Australian market.
“This is exactly the kind of partnership Forte was built for—connecting innovative solutions with the people who can bring them to new markets,” said Mike Klotthor, President of The Precast Forte Group.
“With government grants accelerating EV charger installations, contractors need a reliable foundation solution that won’t slow them down. We’re excited to support Macros Energy as they expand access to EV Blocks in Australia.”
Within weeks of launching, Macros Energy has begun fulfilling orders for EV Blocks across Australia, including multi-site petrol stations, wineries, and gardens expanding their EV charging capabilities. The company currently offers both DC charging bases and Standard Level 2 bases, with the Level 2 solution driving the bulk of initial demand.
