Frequently Asked Questions in Vancouver (FAQ)
What is an EV Ready Plan?
An EV Ready Plan outlines the infrastructure and electrical upgrades required so every parking stall in a building can support a Level 2 charger, including load calculations and conduit planning.
Do I need an EV Ready Plan for my strata?
BC regulations require strata corporations with five or more lots to prepare an electrical planning report by 2026 or 2028, and EV Ready Plans are strongly recommended to support future charging needs.
Can you install chargers after the plan is complete?
Yes. After the plan is approved, we can install Level 2 chargers at your pace, ensuring each installation follows the design and electrical capacity guidelines.
