EV Ready Plan
An EV Ready Plan is a strategic document prepared for multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs) or other developments in BC to ensure the property is equipped for current or future electric vehicle charging needs.
- Purpose: To assess the building’s electrical capacity, and infrastructure so it can accommodate a specified percentage (often 100%) of parking stalls with EV charging capability.
- Scope: Includes electrical load analysis, proposed upgrades to distribution systems, and charging station specifications.
- Regulatory Context: Many BC municipalities (including Vancouver, Burnaby, and others) now require EV Ready infrastructure as part of new construction or major renovations under local bylaws and the BC Building Code’s energy provisions.
- Deliverable: A report outlining the technical design, cost estimates, and compliance path for installation, ensuring readiness without costly future retrofits. We would also apply for rebate on behalf of Strata.
