The BCIT Smart Microgrid Applied Research Team is involved in a research project to investigate efficient ways to retrofit existing multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs), stratas and rental apartments, in the Greater Vancouver area with electric vehicle charging stations. The goal of the project is to provide demonstration sites that show how to develop a scalable plan for installing EV chargers in existing MURBs. For the selected MURBs, BCIT and their electrical engineers will:

For more details please see the document below entitled Do You Need Electric Vehicle Charging Stations in Your Building?

Buildings who would like to be considered for the program should have a member of their Strata Council or their rental building owner complete and submit the Request for Expression of Interest document

If you have any questions please contact via email Project Coordinator Kelly_Carmichael@bcit.ca

The QCB is proactive on the EVCS issue, that is why we brought to the February 2019 AGM, Sukhdeep Gill of CIELO Electric who gave a thorough presentation on how strata’s might consider installing CS in their parkades, where to best locate them and how to choose the right type of station that would work best for them. Sukhdeep say about his presentation, “This presentation provides in-depth information on electric vehicle (EV) charging. It covers information on the different levels of charging, types of charging stations. It also provides factors to consider when installing charging infrastructure in your building and incentives available.”

If you have any further questions, you can contact Sukhdeep Gill at 778.862.4109 or by email at sukhdeep@cieloelectric.ca. For more on what Cielo Electric can do to assist you in your research or installation of CS, please visit their site at cieloelectric.ca
