  • Why consider EV charging?
    Electric vehicles have arrived and we expect rapid deployment of this technology over the next few decades. As a strata corporation, you can get ahead of the curve by being proactive about providing charging.
  • Step 1: Understand your options
    There are five components to this step: the type of charger to use, whether it’s for the present need or future demand, the location, the type of access and cost. These details will help you better understand your charging options.
  • Step 2: Investigate your building’s situation
    Each building is unique and presents its own charging opportunities and challenges. There are three components to this step: assess the parking situation, hire a certified contractor and review strata rules and bylaws.
  • Step 3: Approve (or deny) the request
    A decision is ready to be made. If approved, agreements, bylaws and rules may need to be put in place.
  • Step 4: Install the charger
    Strata council is now ready to hire a certified contractor to install the charger.

    Metro Vancouver


    Metro Vancouver acknowledges that the region’s residents live, work, and learn on the shared territories of many Indigenous peoples, including 10 local First Nations: Katzie, Kwantlen, Kwikwetlem, Matsqui, Musqueam, Qayqayt, Semiahmoo, Squamish, Tsawwassen, and Tsleil-Waututh.

    Metro Vancouver respects the diverse and distinct histories, languages, and cultures of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit, which collectively enrich our lives and the region.
