Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure in New Developments City of Richmond

Agenda 1 – 1:10pm Introductions 1:10 – 1:30pm Context & Draft EV Charging Infrastructure Requirements 1:30 – 2pm EV Charging Requirement Options & Costing Study – Summary of Methods & Findings 2 – 3pm Discussion; Next Steps

Official Community Plan Climate Action Targets Reduce GHGs 33% below 2007 levels by 2020; 80% by 2050. Consistent with what is necessary of developed countries to avoid dangerous levels of climate change

Richmond Emissions City community members $440 million per year on energy

Widespread adoption of Zero Carbon Vehicles Needed to Achieve Targets

Community Energy & Emissions Plan Strategy 7: Promote Low Carbon Personal Vehicles Action 18: Set minimum requirements for EV charging infrastructure in new developments Action 19: Continue expanding City-owned network of EV charging stations

Widespread adoption of EVs is needed to avoid dangerous levels of global warming (30% of passenger vehicle sales by 2030; What is needed to achieve Paris aspiration) Source: International Energy Agency. 2016. Global EV Outlook 2016.

EV Adoption Depends On: Cost of EVs Gas prices EV range Changing Transportation Systems Autonomous vehicles Shared mobility Government Policy ZEV requirements (Quebec & 10 US states) Carbon pricing Incentives Access to charging (greatest area of City influence)

Options to Support Access to Charging in Richmond

Charging “Levels”

“Load Management” & “Load Sharing” Charging Technologies for Apartment Parkades Reduces development costs Equivalent performance to L2 charging Manages peak load; reducing utility costs Can facilitate billing Source: EverCharge.

Access to Home Charging is a Major Determinant of EV Adoption BC Residents’ Access to Home Charging. Source. SFU. 2015. Electrifying Vehicles: Insights from the Canadian Plug-in Electric Vehicle Study.

Official Community Plan Policy Current requirement: a minimum of 20% of parking stalls L1 receptacle An additional 25% of parking stalls “rough-in”. 10% of Class 1 bicycle spaces 120 volt receptacle. Council direction to consult stakeholders & propose revised requirements

Updated Requirements Under Consideration All residential parking spaces shall be “Energized”. “Energized” means - All infrastructure required for charging of an electric vehicle (EV), including all electrical equipment (including metering), cabling and associated raceways, and connections, with exception of the Level 2 EVSE equipment. Performance standard - A minimum performance level of 12 kWh per EVSE, over an eight (8) hour overnight period. Load management and/or load sharing may be implemented. Mechanism Building Regulation Bylaw requirement being considered May remain an OCP policy

Richmond’s Costing Study Results

Issues Impacting EV Charging in MURBs Key issues include: How stratas/building owners can recover the cost of electricity used for EV charging? BCUC clarification How to ensure stratas allow drivers to install EVSE? & Drivers implement appropriate EVSE (smart charging)? “Right to Charge” legislation Contract with charging service provider? Model strata bylaws? CoR has secured ~$10k from BC Hydro to develop solutions Others?
