16. 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)

17. Options to Support Access to Charging in Richmond

18. Charging “Levels”

19. “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

21. 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

22. 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

23. Richmond’s Costing Study Results

24. 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?
