Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Strata Corporation need a legal framework to install EV Charge Stations?

Yes, it does. Depending on how parking stalls are designated (Limited Common Property or Common Property), a formal resolution, usually requiring a ¾ approval of owners, will be needed to amend or add to the existing Bylaws of the Strata Corporation.

Does installing an EV charger on common property require approval at a general meeting?

 Yes, for several reasons:
1. To authorize expenses not in the operating budget

2. To approve significant changes in the use or appearance of common property

3. To approve any necessary bylaw amendments

A ¾ vote resolution is typically required for these approvals.

Can the strata corporation charge users of EV chargers for electricity?

Yes. Section 110 of the Strata Property Act enables the strata corporation to charge a user fee based on consumption rate. This can be used to recover both electricity and installation costs.

What makes up an EV charging system?

An EV charging system typically includes:

- Electric Vehicle (EV)

- Electric Vehicle Service Equipment (EVSE) - the charging station

- Smart Chargers for load balancing

- Energy Management System (EMS) for monitoring and controlling energy allocation

- Intelligent Chargers that can be managed based on building demand

What is the difference between Level 1, 2, and 3 EV charging?

Level 1: Standard 110V outlet, slow charging (about 7km range per hour)

Level 2: 208V outlet, medium charging (about 40-50km range per hour)

Level 3: High-powered "superchargers", fast charging (100km+ range per hour)

For most strata properties, Level 2 charging is the most practical and cost-effective option.
