EV charging for rentals and stratas

Why multi-unit buildings are the perfect location for EV chargers

Happy tenants

Home charging is the biggest barrier to switching to an EV. By installing EV chargers in stratas and rentals, you not only help your tenants make the switch to electric but also increase tenant satisfaction and retention.

Additional revenue

While EVs offer significant energy savings, owners still need a reliable charging solution—and home charging is the most convenient and cost-effective option. Install chargers to unlock a new revenue stream and ensure a stable cash flow.

Up to 50% of project value eligible for rebate

BC Hydro is offering cash rebates for chargers and the necessary electrical upgrades, helping to lower costs and increase your project's profitability

Access to lower rates

Tenants can take advantage of BC Hydro's Time-of-Day Rates, which offer lower electricity rates during off-peak hours, making nighttime charging significantly more affordable.

Smart load management

Let’s face it—many of our electrical distribution grids are struggling to keep up with growing electricity demand, and we don't always have the capacity to charge all EVs simultaneously. Reliable energy management software is essential for monitoring a building’s demand and ensuring EVs share the available power efficiently. However, not all EV management systems are equally reliable. Part of our job is to ensure the systems we implement are both certified, dependable and competitive. As shown in the example on the right, a well-designed system distributes charging capacity among the five plugged-in vehicles, but when only one EV is connected, it can still charge at full power.

Selecting the best EV management solution is not simple

EV charging systems vary widely in design and functionality, and if not optimized for the building environment, they can lead to inefficiencies for both tenants and property managers. Neighbour will recommend a provider that prioritizes management goals and operating perference, and a positive tenant experience.
