Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure in New Developments City of Richmond 1

Agenda 1 – 1: 10 pm 1: 10 – 1: 30 pm 1: 30 – 2 pm 2 – 3 pm Introductions Context & Draft EV Charging Infrastructure Requirements EV Charging Requirement Options & Costing Study – Summary of Methods & Findings 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 4

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

EV Market Share – BC & Canada >1% vehicles sold Source: Fleetcarma. 2017.

EV Market – Global • Market growing rapidly • ~1% of all sales, globally • Only 0. 2% of global vehicle stock Source: International Energy Agency. 2017. Global EV Outlook 2017.

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 L 2 charging Manages peak load; reducing utility costs Can facilitate billing Source: Ever. Charge.

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 L 1 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 k. Wh 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? Co. R has secured ~$10 k from BC Hydro to develop solutions • Others?
