The free guide walks condo building decision-makers through the research, planning, and implementation steps needed to navigate issues such as shared ownership and install EV chargers in their parkades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA maze of technical, regulatory, governance, and other barriers have long been concerns for the one-third of Canadians who live in multi-unit residential buildings (MURB) and who want to charge their electric vehicles at home overnight. This guide equips<strong> <\/strong>residents, EV drivers, future EV drivers, and building stakeholders with the practical tools and information they need to confidently navigate and lower those barriers.\u201d \u2014Cara Clairman, president and CEO, Plug&#8217;n Drive<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith the cost of public charging two to eight times higher than charging at home, supporting home charging access means helping more Canadians purchase an EV and unlock the thousands of dollars in annual fuel and maintenance savings that come with it. This is especially relevant as the majority of Canadians aged 18 to 44 are inclined to go electric according to a recent Clean Energy Canada survey, the very group that is most likely to live in MURBs and face their unique regulatory and administrative barriers to installing a charger. This new resource can help close the condo charging gap for those who want EVs most.&#8221; \u2014Rachel Doran, executive director, Clean Energy Canada<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cScotiabank is proud to sponsor <em>Make Your Condo EV Ready,<\/em><strong> <\/strong>as part of our commitment to enable Canadians to adopt sustainability practices.
