Follow up to an earlier post asking about EV charging in new builds.

Has or will Victoria be passing any sort of requirement for EV charging stations alike to what has been adopted in Port Moody, Port Coquitlam where rough-ins are required on at least one parking level. The cost to upgrade later can be considerable and manufacturers are quickly moving to electric. All of Volvo by 2020 and other racing to catch up.

For a city so determined to lessen their carbon footprint shouldn't this be a city priority?

The following appears under "Initiate Action by 2020" in the Climate Leadership Plan:

"Design and implement an EV ecosystem strategy, including design guidelines for new development projects, to promote and support the adoption of electrified personal, public, and commercial vehicles." via https://www.victoria.ca/assets/Departments/Sustainability/CoV-ClimateLeadershipPlan.pdf

The Strategic Plan Progress Report received by Council in May this year lists the EV Strategic Plan as a Q4 activity. via https://pub-victoria.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=38001

So... they're still getting there.

Thanks,

A good step forward
