Canada is on the road to transformation in mobility. The federal government recently announced its zero-emission vehicle sales target, which requires all light-duty passenger vehicles sold by 2035 to be zero-emission.
Battery electric vehicles (EVs) are likely to make up the majority of these sales. This means that hundreds of thousands of EV charging points need to be installed in homes, workplaces, retail spaces and along highway corridors in the coming years.
Most EV charging occurs at home and 85 per cent of current EV owners in Canada live in single-family residences with dedicated parking. The demand for EVs among apartment and condo dwellers has been limited, given the challenges associated with installing EV charging points in multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs).
