Event Description:


SUZANNE GOLDBERG PRESENTATION
IAN NEVILLE PRESENTATION
BRENDAN McEWEN PRESENTATION
JENNIFER NEVILLE PRESENTATION

Metro Vancouver now has the highest market share of electric vehicles in Canada, with numbers steadily on the rise each year. To support this growth, and to align with local, regional, and provincial goals to reduce greenhouse gases and improve air quality, many municipalities have brought in ambitious construction requirements for new multi-family buildings. The trend in the region is increasingly towards 100% ?EV ready? parking.
 
Our expert panel will provide an overview of these new requirements, and will provide legal and policy insights on them. Brendan McEwen representing the City of Richmond, and Ian Neville from the City of Vancouver, developed their cities? respective EV-readiness requirements. Jennifer Neville is a strata lawyer and a contributor to the City of Richmond?s Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure in Shared Parking Areas: Resources to Support Implementation & Charging Infrastructure Requirements.

This Policy Panel is Part 1 of 2.  Part 2 will focus on technical and design strategies and requirements, and will provide insights into different technology options.
