    This document discusses options for installing electric vehicle charging systems in condominiums. It notes that allowing individual owners to access the existing electrical system is only a short-term solution, and that properly installing a multi-user charging system is ideal as it will increase capacity and allow costs to be shared between users. While an upfront cost is required, a multi-user system adds value and prepares the condo for more electric vehicles in the future. The document also discusses metering options and factors to consider like installation locations when implementing a charging system.

    Single Run Install or Multi-User Charging System?

    This is a question that many Condos struggle with. On one hand if the demand is not there, it is
    hard to justify spending thousands on a system, on the other hand allowing owners to tap into
    the existing electrical panels sets a precedent that will become very limiting in the future.
    Allowing owners access to the existing electrical room should be viewed as a short-term
    solution, while having the owner cover all costs, which in most cases includes a meter for the
    Condo to charge back for energy used.

    The cheapest and easiest way to meter the usage is with a manual read meter attached to any
    level 2 charging station. The PM will have to read the meter quarterly or annually and bill the
    owner for their consumption. A digital meter or networked charging station will allow for
    remote third party billing but comes with a hefty upfront cost. A Wi-Fi signal needs to be
    installed and a proprietary charging station will need to be used. There are contracts and
    monthly service fees above and beyond the energy used, $20-$25 per month plus revenue
    sharing. The alternative to the two metering options is a flat monthly fee, typically in the $40-
    $50 range which is 30-40% above the average EV energy usage.

    Condos should also be careful not to allow single run installations. With limited space in
    existing electrical panels and limited load capacity, the single run install is not ideal as a long
    term multi-user solution. Once a single run has been approved, the board should start planning
    for the future. A proper multi-user system is ideal as it will double your load capacity, allow
    you to divide the infrastructure cost between the users and has built in billing and monitoring.

    A multi-user system will add value to the entire Condominium and prepares you for the future
    but comes with an upfront cost. Some Condominiums see this as a reason to hold off while
    others believe that once you have an owner interested in EV, then it’s the right time to install
    a proper system. Condos will also try and presell the spots in the system to owners who see
    this as an opportunity, which can help justify installing a system.

    Once a system is decided upon, the Condo will have to choose an installation location. If your
    garage has multiple levels, we will find a central location on one level and core up or down to
    the other levels giving each level equal access to the system. We will then work with each
    owner to get them power from the system to their parking spot.

    Each Condo has their own unique set of needs and we will work with you to customize an EV
    Charging solution that works best for you now and in the future.
