Every building is different, past prices are no guarantee of future costs, etc.
Paying for electricity
33
Not an issue for houses; more tricky for MURBs (apartments, condos)
Networked and non-networked chargers
34
The EV owner should pay for the electricity they use. That’s fair.
non-networked chargers
networked chargers
MURBs – non-networked chargers
35
Non-networked chargers
less expensiveno ongoing feesno station-to-station interoperability issues
can’t track usage, so…strata / EV owner agree to feesmay lead to strata / EV owner hagglingcould be headache
MURBs – networked chargers
36
Networked chargers
track users / usage exactlyautomatically bills user + reimburses stratasome units can do load-sharing (a.k.a. “EV Energy Management Systems”)
a bit more expensivemonthly fee (for cellphone service)
MURBs – networked payment system
37
1. EV owner pays network for electricity (+ cost-recovery) and network fee
MURBs – networked payment system
38
2. network keeps network fee, pays strata for electricity (+ cost recovery)
MURBs – networked payment system
39
3. strata pays BC Hydro for electricity, keeps cost recovery
MURBs – networked payment system
40
4. result: EV owner pays their way, strata is OK too
MURB Options – house panel

house panel powers common lights, elevators,
