➢ In the Province of Ontario, Condo boards are obligated to approve within 60

days3 a Home owner/resident’s application to install a charging station also

called EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) unless certain conditions

are not met, such as:

❖ Installations contrary to the Electrical Safety Code,

❖ Affects or damages the structural integrity of the condominium

corporation’s property or assets, or

❖ Represents a serious risk to the health and safety of an individual

➢Electric cars recharge its battery pack just by plugging into the electricity

grid using a simple wall socket or by a charging station also known as EVSE.

All Evs come standard with a cord-set that can be plug into a regular wall

socket.

➢Time to fully charge varies depending on the level of battery charged, and

the level and/or speed of the charger

Level 1: One hour of ChargeProvides 8 KM of range

Lowest speed of charging in the market. One benefit is that it is a universal charger so you can plug-in everywhere you are.

Level 2: One hour of ChargeProvides 30 KM of range

This is the most common level of charging installed at homes, Condos and business in USA and Canada. It has similar electrical requirements for a stove or clothes dryer using a standard charging called J1772. They operate at 240V/30A and it will fully charge an EV overnight.

Level 3: One hour of ChargeProvides 250 KM of range

This quick charging, also called Direct Current Fast Charging, recharges in 30-45 minutes an EV from level 0 to 80%. These DCFC stations can be found in major highways in Canada.

➢According to EV’ specifications available in Canada, an average of estimated

time to charge from 0 to 100% is 29.75 hours for Level 1 Charger, and 6.7

hours for Level 2 Charger, representing in average a 7.51 Kw maximum

continuous electrical draw from vehicle.

➢There are more than 4,500 public charging stations in Canada either free to

use (for customers of a specific business with a time set), and pay-per-use

stations, which typically charges a $2.50 flat rate or $1/hour for a level 2

Station, while Level 3 stations could charge $15/hour.

The most important constraint is regarding with the electrical capacity from

the electrical room or an electrical panel feeding the EV Charging Station in

the parking space where the charging equipment will be installed

As mentioned before, each typical

Level 2 charge station requires

240V/30A, depending on the

number of charging stations to be

installed, it will require a sub panel

or service upgrade to feed the new

demand.

Condo Owner/Resident

• Makes requirement to Property Manager/Board for EV Charging Station installation

• Prepares proposal to be sent to the Board (drawings for EV location and electrical feeding, specifications for EV type & requirements, contract with EV supplier for maintenance-repair-service and conditions)

Property Manager/Board

• Reviews EV charging proposal and Condo Act Regulations (maintenance, repairs, insurance, etc.)

• Send proposal to B&R Electric to evaluate technical feasibility installation (Panel capacity, Electrical Code regulations)

• Responds to Owner/Resident within 60 days (drawings & specifications approval or proposed changes)

B&R Electric

• Proceed with electrical installation (at owner’s expense unless otherwise agreed)

• Receipt of ESA permit

Condo Owner/Resident

• Enters agreement with EV charging equipment supplier

• Pays for installation, EV charging equipment, and operates in accordance with Building policies

Condo Boards should accommodate this EVSE installation requirements from Home owners/Residents unless certain conditions are not met as mentioned before.

Condo Boards has to respond to a complete petition within 60 days.

Condo Boards can provide an alternative solution for EVSE installation to Condo owners in the event it will benefit property and others concerns, keeping in mind that this alternative manner would not cause the owner to incur unreasonable additional costs.

Condo Boards may request a complete application including drawings, plans, and specifications to be reviewed especially if previous precedence has not already been established.

Condo Boards reserve the right that the electrical work to be carried out for EVSE installation, be done by the Condo approved contractors in the preapproved manner.

115 See O. Reg. 48/01, s.24.6

Ontario law establishes that if the owner carries out the installation, then the owner is responsible for all costs to carry out an EVSE installation, unless the owner and the condo agree otherwise.

In the event the building does not have enough electrical capacity to allow this installation, Condo Boards might search for a qualified electrical contractor to conduct an Energy evaluation in order to understand how much electrical capacity the building has and the potential energy savings actions they could take. These costs are not transferable to Home owners/Residents.

As EVs increase over years, buildings without EVSE may be less attractive to potential buyers/residents. Condo Boards should consider additional upgrades in the event it has limited electrical capacity.

Ontario’s new condo regulations provide important new rights for condo boards to install EVSE in common areas if: (a) the assessed cost being lower than 10 per cent of the annual budgeted common expenses for the current fiscal year and (b) in the reasonable opinion of the board, the owners would not regard the installation as causing a material reduction or elimination of their use or enjoyment of the units that they own or the common elements or assets of the corporation5

Ontario does not require condo corporations to pay for the electricity used to charge EVs

without any compensation from condo owners who install EVSE, unless the corporation

agrees to do so. When an Ontario condo board approves an application, the corporation

and the Condo owner are required to take all reasonable steps to enter into an EVSE

installation, use and operation agreement (an EVSE Agreement) within 90 days6. Sales

of electricity on the basis of energy (KWh) or time related demand (KW) is not

permitted. An option is to charge a flat fee based on estimates of how much electricity

an EV might use on a daily basis. Another option is per-use basis by including smart

meters, sign-out systems or networked charging stations. Any approach the Board

selects, should be reflected in the EVSE Agreement.
