EV-Ready Plans for
Strata Buildings in British Columbia
A complete infrastructure blueprint that prepares every parking stall for Level 2 EV charging.
An EV-Ready Plan provides a detailed, engineered layout for EV charging infrastructure throughout a strata building. It outlines conduit routing, wiring requirements, panel upgrades, load management solutions, and design recommendations to ensure every stall can support future Level 2 charging. The EV-Ready Plan often builds on the findings from the Electrical Planning Report, using real capacity data and system analysis to create a safe, scalable, and cost-effective charging roadmap. All engineering work for this service is performed by Arbutus West Agency Ltd. or other registered engineering firms.

What is an
EV-Ready Plan?
An EV-Ready Plan is a technical design document that details how a building can prepare every parking stall for future EV charger installation. While the EPR identifies electrical capacity and compliance requirements, the EV-Ready Plan goes deeper, focusing on the physical infrastructure needed to support charging throughout the property.
An EV-Ready Plan includes:
This plan ensures all future EV charger installations will be safe, equitable, and supported by the building’s infrastructure.

Why EV-Ready Planning Matters
EV adoption in British Columbia continues to accelerate, and strata buildings face increasing pressure to support widespread charging. Without an EV-Ready Plan, buildings risk:
An EV-Ready Plan creates a building-wide approach that is fair, future-proof, and aligned with BC’s electrification goals.

How the EV-Ready
Plan Works with the EPR
The EPR and EV-Ready Plan are independent services, but they complement each other. For maximum clarity and cost efficiency, FPS recommends completing the EPR first, then using those findings to inform the EV-Ready Plan. However, EV-Ready Plans can be completed independently when required.

EV Readiness Made Clear
Our EV-Ready Planning Process gives strata councils a clear, practical roadmap for preparing every building for future charging needs. Through a structured engineering approach—spanning building reviews, on-site inspections, electrical analysis, and detailed infrastructure design—we identify the most efficient and cost-effective pathways to support long-term electrification. Each step ensures your plan is tailored, scalable, and ready for council approval.
The EV-Ready Planning Process:
01
Step One
Building Review
We review building drawings, parking layout, electrical access points, and structural considerations.
02
Step Two
On-Site Inspection
We assess electrical rooms, panelboards, conduit routes, parkade pathways, and potential installation challenges.
03
Step Three
Electrical Analysis
We evaluate spare capacity, transformer limits, panel space, and opportunities for load management.
04
Step Four
Infrastructure Design
We develop detailed routing diagrams, wiring strategies, equipment placement, and feasibility assessments.
05
Step Five
Staging Recommendations
FPS fully outlines phased installation options, cost ranges, and scalability strategies.
06
Step Six
Final Deliverable
You receive a complete EV-Ready Plan tailored to your building with clear diagrams, cost guidance, and next steps.
Addressing these commonly-found issues early
saves strata corporations time, cost, and operational disruption:

Costs & Timeline
Understanding the financial and scheduling expectations of an EV-Ready Plan helps stratas budget confidently and plan ahead. Project costs vary based on parking layout, stall count, and routing complexity, while infrastructure preparation is influenced by the building’s design. Most EV-Ready Plans are completed within four to eight weeks, providing councils with a clear, actionable roadmap for future EV charging installations.
They key details:
These cost and timeline ranges give councils a realistic foundation for planning future EV infrastructure. With a clear roadmap in place, stratas can budget confidently, phase upgrades effectively, and move toward full EV readiness at a manageable pace.

Quick Answers to
Common Questions
001
Do we need an EV-Ready Plan if we already completed an EPR?
Yes. The EPR evaluates capacity; the EV-Ready Plan designs the infrastructure. Both are essential steps.
002
Can owners install chargers without an EV-Ready Plan?
It is not recommended. Without a coordinated plan, electrical systems can become overloaded or inaccessible for future residents.
003
Does EV readiness require chargers to be installed?
No. EV-Ready means the infrastructure is prepared so chargers can be installed later when needed.
004
Does an EV-Ready Plan help
us qualify for rebates?
Yes. Most rebate programs require an EV-Ready Plan to demonstrate compliance.
