Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure in New Developments City of Richmond

1. Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure in New DevelopmentsCity of Richmond

2. Agenda 9 – 9:10 Introductions 9:10 – 9:30 Context & Draft EV Charging Infrastructure Requirements 9:30 – 10:30 Discussion; feedback

3. Official Community Plan Climate Action Targets • Reduce GHGs 33% below 2007 levels by 2020; • 80% by 2050. • Consistent with what is necessary of developed countries to avoid dangerous levels of climate change

4. Richmond Emissions

5. Widespread adoption of Zero Carbon Vehicles Needed to Achieve Targets

6. Community Energy & Emissions Plan • Strategy 7: Promote Low Carbon Personal Vehicles • Action 18: Set minimum requirements for EV charging infrastructure in new developments • Action 19: Continue expanding City-owned network of EV charging stations

7. About Plug-in Electric Vehicles(Climate Impacts, Market Projections, etc.)

8. Types of Electric Vehicles Plug-in Electric Vehicle (EV) Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) Toyota Prius (Hybrid) Chevy Volt Nissan Leaf

13. How fast could markets for EVs grow?

14. “There is a credible path forward for strong EV growth, but much more investment in charging infrastructure is needed globally. The inability to charge at home in many markets is part of the reason why we forecast EVs making up just 54% of sales in 2040, and not a much higher figure.” - Bloomberg New Energy Finance

17. EV Adoption Depends On: • Cost of EVs • Gas prices • EV range • Changing Transportation Systems • Autonomous vehicles • Shared mobility • Government Policy • ZEV requirements (Quebec & 10 US states) • Carbon pricing • Incentives • Access to charging (greatest area of City influence)

20. Options to Support Access to Charging in Richmond

21. Current Official Community Plan Policy Current requirement for multifamily apartments: • a minimum of 20% of parking stalls L1 receptacle • An additional 25% of parking stalls “rough-in”. • 10% of Class 1 bicycle spaces 120 volt receptacle.

22. Council direction to consult stakeholders & propose revised requirements Intent: • Support Level 2 charging. • Provide a greater access for households to EV charging. • Consider provisions for detached housing, townhouses, “at work” or “on the go” charging.

23. Engagement Timeline

24. DRAFT Zoning Bylaw Amendments 7.15 “Provision of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure” 7.15.1 All provided residential parking spaces, excluding those provided for visitors use, shall have access to an adjacent energized outlet capable of providing Level 2 charging to each parking space. 7.15.2 Energized outlets shall be labeled for their intended use for electric vehicle charging. 7.15.3 In cases where an electric vehicle energy management system is implemented, the Director of Engineering may specify a minimum performance standard to ensure a sufficient rate of electric vehicle charging. 7.15.4 One 120 volt receptacle shall be provided for every ten Class 1 bicycle parking spaces.

25. DRAFT OCP Mobility & Access Chapter Amendments Section 8.5, OBJECTIVE 4: Support the adoption of plug-in electric vehicles and other vehicle technologies that can emit zero greenhouse gas and air contaminant emissions. • Support the use of plug-in electric vehicles, including bicycles and mobility scooters, through the mandatory provision of electric vehicle charging infrastructure in new residential, commercial and mixed use developments; • Support renovations of existing buildings to facilitate the integration of electric vehicle charging infrastructure; • Support the ongoing development of publicly accessible electric vehicle charging infrastructure networks, including expanding the City-owned network of public electric vehicle charging stations; • Support the electrification of shared and/or autonomous mobility services.

26. What does this mean for Richmond Builders? • Parking areas in homes & townhouses will require an 240V outlet for the purposes of Level 2 charging • “Smart charging” systems can lower costs in some applications (esp. townhouses)

27. Example:Townhouse - 2-way “load shared” configuration

28. Example:Townhouse - 2-way “load shared” & “load managed” configuration

30. Discussion Questions • How can the City support builders in implementing these requirements? • Where would you expect additional costs when implementing EV charging infrastructure? How might these costs be minimized? • What training would be helpful? • Other comments?
