Increasing access to equitable home charging in multifamily buildings is a key challenge of the transition to electric vehicles (EV). 🚘⚡🏢🏘 Dunsky is pleased to share a national roadmap for tackling the issue of home charging in multifamily buildings by scaling comprehensive EV futureproofing strategies, developed for our clients, the Green Municipal Fund and LC3 | Low Carbon Cities Canada | Ligue des communautés canadiennes sobres en carbone. With the support of the Alectra GRE&T Centre and McCarthy Tétrault LLP, our roadmap presents the business case for taking a comprehensive rather than piece-meal approach. Specifically, it recommends actions for governments, utilities and development financial institutions to: ➡ Encourage designs that use EV Energy Management Systems (EVEMS) to lower the costs of implementing EV charging infrastructure that will ultimately be available to all residents. ➡ Update legislation across all levels of government to address barriers to electrification. ➡ Introduce thoughtfully designed incentives and financing programs that encourage buildings to implement EV charging in the ways that are most equitable and cost-effective over the life of the building. ➡ Empower residents and building owners through capacity building and education programs that promote standardized approaches and best practices. The report also proposes recommendations to require all parking in new developments be EV Ready. To read more and consult the full report, visit the link below: https://lnkd.in/ey9-jYVy

Very happy to see our report for Green Municipal Fund and LC3 | Low Carbon Cities Canada | Ligue des communautés canadiennes sobres en carbone inform their recommendations for enabling comprehensive EV futureproofing for multifamily buildings across Canada. It was a privilege to work with Brendan McEwen and Lindsay Wiginton, with support from McCarthy Tétrault and Alectra GRE&T Centre to deliver this roadmap. With a third of Canadians living in multifamily buildings, ensuring access to EV charging at home is critical to achieve transportation equity goals and broader climate targets. But current approaches to EV charging installations — typically installing a few chargers at a time, without planning for expansion — uses electrical capacity inefficiently, making subsequent expansion much more expensive, and risks stranded assets. Relative to incremental approaches, comprehensive futureproofing offers: 🔌 Better efficiency, optimizing buildings' limited electrical capacity 💲 Lower costs, leveraging economies of scale and smart energy management ⚖ Greater equity, ensuring everyone can access charging at home and benefit from the clean energy transition Read the report: https://lnkd.in/etPNAmrH Read the briefing: https://lnkd.in/efmMR5z3

“Charging at home” currently represents 80% of all EV charging, yet multifamily homes — ie. 31.4% of all US housing — routinely lack the infrastructure to enable widespread EV access for tenants. This is why MRV is proud to have led the latest round of funding for Orange. And here's how they solve the problem: By Matt McElhattan and Jimmy Teng

Existing buildings-especially here in New England- weren't built with electric vehicle charging in mind, making it a challenge to install chargers without breaking the bank. But what if you could add EV charging without the need for expensive electrical upgrades? Our case study shows how a condo building was able to install 21 charging stations using a private charging model and smart optimization to manage energy usage and reduce costs. https://lnkd.in/eZsTX5em #EVcharging #sustainability #propertymanagement

A recent survey by SWTCH Energy highlights a strong link between electric vehicle (EV) ownership and access to charging infrastructure in multifamily residential properties across the U.S. The survey reveals that residents of apartments and condominiums are 2.5 times more likely to own an EV if they have home charging facilities. The study surveyed 1,567 consumers from various generations, renting or owning non-standalone homes in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, and Tampa. https://lnkd.in/gXmA22tJ #EVcharging #ElectricVehicle

The latest updates to home energy efficiency standards from HUD and USDA are set to make significant impacts across the housing sector, particularly for new home construction. By adopting the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2019, these standards are poised to reduce energy bills by up to a third, offering substantial savings for homeowners and contributing to environmental sustainability. This initiative will notably affect one in four new homes, particularly benefiting affordable housing and starter homes, which are crucial for many American families. The projected energy savings are especially impactful in states with high rates of new construction, such as Texas and Florida, which will see the most substantial number of homes built to these new standards. Moreover, the standards are set to enhance resilience against extreme weather, reducing potential heat wave-related issues in hot states and improving safety during cold snaps in northern regions. This is a critical step forward in building safer, more sustainable communities. The broader implications of this rule could encourage more widespread adoption of higher-efficiency standards in the housing industry, potentially influencing local codes and spurring further innovation in building practices. This could lead to enhanced climate resilience and economic benefits well beyond the homes directly covered by the new standards.

Lifestyle coach: I help expats engineer a life of freedom and financial stability, so they can travel home to see family AND travel the world.
7moGlad to see the conversations are progressing. I see many peers and friends choosing an EV and having to sacrifice parking on site as an example. As our population keeps booming, squeezing every bit of space in building designs will be important. I'm excited to see how future buildings will get creative to fit in EV charging while maximizing every inch available.
