I think for CoV to be requiring EV charging for stations is a good initiative to move toward a sustainable future.
Nevertheless, it almost seems to me another one of those "yeah, I think that's a good idea" while ignoring what it actually means IRL.
If they require DC fast charging of anything more than 25kwh, that requires 3 phase power. Now, the upgrade costs an arm and leg, but worse yet, BCHydro is a bitch if you ever ask them about 3 phase power unless you are a farm or industrial.
I've been trying to get 3 phase power on a project that I'm working on, and let's just say it's not as simple as calling BC Hydro and tell them you are looking to do an upgrade. There's design involved, study, codes (electrical AND BCHydro's own liking), etc.
Should they put this into a mandatory requirement, I hope they work something out with BC Hydro that makes getting 3 phase power a bit easier. There's no need for so much approval process, bordering buraucratical about who gets what (my project's neighbour has a little shop with 3 phase, and somehow that's of my concern as well when doing MY application
)
