Webinar: Overcoming EV charging barriers in apartment buildings

You’re invited to join Clean Energy Canada’s upcoming webinar exploring ways to overcome EV charging barriers in apartment and condo buildings.

  • Date: Monday, March 31, 2025
  • Time: 10 am PT / 1 pm ET
  • Platform: Zoom

As a recent Clean Energy Canada survey found, younger Canadians are both more inclined to go electric and more likely to live in apartments, thus facing home charging barriers despite their eagerness to adopt. Fortunately, there’s plenty that can be done. This webinar, along with an upcoming Clean Energy Canada report, Electrifying the Lot (released on March 26), will explore the benefits, barriers, and solutions to EV charging in multi-unit buildings. 

Installing EV charging in apartment building lots offers a host of benefits for drivers, utilities, and city planners alike. But costs, electrical infrastructure, and regulations can all pose barriers. Thankfully, these can be overcome with good policies.

In this webinar,  the City of Vancouver’s senior sustainability specialist, Leslie Ng, Hazelview Property’s sustainability manager, Trevor McLeod, RVE’s vice president and co-founder, Marie-Pier Corbeil, and Clean Energy Canada’s director of public affairs, Joanna Kyriazis, will explore ways to overcome EV charging barriers in multi-unit buildings. The panel discussion will be preceded by a short presentation on Clean Energy Canada’s upcoming report on the issue.

Join us at 10am PT/1pm ET on March 31 as one of Canada’s leading climate think tanks is joined by experts in the field to offer informed insight on EV charging in multi-unit buildings.
