Calgary is launching the first phase of a new pilot program that provides funding to residents living in multi-residential buildings to install electric vehicle chargers.
Starting Sep. 24, residents can apply for up to $4,000 to work with a qualified pro to develop a customized electric vehicle charger installation plan, provided they have permission from the building owner.
The first phase of ChargeYYC is meant to help reduce costs and make it easier for Calgarians in apartments and condos to own charge electric vehicles.
“Helping remove barriers and installing electric vehicle chargers in multi-residential buildings is a key step in supporting the growing number of Calgarians who are choosing electric vehicles” says Mariam Bello, mobility policy engineer for the city.
“The ChargeYYC multi-residential pilot is designed to prepare building and homeowners for the future of mobility while also helping to inform the future of city policy on electric vehicle charging.”
The city says the pilot is part of their ongoing commitment to prepare for the future of mobility and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Calgary.
Residents can apply for funding on the city’s website.
