IMPORTANT INFORMATION

You may experience some difficulties with your home charger installation if you:

  • Do not have your own electrical meter (not shared with any other residence or suite within your residence/building).
  • Do not have a WiFi (internet connection). Also, the WiFi connection must be strong enough to reach the charging location in the garage. If it’s not, you may need a booster.
  • Live in a stratified property. Depending on the requirements of your individual strata, you may or may not be able to install a charger. It’s up to you to find out the requirements for your property. Useful step-by-step information can be found on the Metro Vancouver website.
  • Do not have a major credit card.
