| EV Charging at Multifamily Communities |
|
 Multifamily communities have unique challenges and there is a spectrum of creative solutions. Many such property owners are looking to such an amenity to attract a new group of tenants, increase their "green" image for marketing; or getting points toward LEED certification.
We are seeing more and more of these plug-in cars on our roads, and with about 50% of our region living in multifamily communities managers of these properties are getting asked more frequently about the possibility of charging.
Multifamily communities have unique challenges and there is a spectrum of creative solutions. Many such property owners are looking to such an amenity to attract a new group of tenants, increase their "green" image for marketing; or getting points toward LEED certification. Do these five things when considering installing charging on your own property:
-
Conduct a survey of residents to see if they plan to purchase an EV
-
Research the options you have for charging
-
Contact an electrical contractor for installation costs
-
Call SDG&E to discuss rate options
-
Contractor will coordinate planning with SDG&E and municipal government for permitting and inspections For a complete list of the seven key steps to know when considering charging installation, visit SDGE Clean Energy. For questions about charging installations at your facility email SDG&E's Clean Transportation Team at [email protected].
