“TSCC 2138 ELECTRIC CAR INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The installation of a charging outlet must be done by and through the owner
is ultimately responsible.
The following is a synopsis of what is required:
1) No installation may be carried out on the exclusive use common
element without the Board of Director’s prior approval.
2) The owner submit to the Corporation (Board of Directors) a detailed
plan for the installation of a charging station or 240V plug. We suggest
that our electrician, Tybrad Electric be used for specification re the
running of the wiring and installation of breaker box and sub meter as they
are familiar with the building. Submission provided by an owner and a 3rd
party contractor will be submitted to Tybrad Electric for their review and
approval (at an additional cost to you) prior to the Board approving the
installation.
The electrical contractor will require confirmation as to the type of
vehicle that will be parked there as a 220/240V plug is not compatible with
all electric vehicles and a Tesla as an example would require a charging
station which would change the electrical install requirements.
Depending on how far they have to run wiring from the nearest electrical
supply the cost would be approximately $3000-$3500 for a 220/240V plug.
This estimate is for the cost of wiring only for a 220/240 plug. The cost
for wiring of a charging station would be more and you would be responsible
to purchase and provide the charging station to the electrical contractor.
3) The owner must make arrangements for a sub meter to be installed and
readings to be submitted to the Corporation. Again, our electrical
contractor can make these arrangements on your behalf. The owner will pay
an initial installation reading cost of $130.00. The sub-meter will be read
annually and back charge to the owner. A $700 deposit is required by the
owner to be kept on file to cover the cost of the anticipated use.
4) Owners may not remove any wiring or equipment including the sub
meter once installed with the exception of an individual charging station.
Removal of the charging station requires the common element to be returned
to its original state by the Corporation at the owner’s expense.
5) Upon the Board of Directors approval a Section 98 Agreement must be
requested and prepared for signature by both parties (Corporation & Owner)
prior to installation. The Section 98 Agreement will be prepared by the
Corporation's solicitor, Shibley Righton LLP. The cost of the agreement and
registration is approximately $1500.00
The owner must prepare, submit and oversee any aspects of the work required.
Neither the Corporation nor Management is responsible for the installation
or to manage the project.
All costs associated with purchase of equipment, wiring, electrical or
engineering review and approval that may be required as well as legal costs
to prepare and register a Section 98 Agreement on title is the sole
responsibility of the owner.
PLEASE NOTE: Electrical Cars are allowed on a first come first serve
basis. At some point the Corporation may have to restrict the number of
charging stations or plug-ins that can be installed in our garage as the
city grid may not have the capacity to withstand the additional draw that
numerous electric vehicles would make.
Please let me know if you have any questions.”
