EV Nook installs and manages complete Level 2 charging infrastructure in strata buildings at zero cost to the strata corporation. Every resident who wants a charger gets one assigned directly to their parking stall — no shared stations, no queues, no disputes over who charged what. Non-EV owners pay nothing. The strata pays nothing. Residents pay only for the electricity they consume.

What makes EV Nook different is that we handle everything — from electrical assessment and permit applications through to installation, ongoing maintenance, resident billing, and 24/7 support. Your strata council approves the project once and never has to think about it again. No capital expense, no ongoing management overhead, no conflict at the AGM over charging costs. Just a building that works for every resident, EV or not.

EV Charging for Strata Buildings — Features

Newer Buildings (EV-Ready) For buildings already equipped with EV-ready conduit and wiring, installation is straightforward. Residents choose the model that works for them:

  • Buy the Charger — resident purchases the hardware outright and receives a maintenance and support guarantee for the life of the service agreement
  • Charging as a Service — no upfront cost; the charger remains EV Nook property and the resident commits to a minimum monthly usage — nothing else to pay

Older Buildings (Retrofit) Older buildings without existing EV infrastructure are not left behind:

  • Smart Load Management — EVEMS can often eliminate the need for a costly electrical service upgrade entirely by intelligently distributing available capacity across all chargers
  • Full Retrofit Service — EV Nook manages conduit, wiring, and panel work end-to-end; strata is supported through available government incentive applications to offset costs
  • Same resident options apply — Buy the Charger or Charging as a Service, same as newer buildings

Billing & Pricing

  • Flexible pricing options tailored to each building — per-kWh, fixed monthly, or combined plans
  • Residents pay only for what they use — non-EV owners pay nothing
  • Automatic monthly billing through the app — zero strata involvement
  • Strata reimbursed for electricity costs monthly, automatically

Clean Fuel Rebate Program

  • EV Nook is registered under Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations — a government program that generates credits for every kWh of electricity used to charge EVs
  • A portion of these credits is passed back to residents, effectively reducing their cost per charge
  • No action required from residents or the strata — EV Nook handles registration and credit allocation automatically

Support & Maintenance

  • Industry-leading 24/7 support for residents and strata managers — phone, email, and chat
  • All hardware maintenance and warranty claims handled by EV Nook directly
  • Remote monitoring of every charger — most issues resolved before residents notice them
  • Strata council and property manager never field a charging complaint

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the strata need to spend any money to get started? For newer EV-ready buildings, there is no cost to the strata corporation whatsoever. For older buildings requiring retrofit wiring and conduit, those costs are the responsibility of the strata — however EV Nook will guide you through available government incentive programs that can significantly offset the expense. In both cases, there is no ongoing cost to the strata after installation and residents will have the option of Charging as a Service which means no upfront payment for the charger hardware either.

What if only some residents want a charger? Only residents who request a charger get one. There is no obligation on other residents and no shared cost across the strata. Residents who don’t own EVs pay nothing — now or in the future.

What if residents install the charger but have no EV yet? In case they have bought the charger, they can ask their account to be suspended any time they like in which case, they don’t have to pay any usage fees. As for Charging as a Service, the minimum payment applies.

What happens if a resident moves out? If a resident purchased their charger, it stays with the stall and can be transferred to the new owner or tenant. If the resident was on Charging as a Service, EV Nook simply reassigns the charger to the new resident — no strata involvement required.

Do residents need to scan a QR code each time they charge? No — the EV Nook app is built specifically for private charging. Each resident’s charger is assigned to their account at setup and appears in the app automatically. No scanning, no searching for a station. For residents who prefer not to use the app, EV Nook provides a free RFID card — simply tap to start and stop charging, no phone required.

What is the minimum monthly usage commitment for Charging as a Service? The minimum monthly commitment is discussed and agreed upon during the onboarding process based on the resident’s typical usage. It is designed to reflect normal EV charging patterns — not an unreasonable threshold for any active EV driver.

Will adding chargers overload our building’s electrical panel? Not with EVEMS. Our load management system monitors available electrical capacity in real time and distributes power intelligently across all active chargers. In most cases, buildings can support significantly more chargers than they expect without any panel upgrade. We assess every building before installation and are transparent about capacity limits upfront.

What is the Clean Fuel Program and how do residents benefit? Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations require fuel producers to reduce the carbon intensity of their products. One way they meet this requirement is by purchasing credits generated by EV charging. EV Nook is registered under this program and passes a portion of the credits back to residents as a reduction in their per-kWh rate — effectively making every charge a little cheaper. No registration or action is required from residents.

How does 24/7 support work? Residents and strata managers can reach EV Nook support by phone, email, or chat at any time. Remote monitoring means our team is often aware of a charger issue before the resident reports it. All hardware faults, warranty claims, and technical issues are handled directly by EV Nook — the strata council is never in the middle of a support issue.
