Electrical Planning (and Rebates!) for Strata Properties

Is your condo building ready for the electric vehicle revolution, or are you stuck wondering how to power 200 parking stalls without blowing the budget? ⚡️🚗In this episode of the Condo Talk, Thomas Beattie of OctoAI sits down with Sanjay Maharaj, founder of Electric Asset and a former property manager whose firm managed over 140 buildings. Sanjay breaks down the complex world of electrical planning for Stratas, debunking the biggest myths about building capacity and explaining why "first come, first served" is a disaster for EV infrastructure.In this conversation, we cover:- The "Capacity Myth": Why older buildings often have more spare power than brand-new ones.- The Hidden Cost of Peak Demand: How plugging in 25 EVs at 6 PM could spike your utility bill by $2,600/month—and how to stop it.- Future-Proofing: Why planning for just a few chargers now will cost you double later.- The Fair "User-Pay" Model: How to ensure residents without EVs don't subsidize their neighbors' charging costs.Whether you're a Strata Council member, a Property Manager, or just an owner trying to get a charger installed, this is your blueprint for navigating the electrical grid.LEARN MORE► Discover OctoAI’s condo intelligence solutions: https://octoai.com/► Learn more about Electric Asset: https://electricasset.com/
