Why now
Why Silverton stratas need this report now
An EV Ready Plan is voluntary in British Columbia, but it's the most direct route to FortisBC rebate dollars and the cleanest way to get a Silverton strata's parking infrastructure ready for the next decade (program details on FortisBC's EV charging incentive program page). The plan covers 100% EV-ready conduit and capacity, charging-management evaluation, phased implementation cost estimates, and help with the rebate application.
As of July 15, 2026, an EVRP, an Electrical Planning Report, or an Opportunity Assessment Report is mandatory to access standalone EV charger rebates from FortisBC. Silverton councils that want the plan rebate — and eligibility for the later installation rebates — need a plan in place, and a planning provider that knows how to navigate FortisBC EV charging program documentation.

About strata buildings in Silverton
Silverton, on Slocan Lake, is one of BC’s smallest incorporated villages, a former silver-mining settlement. Its strata footprint is minimal — older wood-frame and recreational developments on rural service.
What that means for electrical capacity planning in Silverton: 1980s wood-frame walk-ups carry their own pattern: aluminum branch wiring in some buildings, undersized panel boards almost universally, and original 100A or 200A services that don't leave room for meaningful EV adoption without an upgrade.
