EPR + EV Ready Plan · BC Strata

Need both an EPR and an EV Ready Plan? Run them as one coordinated engagement.

Many BC stratas need both reports. Bundling them with us means one project manager, one site visit, and one schedule — two properly sealed reports, delivered together. Here's how it works.

Independent consulting — two properly sealed reports, impartial recommendations, and one point of contact throughout.

Two reports, one coordinated engagement

Many BC stratas need both an Electrical Planning Report and an EV Ready Plan. The two engagements share data inputs — utility consumption analysis, load calculations, future-demand modelling — so running them together is cleaner and less disruptive than two separate projects.

Each report is prepared by the right qualified person: the Electrical Planning Report sealed by the credential BC strata law calls for the building; the EV Ready Plan prepared by a Journeyperson Electrician with a Technical Safety BC FSR.

Strata Property Act · §94.1

The Electrical Planning Report is mandatory for strata corporations of five or more lots. The EV Ready Plan is a BC Hydro EV charging program deliverable.

One engagement, properly credentialed, built around your council

One project manager

From kickoff to delivery — not two firms, not two intakes, not two schedules to chase.

Each report by the right qualified person

The Electrical Planning Report sealed by a P.Eng, P.L.Eng., AScT, or Certified Technician (a Journeyperson Electrician for a Part 9 building); the EV Ready Plan prepared by a Journeyperson Electrician with a Technical Safety BC FSR.

One coordinated site visit

A single walk-through covers both reports’ inspection scope, so your building is disrupted once.

Consistent numbers across both reports

The same building data, load calculations, and capacity analysis inform both reports.

Chris Farrar, founder of CF Electrical Services
Who you're dealing with

Eleven years in the trade — now focused entirely on getting this right

Chris Farrar started in the electrical trade and spent years on installation and service work. He kept seeing the same thing: strata managers struggling with electrical planning, needing real expertise but not another vendor adding to the pile. So CF refocused on the planning and project management — done properly.

We write every report to be read by the people who paid for it: full technical accuracy, sealed by the Qualified Person the regulation requires, in language your council can act on.

Chris Farrar
Founder, CF Electrical Services
CF responded promptly to my request for proposals on the Electrical Planning Reports and EV Ready Plans for the buildings I manage, and completed every report on time. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and efficiency helped move these projects forward smoothly.

Common questions

EPR + EV Ready Plan bundle — common questions

Why bundle the two reports?
Many BC stratas need both an Electrical Planning Report and an EV Ready Plan. The two engagements share data inputs — BC Hydro consumption analysis, load calculations under electrical-code standards, future-demand modelling. Doing both at once is cleaner, faster, and less disruptive than running two separate engagements.
Who prepares the bundle?
One CF Electrical Services project manager runs the engagement from kickoff to delivery. The Electrical Planning Report is signed and sealed by the credential BC strata law calls for the building — a Professional Engineer (P.Eng, EGBC), a Professional Licensee Engineering (P.L.Eng., EGBC), an Applied Science Technologist (AScT), or a Certified Technician (ASTTBC) for Part 3 (complex) buildings, or a Journeyperson Electrician for Part 9 (simple) buildings. The EV Ready Plan is prepared by a Journeyperson Electrician with a Technical Safety BC Field Safety Representative (FSR) licence — the qualification best suited to EV charging work.
How long does the bundle take?
Typically six to ten weeks from intake to delivery. Both reports are produced on the EPR regulatory schedule — your strata meets the BC strata law deadline and has its EV Ready Plan in hand at the same time.
When is the EPR deadline?
Stratas in Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, and the Capital Regional District must have a current EPR by December 31, 2026. Stratas elsewhere in BC have until December 31, 2028. See the deadline guide for the full regional schedule.
Is CF Electrical Services independent?
Yes. CF Electrical Services is an independent consulting firm — our only product is the reports themselves, so we have no stake in which upgrades your strata chooses. Both reports are prepared on your building's merits alone.
BC Hydro program note

BC Hydro offers an EV Ready Plan rebate of up to $3,000 for eligible strata corporations.

Eligibility, application, and approval are managed by BC Hydro. We can guide your council through the application process. Full program details are at bchydro.com.
