Compare EV Ready Plan Proposals — BC Hydro Checklist
An EV Ready Plan is the route to BC Hydro's EV charging rebates — and from July 15, 2026 an EV Ready Plan or an Electrical Planning Report becomes mandatory to access them. Not all proposals cover the same scope. Use this 11-item checklist to compare what's actually included.
| Compliance Item | CF Electrical Services | Proposal B | Proposal C |
|---|---|---|---|
| PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS & ACCOUNTABILITY | |||
| Plan Prepared by a Journeyman/Master Electrician with an FSR An EV Ready Plan is hands-on electrical work — spare-capacity assessment, conduit routing, and EVEMS design. CF prepares every plan with a Journeyman or Master Electrician who holds a Technical Safety BC Field Safety Representative (FSR) licence: the trade qualification best suited to EV charging design and installation, and the qualified professional BC Hydro's program calls for.

| EV READY PLAN & BC HYDRO REBATE ELIGIBILITY | |||
| EV Ready Plan — the Route to BC Hydro Charger Rebates From July 15, 2026, an EV Ready Plan or an Electrical Planning Report is required to access BC Hydro charger rebates. We can bundle the plan with your EPR to keep the engagement faster and more cost-effective. BC Hydro Program | |||
| 100% EV-Ready Strategy with Parking & Conduit Layout A plan to make every residential parking stall EV-ready — one EV-ready space per unit — including specific conduit routing for charger installation. BC Hydro EV Ready Req. | |||
| EVEMS Evaluation & Charging-Performance Assessment Evaluates Electric Vehicle Energy Management Systems to optimize charging within existing capacity, plus expected charging performance per vehicle. BC Hydro EV Ready Req. | |||
| Phased Implementation Plan with Itemized Cost Estimates BC Hydro requires a recommended solution with cost estimates for budgeting. A phased plan gives the strata a fundable roadmap — not a wish list. BC Hydro EV Ready Req. | |||
| BC Hydro Rebate Application Prepared & Submitted on Your Behalf We confirm eligibility, file pre-approval, and submit the EV Ready Plan rebate (up to $3,000), subject to BC Hydro approval and funding. The up-to-$120,000 infrastructure rebate applies to future installation work, which CF Electrical does not perform. BC Hydro Rebate Program | |||
| ADDITIONAL VALUE — THE CF ELECTRICAL DIFFERENCE | |||
| Interactive Report Delivery — a Living Report Council keeps the sealed PDF; every owner gets an interactive web version explaining capacity, demand, and the recommendations in plain terms. Unique in the BC strata market. | |||
| Strata Council Board Presentation in Plain Language Findings presented directly to council and owners to build consensus on investment decisions and answer technical questions in the room. | |||
| Plain-Language Report Written for the Strata Council All the technical data and calculations — plus a narrative written for you, the council, not just for other professionals. | |||
| ENGAGEMENT STRUCTURE | |||
| Fixed-Price Quote — No Hourly Billing, No Change Orders The number on the proposal is the number you pay. | |||
| Consultant Independent of the Installation Contractor No conflict of interest in upgrade recommendations — CF Electrical does not perform the installation work it recommends. | |||
