Purpose

As Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) staff, patients and hospital visitors transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles, there is an ever-increasing demand for Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), or more commonly referred to as ‘EV Chargers’ at VCH facilities. Currently 11 per cent of VCH Staff own electric vehicles and 43 percent are planning to purchase electric vehicles in the next five years. 

This is further accelerated by Federal and Provincial incentives for buyers of electric vehicles, as well as the mandate by the Province of British Columbia to have 100% zero emission cars by 2040 as a part of their CleanBC program. 

To support this growing demand and enable low carbon transportation options, VCH is installing EV Chargers (Level 2 and DC Fast Chargers) at key facilities across the province.
