Carter Li's experience demonstrates a significant barrier for EV owners residing in multi-residential buildings, as he faced rejection in getting an EV charger installed in his downtown Toronto condo. Despite 12% of Canadian EV owners living in such housing, access to charging remains critical for potential EV buyers. Li co-founded Swtch Energy to tackle charging issues in multi-family residences, collaborating with other startups like Kiwi Charge to develop innovative solutions to improve EV access and infrastructure.
"Access to charging remains a key factor on whether, and which drivers decide to go electric," stated Canadian Climate Institute researchers, highlighting the challenges for EV owners in multi-residential homes.
