A residential development in Burnaby, B.C. has unveiled its electric vehicle charging parkade, which is said to be the largest in the world.

The Concord Pacific project has 1,974 underground parking spaces and each one has access to EV charging.

The developer says the electrical infrastructure is so robust that every vehicle can be charged at the same time.

“This milestone is in keeping with our longstanding commitment to sustainable future communities,” said Concord Pacific president and CEO Terry Hui in a news release. “We have a portfolio of wind, solar, and hydro projects that has grown significantly over the past 15 years and has now expanded to five Canadian provinces. Creating infrastructure like this helps close the loop on sustainable transportation options.”

The four-tower Hillside project is located in the Concord Brentwood community. The parking spaces are separated in two zones, with each zone having two entrance and exit points. Each EV plug, in both Hillside West and East, is individually monitored so that each residence is only billed for the charging they use.

“This new EV parkade aligns with what we’re aiming for in Burnaby,” said Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley in the release. “Achieving carbon neutrality is a community-wide effort that includes residents and businesses in Burnaby, and it’s great to see Concord moving forward with this development. Making it easier for folks to drive electric vehicles, ride their bike or take transit will help us cut down on carbon emissions and achieve our climate goals faster.”

Concord Pacific notes the development is less than half a kilometre from the Brentwood SkyTrain station, and future phases of the community will feature a bicycle network that connects Burnaby and Vancouver.
