Free Solar Powered Charging In Vancouver | BCIT's Electric Oasis

We visited BCIT's Solar Powered Electric Oasis in Burnaby BC, where you can charge your EV for free and only have to pay for parking!

BCIT's Energy OASIS (Open Access to Sustainable Intermittent Sources) addresses the intermittent nature of the renewable sources of energy used for EV charging through an “energy firming-up path” using Energy Storage and an Advanced Energy Management System (EMS). The Energy OASIS facility is comprised of: a 250 kW solar photovoltaic (PV) parking canopy paired with a 500 kWhr lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS); two DC Fast Charge (DCFC) EV charge stations; six Level 2 EV charge stations; and an advanced energy management system (EMS). The EMS predicts electrical generation based on weather forecasts and EV charge profiles based on historical trends and EV charge reservations. The system can “island” itself from the electrical grid, for example in times of grid blackout, and continue to deliver electricity and charge EVs with either generated or stored energy.

Thanks for the fair review, it is frustrating to get started since it is researchy, the cards can work but you need to register the cards to your bcit account as roaming hasnt been established with other providers.

Hi @kellycarmichael999 thanks for your comment. What's your involvement with this project? I haven't been back in quite some time, perhaps i should come back for another visit.
