EV history was made in Burnaby last month.
Concord Pacific has opened the world’s largest EV charging parkade, capable of quick charging nearly 2,000 vehicles at once, at its four-tower Hillside project in Brentwood.
This historic news after delivering Central London’s largest EV parkade at Marylebone Square less than a year ago.
“This milestone is in keeping with our longstanding commitment to sustainable future communities,” said President and CEO Terry Hui. “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.”

All 1,974 parking spaces in the underground parkade has 24/7 access to EV charging. If needed, the electrical infrastructure system installed can “supply all power access points at once”.

“This new EV parkade aligns with what we’re aiming for in Burnaby,” said Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley. “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.”
The parkade is separated into two zones: Hillside West and East. Each residence who lives at Hillside is “only billed for the charging power they consume”.
