Kamloops recently updated their bylaws requiring new homes and condos to be EV Capable. An EV-Capable plan must be developed by a professional engineer, such as Kuby's technical team, detailing requirements for future EV installations. Kuby Energy helped review the technical aspects of this bylaw and is well versed in its requirements.
