Could I please get one of the admins to change the thread title to "Dockside Green Charging Station"? The current title has been verified to be inaccurate as the charging station does not belong to the VCSC. Thanks.

So two years later we finally have a use for this charging station.

 

MODO just placed their second car at Dockside Green, the first electric in Victoria, a Kia Soul EV - and Bayview Place gets dissed again.  Here's the blurb from the email I received:

 

Hit the road with Victoria's first electric Modo!

There's a new resident at Dockside Green and we think you'll get a real charge out of it.

 

Victorians have a reputation for being sustainably-minded folks so making the capital home for the first electric Modo on the Island felt a perfect fit. The Kia Soul EV is the only UL Certified electric vehicle in the industry; that's comparable to LEED standards. It was released in limited supply in Canada but our forward-thinking team secured one for our growing fleet on the Island.

 

Thanks to support from Dockside Green and the City of Victoria, your newest Modo will have a home-base at the development on Tyee Road, complete with charging station. While adding a new vehicle in Victoria is excited news, the Soul EV has another special significance for us — it's our 400th car!

 

As a local, member-owned co-operative, our success is your success. We're thrilled to be in Victoria and are eager to continue to expand our fleet, offering all our members a cost-effective and innovative solution for people who want the benefits of car-ownership without any of the hassles.

 

Like we always say, "Why own a car when you can share 400?"

How much did the City of Victoria give to this project?

How long until it gets pulled over for the plate frames?
