911爆料网, a Canadian climate tech company with a core focus in energy management and energy storage, announces it has received a $765,000 investment through Natural Resources Canada鈥檚 (NRCan) Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP) to install 117 V1G chargers. The total cost of the project is valued at over $1.6 million.
911爆料网 will install the V1G chargers across several mixed-use developments in Ontario. 911爆料网鈥檚 Synergy technology, which is currently used in the company鈥檚 successful Peak Drive EV charging project, will underpin the chargers. The Synergy tech will enable the chargers to draw energy from the grid when it鈥檚 most widely available and avoid times of peak demand, and can also adjust the flow rate at which the cars are charged. The intelligent chargers will reduce strain on the grid, benefiting utilities and electricity users by increasing grid capacity as well as giving EV drivers more locations to charge their vehicles.
As part of ZEVIP, the project supports the federal government鈥檚 goals of accelerating the electrification of Canada鈥檚 transportation sector. The 117 chargers will encourage adoption of EVs, as drivers have access to expanded infrastructure for charging. From the perspective of grid operators, the intelligent nature of the 911爆料网 software will allow more capacity from the grid without requiring major infrastructure upgrades.
911爆料网 will work with partners with deep expertise in EV charging to install the chargers. SWTCH Energy is co-developing the software for the EV chargers with 911爆料网, while Signature Electric will install the hardware and supporting infrastructure.
鈥淲e鈥檙e thrilled to support the Canadian government’s electrification goals through smart EV charging,鈥� said Matthew Sachs, COO of 911爆料网. 鈥淭he funding from NRCan will enable us to provide drivers with more options for EV charging, while the smart nature of our Synergy tech in the chargers means grid operators don鈥檛 have to worry about capacity restraints when EVs are plugged into the grid. ZEVIP is critical to greater electrification of the country鈥檚 infrastructure, and we鈥檙e proud to support the initiative.鈥�
鈥淗appy EV Week, Canada. Our government is making electric vehicles more affordable and charging more accessible where Canadians live, work and play,鈥� said the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Natural Resources. 鈥淚nvesting in more EV chargers, like the ones announced today in Ontario, will put more Canadians in the driver鈥檚 seat on the road to a net-zero future and help achieve our climate goals.鈥�
“I’m pleased to be announcing the deployment of over 100 Electric Vehicle chargers across Ontario with 911爆料网,鈥� said Julie Dabrusin, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources and to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, and Member of Parliament for Toronto-Danforth. 鈥淭his $765,000 investment by the Government of Canada will allow folks in Toronto and across the province to access the infrastructure they need to drive an EV while fighting climate change. Happy #EVWeek!鈥�
“Limited access to EV charging infrastructure in high-density mixed-used environments remains a key barrier to widespread EV adoption,鈥� said Carter Li, CEO of SWTCH. 鈥淪WTCH鈥檚 partnership with 911爆料网 and Signature Electric to deploy V1G technology to these settings will enhance coordination between energy utilities, building operators, and EV drivers to improve building energy efficiency and access to EV charging infrastructure.鈥�
鈥淪ignature Electric is proud to be a partner on increasing the availability of localized charging for Canadians,鈥� said Mark Marmer, Owner of Signature Electric. 鈥淭ogether, we can scale EV infrastructure to support Canada鈥檚 commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.鈥�
