CONCORD, Ontario, Aug. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EVSTART is charging 6,500 km across Canada – looking to educate Canadians about electric vehicles (EVs).
The EVSTART Charging Coast to Coast Tour is stopping off at more than 40 multi-residential buildings across the country, educating residents about Canada’s zero-emission targets, EV technology, and offering them an exciting EV ride experience.
“It’s such a great opportunity to engage people all across Canada,” said Craig Ballard, President and CEO, Elexicon Group. “It’s important we all play a part in driving the conversation and inspiring people to make the switch to EVs. Change takes effort and the reaction we are getting everywhere shows Canada is ready to make the transition to the EV future.”
“This is the first-ever tour designed specifically for multi-residential properties,” said Peter Mills, CEO, Wyse Meter Solutions. “We know that 80% of EV charging takes place at home. As our metro areas grow and increase in density, that will place incredible demand on – and provide countless opportunities for – multi-residential properties across the country to be part of an electric future. We’re excited to use this tour as our way of helping build out Canada’s charging infrastructure.”
The timing couldn’t be better for this tour, Mills continued, as EVs are already making a huge impact in Canada:
The EVSTART Charging Coast to Coast Tour is also targeting building owners, educating them on how simple and cost-effective it can be to install EV chargers.
“We always encourage them to start with a utility-grade audit to get a baseline of the building’s current infrastructure and capacity,” Mills continued. “With the latest EV technology, owners can start installing chargers right away without exceeding their load capacity by using tools like load management. Once those first chargers are installed, then owners can tap into the data they generate to evaluate their building’s future needs and plan its future EV deployment.”
EVSTART is an electric vehicle (EV) charging company dedicated to helping real estate owners and developers address their EV charging infrastructure challenges. EVSTART is a partnership between Wyse Meter Solutions and Elexicon Group.
