How to smooth the road for electric work trucks

Whether it’s due to the pursuit of improved lifetime cost, productivity, regulatory or sustainability outcomes—or some combination thereof—the work truck industry’s interest in electric vehicle fleets is gaining traction... fast. Besides ensuring they have the physical infrastructure they need, these fleets will benefit from EVEMS for better managing the performance of their chargers.


EV safety blitz finds “concerning number of unsafe charging methods”

When it comes to electric vehicle infrastructure, people forget (or simply don’t know) that EVs can draw a lot of power. It is important to ensure a home’s electrical panel can handle the load... and an electric vehicle energy management system can help address that issue.

Recognizing EVEMS in the Canadian Electrical Code

DID YOU KNOW? It is thanks to the Vancouver Electric Vehicle Association that the CE Code-Part I Technical Committee began including new rules in the Canadian Electrical Code that recognize EV energy management systems (EVEMS), to address evolving EV technology and issues associated with future loading on electrical infrastructure. » Read more

Canadians are buying EVs in record numbers

Nationwide, a total of 40,233 new zero-emission vehicles were registered in Q2 2023—an increase of 34.9% from the same period last year! The largest growth among vehicle types for battery EVs was pickup trucks, representing a 721.3% increase when compared to same period a year prior. (I hope someone finds a way to manage all those loads!) » Read more

Zero-Emission Vehicle Awareness Initiative for Indigenous communities

Check out the federal call for proposals for the Zero-Emission Vehicle Awareness Initiative (ZEVAI)—a pilot that will fund Indigenous-led awareness and education projects “that help increase knowledge and confidence” in electric and low-emission vehicles, and clean fuels. The call for proposals “with continuous intake” is open until March 31, 2025, or until funds are fully allocated. » Read more
