Drive to net-zero Electrify with confidence Made in Canada
Power to the fleet
Choosing the best charging infrastructure and commercial ecosystem for your electric vehicles
The future of commercial transportation is electric. Organizations that move now to secure infrastructure for their electric fleet will drive innovation forward, using smart, scalable technology to streamline operations for a more sustainable future.
With over 60% of Canada's road emissions originating from just 20% of its vehicles, the need to accelerate the adoption of EVs is undeniable. But the journey to electrification is as much about infrastructure as it is innovation. As the country anticipates having more than one million EVs on the roads by 2025, it’s become clear that our existing electrical grids—already under strain due to climate change—will need some serious upgrading.
Building the infrastructure to service an entirely new kind of vehicle demands collaboration among manufacturers, energy providers, researchers, and policymakers. For a successful transition, fleet owners and operators must get on board with all that’s happening so they can make the right choices.
Lead the charge, set the pace, and power your way into a new era of sustainable operations.
Did you know?
Canada is among the 33 national governments that have signed the Memorandum of Understanding. The shared goals are to reach 30% zero-emission new vehicle sales by 2030 and 100% zero-emission new truck and bus sales by 2040.
Parkland paves the way
Fuelled by a $210 million partnership with the Canadian Infrastructure Bank, Parkland Corporation was able to expand its EV charging network beyond British Columbia and into Ontario and Quebec. The Calgary-based energy company isn't only growing its own footprint—it’s setting a benchmark for how private and public sectors can work together to develop clean energy infrastructure.

Fleet decarbonization is a complex process…That’s why it’s critical for fleet owners and operators to avoid taking a siloed approach to planning and deploying electrification infrastructure. They need to involve their ecosystem partners from the outset, and then work in tandem to ensure a successful outcome.
Behind the fence—or outside it?
Deciding on the right charging infrastructure for a fleet is about choosing a balance of accessibility, control, and scalability.
- Behind-the-fence charging: Ideal for fleets that circle back to base daily. It allows for charging right on your doorstep, typically overnight. Those seeking control and predictability in their charging schedules, maximizing operational efficiency while minimizing downtime, might consider building their own infrastructure.
- Outside-the-fence charging: Ideal for fleets that are on the go. It relies on the growing network of public charging stations, including depot and highway options. This approach is suited for fleets that travel long distances and require frequent charging en route, or those that can’t afford the large capital investment to develop and deploy their own infrastructure.
Choosing the right path hinges on your unique operational needs. Whether building behind-the-fence solutions or leaning on outside-the-fence technologies, you need to start now to create a charging strategy that can meet tomorrow's opportunities.
