Natural Resources Canada is awarding almost C$2m (US$1.5m / £1.2m) to Mogile Technologies to develop two EV infrastructure solutions in Québec.
Funded through the Green Infrastructure Program, these projects will provide data for future clean energy projects throughout Canada.
The first project will test new technology — compatible with multiple EV charging networks — designed to reduce peak period demand on the power grid. It will also allow utilities to adjust power output and pricing at charging stations based on predicted load use.
The second project will develop a single account for EV drivers to pay for the use of any charging station, aiming to help make payment easier for drivers and to improve the business model for charging infrastructure operators.
Simon Ouellette, CEO, Mogile Technologies, said: “To get more Canadians on the roads in EVs right now, we have to simplify the charging experience. To make these choices ubiquitous in the future, we need to build an infrastructure that optimises available energy resources. With our ChargeHub Passport payment solution and our ChargeHub Central infrastructure management system, we will do just that.”
