EV Charging
Our end-to-end Electric Vehicle charging solution that benefits drivers while earning you a profit
Why implement EV charging?
Attract and retain customers
Offering EV charging can attract loyal customers with EVs who value the convenience of charging while they shop, increasing the amount of time they spend at your location and potentially boosting sales.
Generate revenue & Increase property value
Selling electricity through EV charging creates a new revenue stream for your business while accommodating the needs of EV drivers. Leverage EV charging to generate positive publicity through charger maps and trip planning.
Enhance brand reputation
By demonstrating your commitment to sustainability and social responsibility through EV charging, you can enhance your brand reputation and attract environmentally conscious customers. Position as an industry leader in sustainability, demonstrate social responsibility, and stand out amongst competitors.
EV Motivation
As EV adoption rates continue to increase and Canada aims for 100% of all car and passenger truck sales to be zero-emission vehicles by 2035, EV charging at workplaces and residences is becoming increasingly important.
However, building owners should consider the specific needs of their building and potential demand from EV users before choosing a charger system configuration. It’s crucial to consult with a professional engineering firm to determine the building’s spare capacity and future charging needs. With extensive experience in energy projects and retrofits, UPC offers services to help future-proof your building and implement a smart, scalable EV charging system.
Implementing EV charging infrastructure today is about more than just preparing your location for the shift to zero emissions vehicles. It’s a path to increasing property value, attracting more customers, and generating more profit. Adding public EV charging stations can make your existing operation more profitable, as well as become a revenue stream all on its own.

Applications
Revenue generating EV charging stations are ideal for areas such as: communal parking for condo apartments, multi-unit high rise rental apartments, retail, en-route and others. Monitor and control your system with our tailored, intelligent, and networked charging solutions.
Commercial Locations
This applies to hotels, sports institutions, shopping centers, and many more. EV drivers favor businesses offering public charging as it enables them to charge their vehicles throughout their activities
Charge At Home/Work
Ranging from small workplaces to large offices; business parks and complexes, multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs) as well as condos and rental apartments. Charging stations for communal parking lots. Access to these stations can also be restricted to authorized users.
Public parking
Whether they’re spending time out on the street or in a car park, EV drivers will take to parking offering public charging because of the convenience it provides.
Our End-To-End EV Charging Solution
Overview
Feasibility Study
Our team collaborates with clients to assess the electrical capacity of their building, determine tenant demand, and identify the number of EV chargers required. Based on this information, we select the most suitable complete solution available in the market that meets the specific needs of the building, property management team, tenants, and future scalability. We also ensure that the solution is financially competitive.
- Determine the building’s spare electrical capacity in a electrical load study
- Presenting EV charging station options and provide a detailed comparison of their configurations
- We develop a power management strategy that optimizes the available power required by the EV charging system
- We implement an energy management strategy that minimizes the cost of power required by the EV charging system
- Our experts conduct a preliminary financial analysis that includes a comprehensive evaluation of the capital cost and maintenance cost.
- We provide user billing system options to ensure a seamless billing process for EV charging usage.
Implementation
As a vertically integrated company, we offer our clients the flexibility to choose the construction means that work best for their organizations' structure. We provide consulting services for clients who prefer to manage the project themselves or EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) services for those who require end-to-end support. Our approach ensures that each project is delivered successfully.
- Design, procure, and Install the EVCS
Funding
The Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP) by Natural Resources Canada is a funding program that covers up to 50% of the cost of EV charging stations, infrastructure, and installation, up to $5,000 per Level-2 connector. However, as the program's funds are limited, and applications are processed on a first-come-first-served basis, ZEVIP applicants may face challenges with the program. Our team simplifies the process by applying on behalf of clients to start the project as soon as their application is approved.
The program covers:
- Workplaces (commercial or industrial buildings)
- Multi-Unit Residential Buildings
- Public places
- And many others
