EV Charging Pilot Program

Showcasing our Commitment to Sustainability through Key Industry Partnerships

Driving Fleet Electrification Across Canada through Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Demonstration (EVID) Program

AUX Energy has been at the forefront of accelerating Electric Vehicle (EV) adoption through strategic partnerships and innovative solutions. By focusing on fleet electrification, Aux Energy supported the deployment of EVs and charging infrastructure tailored to operational needs. Leveraging grant funding and technical expertise, we enabled participating organizations to expand their EV fleets beyond initial targets—advancing Canada’s sustainability goals and paving the way for a low-carbon future.

Our approach centered on providing financial and technical resources, ensuring partners could implement and scale EV solutions effectively. This collaborative model allowed for real-world testing of electric trucks and charging systems, generating critical data to inform future deployment strategies and strengthen the transition to zero-emission transportation.

Results That Drive Change

Through Aux Energy’s program, Home Hardware deployed an EV truck and installed charging infrastructure at its St. Jacobs distribution centre, proving the viability of EVs in regional delivery and yard operations. GLS Canada integrated three Class 8 electric trucks in Montréal and Toronto, using advanced analytics to monitor performance and emissions reductions. Tim Hortons expanded its EV fleet at Guelph Distribution Centre and upgraded infrastructure at Langley DC—growth made possible through grant access facilitated by Aux Energy.

ITD Industries commissioned North America’s first ABB A400 fast charger at its Etobicoke headquarters, supporting zero-emission truck sales and fast-charging capability in the Toronto region. The charger is undergoing rigorous field testing to validate performance in demanding fleet environments. Hensall Co-op also joined the initiative, deploying EVs and infrastructure to advance decarbonization in agriculture and logistics.

Collectively, these projects demonstrate the operational feasibility of EVs in Canadian climates, deepen understanding of infrastructure requirements, and lay the foundation for broader adoption. They underscore the importance of strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, and data-driven decision-making in successful EV integration.
