  • With EV charging quickly becoming a must-have amenity for renters and buyers, here are some innovative ways for condo developers and building managers to bring EV charging into a MURB's shared or deeded parking spaces.
    Property Management and Development

  • As EV adoption increases, communities of all sizes will want to ensure their residents and businesses benefit as much as possible. You'll learn how a collaborative regional approach and some innovative funding models can help rural communities install and maintain charging to the benefit of both locals and visitors.

  • While the naysayers focus on long-haul freight, battery electric vehicles can, in many use cases, replace and outperform diesel engines. We look at the duty and drive cycles where cost, new model availability and operations make the most sense from both a carbon-emissions reduction and total cost of ownership perspective. Our panelists will share their data and experiences with tail-pipe-free trucks, and how they’re working hard on the roads today.

  • Working with Related, one of the largest real estate developers in the U.S., Gravity has transformed a parking lot in a historic mid-century building to provide DC Fast Charging right in the heart of New York City. Hear about the technology that made this infrastructure project possible.
    Property Management and Development

  • The Ford E-Transit can be a great tool for technicians across telecom, utility, plumbing, HVAC, electrical and more. Come hear how one fleet has adopted over 80 electric vans to service their customers.

  • Installing EV charging in your condo or strata can feel like a slow, confusing and expensive process. This session will help guide you through how to speed up the procurement and approval processes for your condo or strata board, with an emphasis on the engineering and electrical steps toward a successful EV deployment. You'll also walk away understanding some of the key design factors including power-sharing, sharing ratios and future expansion options, as well as charging hardware, software and electricity management solutions available to help your owners save significantly on installation costs, for new builds and existing buildings.

  • When setting up fast-charging for medium-duty delivery trucks, you need to manage new electrical loads alongside your payloads. Come learn the process for planning, installing and operating sequential fast-charging at a depot, along with common challenges fleets encounter. The panel will walk you through a project for a Toronto logistics company that is using 150 kW fast-chargers at its delivery hub and highlight what you can do to make your depot installation and operations as smooth as possible.

  • Uber has an ambitious goal to become a fully electric, zero-emission platform in Canada by 2030. That means every single driver on the Uber platform would be in an electric vehicle. The company and its partners will share how they are working across the ecosystem — government, industry, nonprofits — to support drivers in the transition, from a $1 incentive on every EV trip to providing EV test drive opportunities to discounts on charging infrastructure to exclusive EV rentals.

  • To accelerate the EV transition, a great lineup of vehicles is just the starting point. A whole ecosystem, from infrastructure to education, is needed to make an all-electric future a reality. Hear from GM’s Vice President of Charging & Energy about all of the innovative ways the automaker is driving adoption.

  • Day 2


  • Learn from industry experts – including ABB E-mobility and Kruger – on how a combination of public and back-to-base charging will enable bigger vehicles to tackle longer routes in the near future, including a new commercial fast-charging pilot in Quebec designed to accommodate larger vehicles and trailers on the go.

  • Switching to an electric fleet requires a strategic mindset from your organization, from change management to planning and implementation. But first, you need to know the questions to ask: Where will my fleet see the highest emissions reduction? How do we analyze our fleet and optimize it for a new energy source? How do we make the most of current incentives so our enterprise isn’t leaving money on the table? In this session, Deloitte will offer a roadmap for mid- to large-scale fleets to make the right business decisions as they decarbonize.

  • As medium-duty and heavy-duty commercial vehicles are increasingly electrified, will we be ready for the new electricity load impacts needed for high-power battery charging? How can we prudently map out and forecast the need for electrons to power our trucking sector as we decarbonize? And, how can we then go from planning to building out the charging infrastructure and necessary electrical grid upgrades at scale? A range of thought-leaders will share new data, experiences, and expectations coming out of Canada and the U.S. to inform the anticipated electricity load impacts of the trucking industry in the coming decades. Establishing a shared understanding of the future power needs of charging infrastructure across North American highway freight corridors will be critical to prepare for this rapidly approaching transition.

  • Fleet management companies can accelerate your fleet electrification process, from understanding the suitability of your vehicle fleet for electrification to vehicle and charging procurement and financing. Here’s how the new leasing journey works and what to expect when you go electric.
    Fleet

  • If you own commercial real estate or operate a fleet of EVs, there is a huge opportunity to set up charging infrastructure in your facilities and generate valuable carbon credits and new revenue streams. Experts from BMO Radicle and LeadingAhead Energy will explain how to monetize your charging infrastructure and avoid losing out on the growing carbon credit market.

  • Let's cut to the chase and recognize that close to 100% of vehicles in your building's parking stalls could be electric within a decade. Our experts will share lessons learned from dozens of retrofit building projects in British Columbia where owners are saving up to 85% per charger installation by taking an all-in, versus piecemeal, approach to EV readiness. Learn key strategies to bring the price tag down on charging infrastructure and future-proof your properties.

    Property Management and Development

  • To support the adoption of electric vehicles, provincial and federal governments are offering a range of incentives and rebates to help offset the upfront costs of battery-electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. Businesses can take advantage of these programs to accelerate and de-risk their own EV strategy. This session will provide an overview of the incentives and rebates available for electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, including tax credits, rebates, cost-sharing contribution agreements and other financial incentives. We will also explain the criteria organizations must meet to qualify for these programs and how to apply.

  • Whether you oversee a fleet of school buses or delivery vans, electric vehicles are essentially batteries on wheels. Since Quebec’s introduction of major subsidies to electrify school buses in the last year, data has been pouring in that offers a relevant picture for fleets of all types on how to cost-effectively power operations at scale. Girardin Energie will explain what they've learned about optimizing the steps to fleet electrification from utility pole to charger and offer some key best practices when matching your operations to your charging hardware mix to minimize costs.
