MONTREAL — ABB Installation Products announced the launch of its Microlectric® EM Series Electric Vehicle Energy Management System (EVEMS). Designed to reportedly optimize energy distribution without other electrical upgrades, ABB is trying to target EV owners with its new product.

Increasing EV adoption is leading homeowners to seek reliable, cost-effective charging solutions. ABB says its EVEMS optimizes power distribution, helping to ensure that EVs charge only when sufficient electrical capacity is available and eliminating the need for other panel upgrades.

“Empowering Canadians to embrace clean energy starts with removing the barriers that slow adoption,” said Leila Sedighi, Vice-President Product & Marketing, ABB Installation Products. “By making EV charging more accessible and cost-effective, ABB is helping accelerate Canada’s transition to a sustainable future.”

Using Black Box Innovations’ patented designs and technology, the EM Series is trying to grow in the EV charging market — without overloading a home’s electrical system.

ABB’s EVEMS is reportedly compatible with residential electrical service entrances ranging from 60 to 200 Amps.

Manufactured in Canada at ABB’s Iberville facility in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and Black Box Innovations’ technology manufacturing hub in Calgary, Alberta, the Energy Management product line expands ABB’s Microlectric portfolio.

“This partnership allows Black Box Innovations to leverage ABB’s Canadian product assembly, marketing, and distribution capabilities to meet the growing demand for our patented electrical load mitigation products and power control systems. It facilitates our go-to solutions to be readily available to every market across Canada,” said Taner Cairns, CEO of Black Box Innovations Inc.
