FractalEV and AXSO brings EV charging solution for multi-unit buildings

AXSO Eddie and FractalEV now a bundled solution

KITCHENER — FractalEV, a Canadian Level 2 EV charger manufacturer, and AXSO, a subsidiary of Hydro-Québec known for its energy management solutions, partner to transform electric vehicle (EV) charging in multi-unit residential buildings.

This combines FractalEV’s hardware with AXSO’s Eddie platform, offering an OCPP solution that reduces ongoing SaaS fees by up to 80 per cent, lowering building owners’ costs.

This new bundle from FractalEV and AXSO offer a scalable solution that integrates hardware with intelligent energy management by simplifying deployment, optimizing energy use, and reducing the need for extensive support.

“Our goal with this bundle is to make EV charging as seamless and cost-effective as possible for both building owners and drivers,” said Chris Mendes, CEO of FractalEV. “FractalEV chargers are designed to be reliable and easy to manage, and with AXSO’s Eddie platform, we can extend those benefits even further.”

Eddie, AXSO’s latest innovation, is an electric vehicle energy management system (EVEMS) specifically designed to address the complexities of EV charging in multi-dwelling units. Developed entirely in Quebec, Eddie uses intelligent power management to accommodate a high volume of EVs without exceeding a building’s power capacity. This feature makes it possible to avoid costly electrical upgrades and save energy costs, particularly during peak periods.

FractalEV’s chargers are equipped with commercial-grade hardware, including full-colour touchscreens, built-in RFID readers, and visual status indicators. Eddie complements this with a transparent pricing model, easy charger locating, and billing options. The solution also offers sophisticated load balancing and power management tools. Additionally, the chargers arrive pre-commissioned with Eddie, reducing on-site IT requirements.

“This collaboration with FractalEV is about more than just cutting costs — it’s about delivering a reliable, scalable solution that meets our customers’ real-world needs,” said Alexandre Bérubé, president and CEO of AXSO.
