Kempower North America shipped its first carbon neutral, ETL certified, EV chargers made in the US to the heart of the Athabasca oil sands in Alberta, Canada.
DURHAM — In the heart of the largest known reservoir of crude bitumen in the world, Kempower’s direct EV charging Satellites are being requested; with the company’s first product shipment in North America, deployed Thursday, December 14, 2023 from its new North Carolina site.
“The world is taking notice, and in many places, decisions are being quickly and aggressively made to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said President Tim Joyce, Kempower North America. “We are thrilled to provide an EV electrification solution that if adopted worldwide will be key to saving this planet for future generations,” added Joyce.
Kempower North America shipped its first carbon neutral, ETL certified, EV chargers made in the US to the heart of the Athabasca oil sands in Alberta, Canada.
“Even in an area that’s home to the fourth-largest oil reserves in the world; it’s clear that green transportation, particularly an infrastructure of DC-FC EV charging satellites, will no longer be optional,” said Business Development Manager Pascal Flambard, who spent months negotiating the first sale and shipment of the (pictured) EV charging solution to Kempower’s first Canadian partners ChargeStop and EVLution, consisting of a 600kW Kempower Power Unit and Kempower Charging Satellites.
“Alberta is the oil capital of Canada, but electrification is mandatory to sustain our future, and the future has already arrived,” added Flambard.
Just this year the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed federal emission standards recommending that 67 percent of future light-duty and 25 percent of heavy-duty vehicles sold are electric by 2032.
Meeting those standards, Director of Operations & Business Development at Kempower North America, Marcus Suvanto says are dependent on infrastructure that will need a technological difference that makes Kempower’s DC charging technology a possible choice for a myriad of fleet owners and operators, retailers, charging station developers, harbour facility operators, environmental planners and beyond.
Kempower is in discussions with municipal designers across major metropolitans including but not limited to Alberta, Ontario, New York, Raleigh, Chicago, San Francisco and beyond to provide the DC-FC EV charging systems to millions of diverse operators who need both low and high voltage; overnight, destination and on-the-move megawatt charging options.
