Sharing EV charging stations between multiple drivers can be an effective alternative to installing a charger in every parking stall, making EV charging more accessible while helping to generate revenue and reduce costs for property owners. This model is increasingly common in residential buildings, where designated shared charging stalls can provide access to many residents without requiring every parking space to be electrified. They also play an important role in expanding public charging...

How EV Charging Generates Carbon Credits in Canada
Editor's note: This post was first published on August 13, 2026, and last updated on August 19, 2026.You may have heard that fossil fuel companies purchase carbon credits to offset their greenhouse gas emissions, but how does this system actually work? And can electric vehicle drivers and EV charging site managers get a piece of the action? Here’s a look at the system that rewards choosing clean energy, is accelerating EV adoption across Canada, and has been driving the rapid growth of...
Determining Your EV Charging Needs: Range, Mileage, and Driving Habits
When electric vehicle drivers estimate their charging needs, they often focus on an EV’s driving range, the distance it can travel on a full battery. That number is useful, but real-world performance depends on several factors, including driving patterns, environmental conditions, and even user psychology. Below, we look at all of these elements to help you understand and plan for your own charging needs.Hypercharge Pro Tip: According to the International Energy Agency, the current average EV...
How Retailers Can Make EV Charging More Profitable
Many retailers have taken meaningful steps towards promoting electric vehicle adoption by upgrading the customer experience with EV charging stations. In doing so, they add value to every visit while bringing in a steady source of additional revenue. But inconsistent charger access, high charging fees, and other common driver complaints can make retailers appear a step behind. Here we look at solid strategies for getting the most out of EV charging and how refining the details can elevate...
EV Charging 101: Plugs and Protocols
A successful electric vehicle charging session is a simple one, completed in just a few easy steps. Achieving that simplicity, however, takes a complex interplay of hardware, software, and communication systems that work together seamlessly to create a frictionless experience. For new EV and charging station owners, learning about the relationships between of all these components can feel overwhelming. In this primer, we break down two essential building blocks: the physical connections...
5 Most Common Issues with Public EV Charging
About one in five electric vehicle charging sessions hits a snag, according to research from Harvard Business School. Far more complex than gas pumps, EV charging stations rely on advanced technology with multiple points of interaction between vehicles and the charger’s hardware, software, and network. Each point represents a potential hitch, but industry-leading charging solutions and proactive measures can head off trouble before it begins. Here we look at five of the most common problems...
How Fuel Efficient are EVs: Cost per Distance to Drive Electric
How much could you save by going electric? We’ve looked at how dramatically electric vehicles can slash maintenance costs compared to gas-powered equivalents and how much less you could spend on fuel each year by making the switch. Now, we’re zooming in on another important metric: the cost of charging per kilometre or per mile.The Importance of Understanding Cost per DistanceUnderstanding per-kilometre or per-mile costs can help you budget more accurately for fuel and gain a clearer picture...
EV Charging Cost vs Gas: How Much You Can Save Each Year
In a previous post, we looked at the significantly more affordable maintenance costs for electric vehicles, which are about 40% lower compared to gas or diesel models. But the savings don’t stop there. Switching to an EV can also cut your fuel costs dramatically. Statistics Canada reports that the average household spends about $2,600 annually on gasoline and other fuels, while the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) estimates that EV drivers spend only a few hundred dollars per year...
How Much Does It Cost to Maintain an EV?
Electric vehicles require far less maintenance than gas‑ or diesel‑powered cars that emit climate-warming greenhouse gasses. That means you can enjoy significant savings per kilometre, per year, and across the lifetime of your vehicle. In this post, we show why going green is not only better for the planet but can make a real difference to your wallet.Why Are EVs Less Expensive to Maintain?Inside a internal combustion engine (ICE) is a confined chamber where fuel ignites and combusts, creating...
