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...
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...
British Columbia businesses, Indigenous organizations, local governments, and non-profits will soon be able to access renewed funding through the CleanBC Go Electric Rebates program for medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles. The refreshed program opens on August 10, 2026, providing point-of-sale rebates for eligible commercial zero-emission vehicles across vehicle classes 2b to 8.

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...
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...
Every EV charging deployment poses the question: do you want your users to pay to plug in? For many electric vehicle site owners and operators, charging fees are an essential part of their business model. But there are strategic advantages to offering free EV charging, as well as broader considerations, such as customer experience and sustainability commitments. In this post, we’ll break down the case for both free and paid charging and explore a flexible third option that can be adapted to...
Workplaces have quickly become the second-most common location for electric vehicle (EV) charging, behind home charging. As EV adoption accelerates, charging at work is an increasingly important amenity, one that improves employee satisfaction, supports recruitment and retention, and encourages more people to go electric. A recent Plug In America survey found that 72% of employees without EV-related workplace incentives are keen to have them, with 98% of respondents expressing interest in...
EvoCharge has announced it will permanently close its electric vehicle charging business, with its network scheduled to sunset at the end of October 2025. Commercial and multi-family properties using EvoCharge equipment are now facing a critical decision on how to maintain smart charging operations. At Hypercharge, we’re here to ensure your transition is seamless. Because EvoCharge stations are built on OCPP – the same open standard we use – your chargers can be onboarded to the Hypercharge...
In a recent post, we shared five ways to cut the cost of installing electric vehicle charging stations. Now, let’s talk about what comes next: the ongoing cost of keeping those EV chargers up and running. From routine maintenance to software fees, we've crunched the numbers to give you the average annual cost per station, excluding electricity. But first, let’s break down the key expenses you’ll want to factor into your long-term planning.Equipment MaintenanceCommercial charging stations have...
