OnCurb by Hypercharge
OnCurb by Hypercharge is a curbside EV charging solution designed for residential streets and neighbourhoods where drivers park overnight on the street. Hypercharge installs and operates public charging stations, with no capital cost to approved site hosts.
What is OnCurb?
OnCurb by Hypercharge is a public EV charging solution for on-street parking areas, including residential permit zones and other curbside locations.
Using an energy supply agreement with an adjacent building, Hypercharge installs and operates curbside charging stations that give residents and visitors a practical way to charge near home. Drivers pay to charge through the Hypercharge network, while approved site hosts benefit from a new revenue opportunity with zero operating burden or cost.
OnCurb is designed to support neighbourhood EV adoption by bringing charging closer to the people who need it most.
