In response to Enel X’s recent decision to exit the North American market, leaving over 170,000 EV chargers orphaned, Electric Avenue is stepping up to support affected commercial customers with a limited-time offer. Electric Avenue will provide a free Watti Pro Lite 48A commercial EV charger to every Enel X commercial customer wishing to replace an orphaned Level 2 charger, offering a solution to those left without software support for their charging infrastructure.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are rapidly becoming a mainstay in households across North America, celebrated for their eco-friendliness and efficiency. However, as more EVs hit the road, a concerning issue has emerged: the potential for house fires caused by charging these vehicles using standard NEMA 14-50P receptacles at 40 amps. In this post, we delve into the risks associated with using these receptacles, explore real-life experiences from EV owners and electricians, and offer practical advice to ensure your EV charging setup is as safe as it is convenient.

The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) offers substantial financial and environmental benefits, with EVs often proving to be more economical over their lifetime due to lower refueling and maintenance costs when compared to traditional gas-powered vehicles. This shift is supported by federal investments aimed at positioning Canada as a global leader in the EV market, creating manufacturing jobs, and fostering innovation. Electric Avenue and the government announced two investments for Level 2 chargers.

Between federal and provincial rebates, EVs are more accessible to Canadians than ever before. However, one final hurdle to address is the accessibility of charging stations for these EVs. Natural Resources Canada’s Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP) aims to address this discrepancy. While the program has been ongoing for several years, there is one final round of funding to be allocated, and it’s only open until September 19.
