EV Charging Education for Building Owners and Residents

The EVSTART Charging Coast to Coast Tour was born out of the growing need for multi-residential properties in Canada to prepare for the future of electric vehicles (EVs). With EV sales on the rise and government incentives supporting the adoption of EVs, it became clear that building owners and managers required education and guidance on installing reliable EV charging infrastructure.

Wyse recognized the importance of educating both building owners and residents about EV technology, charging infrastructure, and the benefits of sustainable living. By organizing a coast-to-coast tour, we aimed to bring valuable information directly to the stakeholders, showcasing the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of installing EV chargers in multi-residential properties.

By connecting with more than 50,000 people on social media, the tour reached a wide audience and sparked conversations about sustainable living and EV adoption. Through personalized interactions with hundreds of residents, owners, and developers, it demystified EV charging and inspired action.

The tour also addressed the significant hurdles faced by renters and those lacking access to charging capabilities at home or work. It highlighted the need for increased charging infrastructure in urban areas and emphasized the role of multi-residential buildings in building a national EV charging network. By bridging the information gap and providing comprehensive solutions, the tour transformed the perception of EV charging from a complex challenge to a streamlined process.
