Over the past few days, our team in Toronto weathered the city's biggest snowstorm in history—nearly two feet in less than 24 hours.

This didn't stop our team from charging up! ❄️🔌

We've dug ourselves out of the snow and are back in the office today.

(Shout out to our partner @IvyCharge, who kept their network running throughout the storm and helped many Ontarians make it home.)

⚡ EV charging is no longer a “nice to have.” It’s a business advantage.

As EV adoption accelerates, expectations for where people live, work, and shop are changing fast. For property owners and site managers, EV charging has become a powerful way to boost property value, attract tenants and customers, and unlock new revenue streams.

Our latest article breaks down:

Why EV charging is now an expected amenity—like Wi-Fi or secure parking
How flexible pricing and longer dwell times can drive ROI
The role of smart software in simplifying operations and scaling across portfolios
How incentives and rebates can significantly reduce upfront costs
Why acting now helps future-proof your properties

With the right strategy and software partner, EV charging isn’t just infrastructure—it’s a long-term asset.

We just wrapped up the inaugural Open Charge Alliance + @evroaming North America Member Meeting, hosted at our very own ChargeLab HQ.

Some of our highlights:
• The OCA launched its new whitepaper on EV charger network migrations
• We heard from experts on EV charger cybersecurity
• Lonneke Driessen gave an update on all the progress across OCPP working groups
• We discussed the crucial interplay between OCPP for charger communications and OCPI for handshakes between charging networks
• Michel Bayings prepared us for the upcoming release of OCPI 3.0

Thank you to everyone who joined us from Europe, Asia, and all across North America! 🌎

[ChargeLab @ChargeLabHQ]

Today, we're hosting North America's very first Member Meeting for the Open Charge Alliance and @evroaming. We've welcomed 40+ industry experts to discuss open standards for EV charging, interoperability, cybersecurity, and everything else that goes into building a better EV charging experience.

This morning, we heard from OCA Director Lonneke Driessen, plus engaging panelists who spoke about OCPP network migrations and security. This afternoon, we'll cover V2X, local controllers, and the interplay between OCPP and OCPI.

Tomorrow is all about roaming, with EVRoaming Foundation Director Michel Bayings kicking off a packed agenda.

We're proud to support both of these non-profit organizations that are working to standardize EV charging for all 💪

We welcomed our first snow of the season today at ChargeLab HQ in Toronto ❄️

Luckily, our indoor lab keeps us testing EV chargers throughout all four seasons. Our test lab is crucial in ensuring EV chargers operate smoothly with our back-end software and delivering ChargeLab's industry-leading uptime.

🚀 Boosting charger reliability: how we’re proactively reducing session failures

At ChargeLab, we know reliability isn’t just about uptime—it’s about every driver being able to start and finish a successful charging session.

Our latest post dives into how we’re using our Spark™ platform and a suite of proactive reliability tools to catch issues before they impact drivers—raising session success rates across thousands of chargers.

💡 Here’s a sneak peek at what’s inside:
✅ Smarter, safer reboots that preempt failures without disrupting drivers
✅ Automatic configuration enforcement that eliminates silent misconfigurations
✅ Carefully managed firmware updates that boost reliability without downtime

The results?
1.75% improvement in session success rate across pilot sites
17% reduction in failed sessions for L2 chargers
3% success rate improvement post firmware updates

We’re scaling these improvements across our network to make EV charging “just work.”

As an EV charging network provider, your reputation lives and dies by reliability.

Every failed charging session isn’t just a technical hiccup — it’s a frustrated driver, a potential social post, and a lost opportunity to build trust.

That’s why measuring the right reliability metrics is critical. The right data helps you see what’s working, pinpoint where drivers are struggling, and make smarter investments in your network.

We break down the most important reliability metrics for EV charging networks — from uptime to charge start success rate — and why driver-centric measurements are the new standard for network success.

Did you know that your EV chargers can do more than power vehicles—they can earn revenue and reduce emissions through carbon credit programs?

Our latest blog, “EV Charging and Carbon Credits: How Smart Networks Drive Decarbonization and Profit,” breaks down how carbon credit systems work, the difference between compliance and voluntary markets, and how EV charging operators can participate.

At ChargeLab, we’re helping operators connect to these programs so they can monetize clean charging and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon transportation ecosystem.

Electric vehicles are not only a joy to drive and a great way to reduce pollution—they are also a boost for our economy.

Today, I'm proud to stand with 40 other leaders in Canada's EV ecosystem as we urge the federal government to maintain Canada’s Electric Vehicle Availability Standard (EVAS).

EVAS provides clarity to investors, startups, and large enterprises alike. The EV industry has already unlocked $50B+ in investment and created more than 130,000 Canadian jobs. And we're just getting started.

Given our abundance of clean energy and natural resources, Canada should be a leader in EV adoption. EVAS gives us the framework to get ahead, instead of falling behind.
