EVSTART announced Wednesday the acquisition of Electrocan Power Services, an electrical contractor based in Southern Ontario [1, 2].
This move allows EVSTART to scale its operational capacity and technical expertise in the electric-vehicle (EV) infrastructure market. By integrating a specialized contractor, the company can accelerate the deployment of charging stations across the region.
Electrocan Power Services operates out of Concord, Ontario [1, 2]. The firm specializes in the installation and maintenance of EV infrastructure, providing the technical labor and electrical expertise required for large-scale charging deployments.
The acquisition is part of a broader strategy by EVSTART to broaden its capabilities within the charging sector [1, 2]. The company intends to use the acquisition to fuel continued growth as demand for EV infrastructure increases in Canada.
While the financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, the merger combines EVSTART's corporate resources with Electrocan's regional contracting footprint [1, 2]. This vertical integration reduces the company's reliance on third-party electrical contractors for its installations.
EVSTART's expansion into Southern Ontario positions the company to capture a larger share of the regional market, a critical step as more consumers transition to electric vehicles [1, 2].
