As Ontario accelerates toward a greener future, electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy are no longer distant visions—they’re critical tools for building resilient, equitable communities. At Dashcharger Technologies (DCT), we’re more than an EV charging provider. We’re a cleantech innovator with over 40 years of experience designing integrated energy solutions that empower municipalities to reduce emissions, cut costs, and lead the clean energy transition.
By partnering with DCT to install EV chargers at community centers, libraries, parks, and other municipal sites, local governments gain more than infrastructure—they unlock a smarter, holistic approach to energy management. Here’s how municipalities can accelerate sustainability, economic growth, and community equity with Dashcharger’s cleantech expertise.
Why Dashcharger Technologies? A Cleantech Innovator with Proven Impact
DCT is a leader in the clean energy revolution, specializing in integrated energy systems that combine EV charging with renewable power, storage, and smart grid technology. Our unique approach ensures municipalities don’t just adopt EVs—they build future-ready energy ecosystems.
Our Solutions Include:
Distributed Energy Resources (DERs): Solar PV, battery storage, and grid-edge technologies that reduce reliance on fossil fuels and stabilize energy costs.
Holistic Energy Management: AI-powered software to optimize energy use across EV chargers, buildings, and renewables, maximizing efficiency and savings.
EV Charging Networks: Scalable, smart chargers designed to integrate seamlessly with DERs and municipal energy goals.
40+ Years of Expertise: Proven deployments of EV charging and energy systems for governments, businesses, and utilities across North America.
Unlike traditional charging providers, DCT ensures every EV charger is part of a larger clean energy strategy, helping municipalities achieve climate targets while strengthening grid resilience.
1. Accelerate Climate Action & Energy Independence
Ontario’s municipalities face mounting pressure to cut emissions and transition to renewable energy. DCT’s cleantech solutions turn EV chargers into catalysts for decarbonization:
Pair chargers with solar/storage to power them with 100% clean energy, reducing grid strain and fossil fuel dependence.
Smart load management balances charging demand with building energy use, slashing peak-hour costs.
Meet provincial mandates (e.g., zero-emission vehicle sales by 2035) while preparing for federal carbon pricing.
2. Future-Proof Infrastructure with Scalable Technology
EV adoption is growing, but so is energy demand. DCT’s systems grow with your community:
Start small with chargers at a single community center, then expand to libraries, transit hubs, and parks.
Integrate renewables and storage to avoid costly grid upgrades.
Smart software provides real-time energy analytics, helping municipalities plan budgets and infrastructure.
3. Turn EV Chargers into Revenue Generators
Public charging isn’t just a service—it’s a revenue stream. DCT helps municipalities:
Offset costs with user fees, advertising, or partnerships with local businesses.
Leverage grants like Canada’s ZEVIP and Ontario’s ChargeON programs (we handle the paperwork!).
Electrify municipal fleets (e.g., buses, garbage trucks) and use public chargers to power them at lower rates.
4. Drive Equity & Community Resilience
EV access shouldn’t depend on income or housing type. DCT works with municipalities to:
Prioritize chargers in underserved neighborhoods, including multifamily housing and rural areas.
Offer subsidized rates for low-income residents.
Build disaster-resilient hubs by pairing chargers with solar/storage to keep lights on during outages.
