Elocity Technologies Inc. is a Canadian Smart Electric Vehicle Charging Technology Company headquartered in Toronto, Ontario. Founded in 2018, the company develops electric vehicle (EV) charging hardware, software, and managed services for multi-unit residential buildings, commercial properties, and electric utilities. Elocity operates in 12 countries across four continents, with markets including Canada, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, India, Spain, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, Australia, and Singapore.

History

Elocity Technologies Inc. was founded in 2018 in Toronto, Ontario, by Sanjeev Singh, who serves as Founder and Chief Executive Officer. The company used the Schneider Electric Smart Grid Laboratory at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) as a testing facility during its launch phase, and conducted early utility pilots with London Hydro and Toronto Hydro.

In early 2020, Elocity collaborated with London Hydro, a regional electric utility serving London, Ontario, to conduct an EV charging pilot. The pilot provided participants with Elocity's EVPlug hardware and a mobile application to monitor and manage vehicle electricity consumption. The initiative received support from the Ontario Government's Smart Grid Fund.

In November 2021, the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) announced a $1 million investment in Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) projects in Ontario, which included Elocity among the participants.

Products and Services

HIEV Series Hardware

Elocity manufactures the HIEV Series of Level 2 alternating-current (AC) electric vehicle charging stations. Hardware is manufactured in Ontario and is available in indoor and outdoor configurations, including wall-mounted, pedestal, and overhead-mounted form factors. The HIEV Series incorporates Measurement Canada–certified sub-metering, enabling tenant-level billing in multi-unit residential buildings.

HIEV CPMS / EVEMS Software

Elocity's HIEV Charge Point Management System (CPMS) and EV Energy Management System (EVEMS) support Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) 1.6. The platform is vendor-agnostic and interoperable with more than 50 makes and models of EV supply equipment. Features include energy-based and time-based billing, time-of-use pricing, smart load management, reservation and queuing, analytics, and reporting. All customer data is hosted within Canada.

Smart Load Management

Elocity's dynamic load management technology operates at a 1:4 ratio- one unit of electrical infrastructure capacity supports four units of charging capacity — reducing peak electrical demand on building systems by approximately 75 percent.

HIEV-Nano — Vehicle-to-Grid Platform

In June 2025, Elocity announced HIEV-Nano, a nano-grid EV charging platform combining solar, battery storage, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) functionality. The platform supports V2G, vehicle-to-building (V2B), and vehicle-to-home (V2H) capabilities.

The HIEV-Nano project received an investment of $663,592 from the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network (OVIN) R&D Partnership Fund, matched by $1,327,183 from Elocity and its partners, representing a total project investment of $1,990,775. Industry partners include Burlington Electricity Services Inc. (BESI) and Milton Energy & Generation Solutions Inc. (MEGS).

Services

Elocity offers Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS) delivery models, preventive and on-demand maintenance, utility integration services, and 24/7 bilingual (English and French) customer support.

Notable Deployments

Richmond Centre, British Columbia

In July 2025, Richmond Centre, a residential development in Richmond, British Columbia, was announced as the site of Canada's largest multi-residential EV charging project. The project, delivered by Enlightened Building Technologies using Elocity's smart charging hardware and software, comprises 1,212 Level 2 EV chargers installed across a parkade spanning an area described as equivalent to six football fields.

Project partners included Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) as federal program funder, Shape Properties as project developer, Cadillac Fairview as property owner, Ozz Electric as infrastructure contractor, and Axiom Builders as general contractor. The project was reported by multiple independent outlets including Business in Vancouver, Connect CRE, and Western Investor.

London Hydro EV Charging Pilot

In early 2020, Elocity partnered with London Hydro to deploy an EV charging pilot for residential customers in London, Ontario. The pilot tested real-time monitoring, load management, and off-peak charging incentives, with findings used to inform demand management algorithms.

IESO Vehicle-to-Grid Projects

In November 2021, the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) announced Elocity as one of the participants in a $1 million investment in Vehicle-to-Grid demonstration projects aimed at testing bidirectional charging capabilities on Ontario's electricity grid.

TMU Schneider Electric Smart Grid Laboratory

Elocity conducted early hardware testing and algorithm development at Toronto Metropolitan University's Schneider Electric Smart Grid Laboratory, a facility capable of replicating substation and feeder configurations of any Local Distribution Company (LDC). The lab enabled Elocity to validate its load management software against real-world utility scenarios prior to commercial deployment.
