KEMPOWER HAS BIG PLANS FOR CANADA'S EV CHARGING

EV Channels Review

This episode of the Out-of-Spec Podcast features Pascal Flambard, Business Development Manager for Kempower in Canada, discussing the company's strategic expansion and vision for the Canadian EV charging market. Flambard highlights Canada's proactive government regulations, including ICE bans by 2035, which are driving significant EV adoption targets. A key challenge identified is the vastness of Canada, making rural charging infrastructure crucial, a problem Kempower addresses with solutions like battery storage systems. The discussion emphasizes Kempower's commitment to reliability, citing a 98% uptime, and its unique technological heritage stemming from industrial welding machines, providing over 75 years of experience in power module development. Differentiators include local manufacturing of power modules, robust testing in extreme climates (comparable to Finland's), and a focus on future-proofing through scalable systems and megawatt charging for commercial vehicles. Kempower's deployment strategy relies on certified sales and service partners to ensure quality and proximity to end-users, avoiding a purely distribution model to maintain accountability. The company's approach to scalability, allowing power and dispenser upgrades, and dynamic power sharing, enables customers to maximize their investment and adapt to growing demand, positioning Kempower as a forward-thinking leader in the Canadian EV charging landscape.
