Did you know EVs are gaining massive popularity?
The EV industry is on the rise to be one of the leading industries in the Canadian economy. In fact, the Canadian government even announced a 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan, which promotes clean air and a strong economy. Additionally, the Canadian government is developing a light-duty ZEVs (Zero Emission Vehicles) sales mandate for new vehicle purchases, which will set annually increasing requirements towards achieving 100% ZEV sales by 2035, including interim targets of at least 20% by 2026 and at least 60% by 2030.
​With an increase of Canadians purchasing EVs, NEVS is here to provide Canadians with the ultimate EV charging solution!
Our company is trailblazing the EV industry with our leading-edge EV chargers and our proprietary mobile App. We are now pleased to offer Airbnb property owners free installation for level 2 EV charging stations. As a Canadian-listed company, we aim to grow and gain profit by installing EV chargers across B.C. and building an eco-friendly environment for our community.
Benefits of installing our EV chargers:
1. Minimized initial cost
Property owners can bare the low initial cost of setting up EV chargers since we take on the full burden of the EV charger hardware, network devices, auxiliaries, and the installation work cost. No strings attached regarding the installation! Owners are only liable for the parking spaces to place the EVs and chargers. We can proudly say that this has been a huge merit for our business partners.
2. Transparent profit sharing
Our company gains profit mainly from EV charging parking fee and BC CFR LCFS(carbon credit refund program) which will all be shared with the Airbnb property owners. Plus, we are considering to apply for other eligible rebate programs of BC gov if applicable. The proportion sharing shall be transparently decided annually after considering the initial cost. These terms are to be agreed upon mutually and reasonably. Please inquire for more details.
3. Attract additional EV users + more potential profit!
Your EV charging station could not only be used for Airbnb guests but also for other nearby EV users. This commercial-use type is going to maximize the opportunity for operating your own station even when your place is not occupied by guests. We are planning on listing our station locations on Google Maps this year for the publicity of our stations. Our offer is only for the 50 selected Airbnb property owners and we highly recommend you to consider applying it as early as possible before it gets fully booked.
We pride ourselves on building a solid relationship with our partners to run a sustainable business. The NEVS team helps property owners achieve faster and more convenient EV charging, in accordance with turning our city into eco-friendly.
EVs are in high demand!
