The chargers
Forest green.
Copper-lit.
A 2.2-metre pillar in matte forest-green powder-coated aluminum. Full-height copper LED rails along both flanks, pulse-modulated to indicate charging status from across the lot. A portrait display at eye level for advertising and information; a smaller touchscreen below it for the transaction.
Dual CCS connectors. Side-mounted holsters with integrated cable management. The power module is hot-swappable and OEM-agnostic — Phihong, Tritium, or eVamb in-house electronics depending on the build.
Designed to feel less like industrial equipment and more like premium street furniture. The site already attracts traffic; the chargers should look like they belong there.
The store
1,500 square feet
of experience store.
A modular high-cube structure, fitted out off-site, then dropped onto a graded pad with no foundation work. Forest-green powder-coated exterior matching the chargers. Copper LED accents wrapping the body. A wide front opening onto the charging stalls — and a working hydroponic display visible from the inside.
Inside: live demonstrations of every product the company sells. A working DCFC pillar. A residential Level 2 charger on a stand. A solar canopy section showing the panel-to-inverter chain. A scaled wind-turbine cutaway. A battery-storage cutaway running the lights overhead. A working hydroponic display growing leafy greens behind glass. The site dashboard on a six-foot screen showing live numbers from the canopy, the storage, the chargers, and the farm.
The store is a destination, not a takeaway. Customers come to specify a residential install, brief a property survey, talk to an integrator, or just see what the company actually builds. The structure is removable and relocatable — but unlike the modular charging program, this format is rare on purpose. We expect a small number of these locations across Canada, not one at every commercial site.

The power
Solar in. Wind in.
DC out.
The site's primary energy source is on-site renewable. A solar PV canopy provides the daytime base. Lotus vertical-axis turbines on the canopy edge supplement after dark and through Ontario winters.
Both feeds run into a battery storage system, which delivers DC straight to the ten DCFC-180 stalls. The utility grid sits in failover, used for backup and peak shaving — never as the primary source. That single architectural decision is what makes the experience-store model work at locations the grid was never sized to support.
