"We look forward to serving the Canadian market and lending our expertise to those who face the challenge of managing complex choices around hardware and software, network integrations, physical installations, and long-term management and maintenance of charging stations," says Jordan Ramer, CEO and Founder of EV Connect. "Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's goal to reduce Canada's emissions to 40% below 2005-levels by ramping up cleantech and sustainability efforts perfectly aligns with EV Connect's vision.
