Greenscape, Garage Juice Partner To Link British Columbia With EV Charging Network

Published: 05-Feb-2010

Greenscape Capital Group (Greenscape) has said that through its wholly owned subsidiary, Green.Switch Capital (Green.Switch), and in partnership with Garage Juice Bar (The Juice Bar), it is implementing Canada's first province-wide electric vehicle (EV) charging station network.

This network will be 100% privately financed and will link all of British Columbia through the installation of EV charging stations on properties owned or operated by existing Greenscape energy retrofit clients and on other third-party locations.

The Juice Bar is also negotiating agreements with several large US municipalities to provide EV charging station networks through the Green Garage Initiative, a team of energy conservation and alternative energy innovators.

Greenscape and The Juice Bar will be implementing single stall EV plug-in kiosks, installable at parking garages and other strategic locations. The implementation will fit within the Greenscape network of energy efficiency clients. Greenscape and The Juice Bar will share revenue generated at these kiosks with their partners.

A full, province-wide network is targeted for completion within one year. This project can be financed by existing company capital.

Ryan Skomorowski, CEO of Green.Switch, said: "Many of the major auto manufacturers are on track for electric vehicle production in the near term. There will be a growing demand for an easy and accessible network of EV charging stations, otherwise consumers will be limited to charging their electric vehicles at home. Through existing relationships with our retrofit clients, Green.Switch is in an excellent position to meet this coming demand.

“The roll out of this network is targeted to provide revenue for Green.Switch and its partners while also creating market differentiation and brand building opportunities for our current energy retrofit clients."
