500 EV Chargers and Counting! Drivers across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area now have 500 reasons to feel confident about going electric. In less than three years, we’ve grown from 8 chargers in January 2023 to Canada’s largest municipally owned EV charging network. And this week, with our partners in this initiative Toronto Hydro and City of Toronto (Environment, Climate & Forestry) we celebrated a proud milestone with the inauguration of our 500th charger at 9 Willingdon Blvd - Green P Carpark 504. Every new charger isn’t just hardware, it’s a promise to provide choice, ease, and speed to EV drivers: Choice to charge where and when it works best for your journey without range anxiety. Ease for city residents who don't have access to home charging but still want to drive electric. Speed and momentum toward a cleaner, connected Toronto where sustainable mobility options are transforming how people move. “As an avid and appreciative user of the Green P EV charging network, I can honestly not overstate the importance of this infrastructure. Without the prevalence of the Green P charging network, owning an EV in Toronto would be a very challenging prospect for people like me who can’t charge at home. As a consumer who is personally committed to lowering their carbon footprint, but also trying to balance expenses, I greatly appreciate the Green P network, and their commitment to EV charging accessibility and affordability. Thank you, Green P!” - Jeff McConnell, Green P EV Customer. This milestone reflects how far we’ve come and how much further we’ll go together. "Our mission is clear: to create a seamless mobility experience that delivers on Choice, Ease, and Speed for our customers. Purposeful expansion of our EV network is a catalyst for EV adoption across Toronto by creating accessible, reliable, and trusted charging solutions for city residents. This milestone also reflects our passion to advance the City’s TransformTO Net Zero Strategy by building a more sustainable and integrated mobility eco-system to keep Toronto moving." - Scott Collier, President, Toronto Parking Authority. The expansion of our network has been possible through partners who have worked with us every step of the way. “Reaching 500 energized EV charging stations is a testament to what strong partnerships can achieve. Toronto Hydro is proud to have helped build the foundation for this growing network and to support the city’s broader electrification efforts.” - Jana Mosley, President & CEO, Toronto Hydro This milestone drives us to keep delivering EV charging services that accelerate adoption.  Together, we’re building a future of sustainable mobility: powered by Choice. Ease. Speed.

Ball Arena, in partnership with Flash, announced the launch of Denver’s single largest electric vehicle charging installation. The new public EV charging hub at Kroenke Sports & Entertainment’s home of the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, and Colorado Mammoth is up and running with 60 total charging ports now available to fans during games and events. “This EV charging hub and our partnership with Flash exemplifies our commitment to sustainability, enhancing the fan experience, and supporting our community,” said Matt Bell, Senior Vice President of Venue Operations at Ball Arena. “It represents the kinds of community amenities and infrastructure we envision for the area with our redevelopment plan and the sustainable mobility alternatives we need to support the parks, open space, and density the plan calls for.” Located in Ball Arena’s Camry South Lot, the new expansive charging hub represents a significant milestone for expanding Denver’s EV infrastructure. The installation comes as Colorado’s accelerating EV adoption broke records late last year, with 5,200 charging stations currently serving the state’s growing community of EV drivers. “As we re-imagine our existing surface parking lots to create a truly vibrant urban experience, initiatives like this charging hub show how we’re not only transforming individual lots, but also facilitating a connected downtown ecosystem that serves our fans and our broader Denver community,” Bell said. Starting this summer, the charging hub will serve both event attendees and the broader Denver community, with public access available during the 250 events Ball Arena typically hosts throughout the year. Over time, the hub will form part of Ball Arena’s broader development strategy to include enhanced community mobility, access to transit, a local shuttle system, and more and better pedestrian connections. Strategically located at Speer Boulevard and Auraria Parkway, with convenient access to Interstate 25 and nearby light rail service, the Arena is positioned at the intersection of several major connections through downtown Denver. “Denver is embracing the future of transportation, and Ball Arena is setting the standard for how entertainment venues can support that transition,” said Matt McCaffree, Vice President and General Manager at Flash. “Our partnership delivers a secure, reliable, and seamless charging experience that fans and community members will expect from one of Denver’s premier destinations.” The 60 Level 2 charging port hub is now operational and open for use to EV drivers.

Houston, TX — Fine Airport Parking, a leader in premium off-airport parking services, announced that it has selected Zevtron, a cutting-edge electric vehicle (EV) charging technology provider, to deliver scalable and infrastructure-friendly EV charging at its two facilities serving George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) in Houston. As part of the initial deployment, Zevtron will install 16 chargers supporting 32 EV charging ports across both garages. Each charger will be powered by Zevtron’s white- labeled operating system, which provides Fine Airport Parking total control over who can use chargers and how they can be used, while also allowing the company to monetize EV charging. Zevtron’s platform is hardware agnostic, so it can be implemented to manage existing chargers at Fine Airport Parking locations, as well as the Zevtron chargers being deployed now at George Bush International Airport. Because it’s white labeled, the platform will allow Fine Airport Parking to expand their brand into EV Charging. “Zevtron’s platform is by far the most innovative, user-friendly, and cost-effective EV charging solution we’ve come across,” said John Davey, Senior VP of Marketing and Strategy for Fine Airport Parking. “Because it’s fully customizable, it will give us complete control over how we manage and monetize our EV assets.” Zevtron is implementing an innovative low-power charging system that allows multiple vehicles to be charged from a single 40-amp electrical feed, delivering multiple-port functionality per device. This approach enables Fine Airport Parking to leverage its existing electrical infrastructure with no additional utility or infrastructure upgrades—making the transition to EV support fast, efficient, and cost-effective. This creative approach enables parking owners and institutions to “right size” their operations, providing a customized charging approach that meets the owner’s unique needs while supporting the rapid growth of electric vehicle adoption. And it makes EV charging technology much more affordable and accessible to smaller operations and owners who have experienced sticker shock in the past from the prices of legacy EV charging technology providers. “The Zevtron platform also has the scalability we need so the system will grow with us,” said Davey. “Being able to include EV charging with our reservation platform or implement pricing strategies will be extremely beneficial to us, as well as to our customers. Zevtron is giving us a turnkey solution that will allow us to easily recoup our investment because of the level customization they offer.” Zevtron’s dual-port, low-power approach represents a breakthrough in EV infrastructure that emphasizes smarter and more efficient use of existing resources. This slow-charge approach is also perfect for airports because travelers typically park for several days at a time. “Fine Airport Parking is one of America’s leading independent parking owner/operators, and we’re proud to support their EV infrastructure strategy,” said Bob Andrews, Zevtron’s founder. “Our platform is designed to offer seamless scalability, smart energy management, and powerful customization tools—making it ideal for owners and operators looking to deliver premium EV charging without breaking the grid or the budget.” Following the successful deployment at IAH, Fine Airport Parking plans to roll out Zevtron EV charging solutions at its Hobby Airport location in Houston, followed by facilities serving Denver International Airport and Tulsa International Airport. About Fine Airport Parking Fine Airport Parking is a premier off-airport parking provider with state-of-the-art facilities across the United States. Known for its customer-first approach, Fine offers high-end amenities, convenience, and security to travelers flying out of major airports.
