Kempower and EV-olution Charging Systems Inc. optimize electric fleet expansion capacity for Société de transport de Lévis in Canada
40 ceiling-mounted Kempower Control Units maximize limited depot space in one of Canada’s largest public transit depot-charging installations.
Kempower, a global provider of DC fast-charging solutions for electric vehicles, and Canadian sales and service partner EV-olution Charging Systems today announced the deployment of a 3 megawatt electric bus charging system for Société de transport de Lévis.
The installation features 40 ceiling-mounted Kempower Control Units with cable retraction systems, maximizing available depot space while providing scalable charging to support its growing electric bus fleet.
Our partnership with Kempower allows us to bring flexible, high-performance charging solutions to complex fleet projects.Together, we’re helping STLévis build the charging infrastructure it needs to support its growing electric bus fleet and long-term electrification goals.” Alex Kimmel, EV-olution Charging Systems Inc.
Kempower’s distributed charging system dynamically distributes available power among connected vehicles based on charging needs, helping fleet operators manage peak demand and reduce operating costs. The system’s Control Units can also help fleet operators save millions in infrastructure costs by adapting existing facilities for EV charging rather than building new depots.
“Transit operators need charging infrastructure that supports their current operations and can scale,” said Kempower North America President Monil Malhotra. “The STLévis project demonstrates how flexible charging infrastructure can provide the power needed for large-scale fleet electrification while making efficient use of existing depot space.”
STLévis currently operates 20 electric buses, with plans to expand its electric fleet in 2027.
The STLévis project was a collaboration among EV-olution, Rexel Energy Solutions, Fize Electrique, and Kempower.

About EV-olution Charging Systems Inc.:
EV-olution Charging Systems Inc. is an Ontario-based EV charging infrastructure company, founded in 2018 on a simple idea: reliable charging starts with the infrastructure behind the charger. Its “Always-On EV Infrastructure, Designed Upstream” approach starts with how a customer actually operates (vehicles, schedules, available power, and the cost of downtime) and engineers the electrical, software, and service support to match, so sites keep performing years after installation and scale as fleets grow.
