26.10.2026 09:30:00 EET | Kempower Oyj | Press release
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,” said EV-olution Charging Systems Inc., Alex Kimmel. “Together, we’re helping STLévis build the charging infrastructure it needs to support its growing electric bus fleet and long-term electrification goals.”
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.

Kempower laajentaa tarjontaansa palvelupaketeilla, jotka tukevat lataustoiminnan optimointia ja kustannustehokkuutta22.10.2026 09:00:00 EEST | Tiedote
DC-pikalatausratkaisujen valmistaja Kempower laajentaa palvelutarjontaansa palvelupaketeilla, jotka on suunniteltu tukemaan yhtiön suoria asiakkaita, latausoperaattoreita ja latausinfrastruktuurin omistajia, vähentämään käyttökustannuksia, yksinkertaistamaan lataustoimintaa sekä parantamaan pitkän aikavälin sijoitetun pääoman tuottoa. Sähköautojen latausverkostojen laajentuessa nopeasti on latausinfrastruktuurin suorituskyvyn ylläpidosta ja käyttökustannusten hallinnasta muodostunut kasvava haaste. Ennakoimattomat huoltotarpeet, hajanaiset palvelumallit ja yhä monimutkaisemmat järjestelmät haastavat latausoperaattoreita löytämään entistä tehokkaampia ja skaalautuvampia palveluratkaisuja. Kempower vastaa haasteisiin tarjoamalla jäsenneltyjä, palvelutasosopimukseen perustuvia palvelupaketteja, jotka muuttavat huollon reaktiivisesta taakasta ennustettavaksi ja ammattimaisesti hallinnoiduksi prosessiksi.
