Canadian EV solutions provider led by President Trina Hiscock brings a ‘reliability-first’ approach to infrastructure, investment and skilled workforce development
September 9, 2026, TORONTO, ON: bodeEV, a Canadian-incorporated electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure solutions provider, is taking aim at one of the most pressing challenges facing Canada’s transition to electric transportation: ensuring EV charging infrastructure is convenient and works when and where Canadians need it.
Led by President Trina Hiscock, bodeEV provides end-to-end EV infrastructure solutions, from planning and installation through operations, maintenance and operation of charging stations. Its flexible business model is designed to help property owners, businesses, fleets and communities deploy reliable charging infrastructure, manage it effectively and, where possible, guarantee utilization built on EV driver convenience to create a revenue-generating asset. In short, bodeEV is committed to fix and ensure utilization of e-mobility infrastructure.
Officially launched at the EV Charging Summit & Expo in Las Vegas in March 2025 as an operational EV charging installation, operations and maintenance company, bodeEV has since expanded its presence in Canada. Today, bodeEV is working with property owners, multi-unit residential buildings, commercial customers and fleets in Ontario and British Columbia to plan, install, operate and maintain reliable EV charging infrastructure. The company is continuing to expand its Canadian operations, with new projects to be announced in the coming months.
Hiscock has been involved in building bodeEV from its early development, working alongside Founder & CEO Brendan O’Donnell as the team developed and communicated its driver focused business model and reliability-first approach to solving one of the EV industry’s most persistent problems: simply making charging infrastructure work. She will continue her role as Chief Simplicity Officer & COO of bodeEV while taking on the new role as President of the Canadian office.
“Trina has been instrumental in building bodeEV and shaping our vision from the beginning,” said O’Donnell, a veteran EV infrastructure entrepreneur with 20 years of industry experience. “Canada has the talent, technical expertise and entrepreneurial capacity to become a leader in EV infrastructure. With Trina leading bodeEV Canada, we have an opportunity to invest in that capacity, continue to build strong Canadian relationships and help deliver the reliable EV infrastructure Canadians and the world needs.”
Making Reliability the Standard
Canada’s EV charging market is entering a new phase. As governments, utilities and the private sector continue to invest in charging infrastructure, the challenge is shifting from simply deploying more chargers to ensuring those assets are properly installed, maintained and used over the long term. “Canada is emerging as a leader in e-mobility,” said O’Donnell. “It has clean electricity, supportive energy and transportation policies, experienced industry leaders and policymakers who understand that charging infrastructure has to work. That creates an environment where investment and innovation can translate into real growth. For bodeEV, investing and growing in Canada isn’t simply about entering another market—it is an important part of building a company that can compete and lead in the global e-mobility industry.”
bodeEV was built around a straightforward principle: EV charging should just work.
Its reliability-first model addresses persistent challenges including charger downtime, slow repairs, fragmented service and aging or underperforming equipment. bodeEV combines installation with ongoing operations and maintenance (O&M), using AI-enabled remote diagnostics to identify and assess problems quickly, backed by qualified technicians and electricians who can be deployed when on-site service is required. This technology-enabled approach allows bodeEV to provide defined service standards, including remote assessment and diagnostics within two hours, on-site technical response within 24 hours and electrician dispatch within 48 hours—helping customers maximize uptime and the long-term value of their charging investments.
“Canada doesn’t just need more chargers. We need charging infrastructure Canadians can depend on,” said Hiscock. “Every charger that doesn’t work undermines confidence in electric transportation and reduces the value of the investment that put it there. Our focus is making those investments work for drivers—bringing together the technology, installation, maintenance and drivers with our accountability for long-term performance.”
Investing in Canadian Capacity
For bodeEV, building and operating reliable EV infrastructure also means building the Canadian capacity required to support it.
Electricians and other skilled trades are essential to installing, maintaining and upgrading Canada’s growing charging network. As bodeEV Canada grows, job creation, Canadian technology partnerships, skilled-trades development and training will be important parts of its strategy, including opportunities to work with Canadian e-mobility industry leaders, educational and training partners, and to strengthen EV infrastructure skills and capabilities.
bodeEV also believes the next stage of Canada’s charging buildout will require strong private-sector participation. Public investment can help catalyze infrastructure development, but achieving the scale Canada needs will require businesses willing to invest alongside governments, utilities and communities—bringing capital, technology, expertise, innovation and skilled jobs to the table.
“Canada has an opportunity to build more than charging stations,” said Hiscock. “We can build Canadian expertise, create opportunities in the skilled trades and develop capabilities that will become increasingly valuable as transportation electrifies. Companies like bodeEV are committing to invest alongside Canada and be part of building that capacity.”
Solutions for Canada’s Diverse Charging Needs
Canada’s geography, climate, housing and transportation needs require flexible charging solutions. As the country invests in new housing, expands its electricity infrastructure and builds the transportation systems needed for future growth, EV charging will increasingly need to be planned and integrated as part of that broader infrastructure.
Hiscock says bodeEV’s second year at the EV & Charging Expo in Toronto reinforced how quickly the conversation around Canada’s charging infrastructure is evolving.
“There was a noticeable shift in the conversation this year from deployment to performance,” said Hiscock. “As Canada moves into the next phase of its charging buildout, success will depend not only on the technology we deploy, but on how well it is integrated into very different sites and how reliably it performs over its lifetime. Getting installation, operations and maintenance right are becoming increasingly important to protecting those investments, improving utilization and delivering the experience drivers expect.”
The needs of a commercial property or fleet can be very different from those of a multi-unit residential building (MURB), condominium, rental property, workplace, highway corridor or community. Grid capacity, available electrical infrastructure, utilization, climate and ongoing maintenance all affect how charging should be planned, financed and managed. bodeEV’s model is designed around that flexibility and is ready to grow alongside Canada’s commitment to doubling its energy grid by 2050.
Rather than simply installing equipment and walking away, the company can support the full lifecycle of charging infrastructure—from site assessment and installation to network management, operations, maintenance, upgrades and ongoing service. As Canada’s charging network grows, the opportunity for property owners is increasingly about making charging infrastructure both reliable for drivers and financially sustainable over the long term. bodeEV offers flexible ownership and operating models, including revenue- and profit-sharing approaches where appropriate, designed to reduce the operational burden on property owners, increase utilization and help them realize value from their charging investments. In doing so, bodeEV can help strengthen the business case for new projects and support continued private investment in Canada’s charging network.
The model has particular potential for Canada’s growing MURB market, where property owners, condominium corporations and rental housing providers must balance demand for EV charging with electrical capacity, installation costs, ongoing management and long-term maintenance.
“Property owners shouldn’t have to become EV charging experts,” said Hiscock. “Whether it’s a condominium, rental building, commercial property or fleet, we can help determine the right solution, get the infrastructure operating and manage it over the long term. The goal is to make charging work for the driver and make economic sense for the property owner.”
Building on Canadian Industry Engagement
bodeEV’s work in Canada is already underway.
The company has been active in Ontario and British Columbia and engaged in Canada’s electric mobility sector through industry organizations, policy discussions and relationships across the EV ecosystem.
bodeEV has been a member of the Canadian Charging Infrastructure Council (CCIC) and has engaged with Electric Mobility Canada (EMC) on issues affecting the development of reliable, scalable charging infrastructure.
That engagement will continue nationally. bodeEV Canada will participate in Electric Mobility Canada’s EVVE 2026 national conference in Winnipeg, Manitoba, October 20–22, joining leaders from across the country’s electric mobility ecosystem to examine the next stage of Canada’s transition to electric transportation.
“Canada isn’t one charging market,” said Hiscock. “Different communities, businesses and fleets have different needs. Our job is to understand the challenge, build the right solution, invest in the people needed to deliver it and then stand behind its performance.”
More Canadian Projects Ahead
bodeEV Canada expects to announce additional Canadian projects and initiatives in the coming months, building on its work in Ontario and British Columbia and developing opportunities across the country.
The company’s strategy will focus on areas where its reliability-first model can have the greatest impact, including MURBs and residential properties, commercial and public charging, fleet electrification, multi-site infrastructure, charging-station management, infrastructure upgrades, and ongoing operations and maintenance.
“We see tremendous opportunity in Canada—not simply to build infrastructure, but to help build the expertise, workforce and businesses that support it,” said Hiscock. “We want bodeEV Canada to be a company that invests here, creates opportunities here and helps make Canada’s EV infrastructure work.”
