Solaris Advances Fleet Sustainability with New EV Charging Infrastructure in Nisku

Solaris is pleased to announce the successful installation of three new level 2 Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations at its operations facility located at 1204 – 8A Street, Nisku AB.  This milestone marks a key step in the company’s strategy to electrify its fleet and reduce its carbon footprint through cleaner transportation solutions.

The new charging infrastructure will support Solaris’ internal operations by enabling efficient charging of electric vehicles used in its service fleet.  The project demonstrates Solaris’ ongoing commitment to innovation, environmental responsibility, and forward-thinking business practices.

“We are proud to contribute to Canada’s transition toward a low-carbon economy,” said Ken Lam, Director of Solaris. “This investment in EV infrastructure not only benefits our operations but also reflects our values in sustainability and responsible growth.”

This project was made possible with support from Alberta Municipalities and the Electric Vehicle Charging Program (EVCP). The EVCP is delivered by Alberta Municipalities with funding from Natural Resources Canada’s Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program.”

Solaris looks forward to expanding its sustainability initiatives, with the EV project serving as a foundation for broader environmental and operational efficiencies.
