Your charging station could earn you money this winter

You've done it! You've decided to buy a charging station. And what if it also made you money? The Hilo intelligent solution for electric vehicle charging is an ingenious tool that lets you optimize your electricity consumption and relieve the strain on the power grid, while accumulating cash rewards. Here's how it works.

Thanks to Hilo and its electric vehicle (EV) charging solution, you can make an important ecological gesture simply by charging your EV during off-peak hours. What's more, you'll be helping to lighten the load on the power grid.

Thanks to connected devices such as smart thermostats, wall outlets and compatible EV charging stations, Hydro-Québec's Hilo smart home service lets you better manage your electricity consumption. What's more, it rewards you monetarily when you succeed in its energy reduction challenges.

The growing number of electric vehicles (EVs) is increasing the number of users charging their cars simultaneously. This increases the demand on the already overstretched electrical grid, especially in winter.
 
You can link selected EVduty electric vehicle charging stations to your Hilo app, thanks to our partnership with Elmec. A smart way to recharge your vehicle that lets you earn rewards during Hilo challenges.

The Hilo solution lets you earn cash rewards for completing challenges during peak periods.

Simply add your compatible terminal to the Hilo app and you're ready to go.

Every winter, during periods of high demand, Hilo launches energy reduction challenges.

It's simple: the more you participate, the more cash rewards you earn - an average of $140 per customer per winter.

First Drive: 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime

The only thing wrong with Toyota’s new plug-in RAV4 Prime is that, well, you can’t buy one. At least, not if you’re in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, or the Maritimes. Wave all the cash around you want. Call your “friend” at the Toyota dealership. Hell, call the president of Toyota. You ain’t getting a RAV4 Prime this year, and maybe not next year, either.

MEVS and QEVS postponed to next year

QEVS
The Quebec Electric Vehicle Show, which was to take place from May 22 to 24, 2020, had still not been postponed, but the decision of Quebec government to maintain the confinement until May 4, also forces us to postpone this event also next year, on May 14, 15 and 16, 2021 at the Centre de foires de Québec.

MEVS
The event which was originally scheduled to take place from April 24 to 26, 2020 had to be postponed to June 13, 14 and 15, 2020 due to the COVID-19 crisis. Unfortunately, the decision of the city of Montreal to cancel all public events until July 2 requires us to postpone the Montreal Electric Vehicle Show next year, on April 23, 24 and 25, 2021 at the Olympic Stadium.
