Bidirectional charging technology to hit Canadian EV market

By Michelle Froese | March 31, 2025

XCharge North America, a provider of high-power EV charging and battery-integrated solutions designed to strengthen the North American electrical grid, announced a strategic partnership with Hypercharge Networks, a North American EV solutions provider, to extend its global footprint and bring XCharge NA’s GridLink chargers to Canada.

To support the development of EV charging infrastructure in Canada, XCharge NA will supply GridLinks to Hypercharge, who will distribute the chargers to automotive dealerships and customers across British Columbia and Ontario.

As part of this partnership, Hypercharge will handle software and customer support maintenance, while XCharge NA will oversee preventive hardware maintenance under the unit warranty.

Additionally, the Hypercharge team will receive training and certification to manage corrective hardware maintenance, ensuring long-term operational efficiency.

Despite growing demand for EVs in Canada, much of the country still requires additional power infrastructure to support rapid charging. Built with serviceability and flexibility in mind, GridLink by XCharge NA allows for a wide range of input power to achieve maximum output performance by offering a base capacity of 215 kilowatt-hours that can be expanded to 430 kilowatt-hours.

This flexibility ensures optimal performance across a wide range of deployment scenarios, and provides businesses with the reassurance and confidence they need in their energy technology solutions. Other notable features include:

  • GridLink provides advanced bidirectional charging technology, seamless grid integration, and renewable energy support.
  • The bidirectional charging technology allows power to flow back into the grid or act as an off-grid energy source, enhancing overall grid stability.
  • The grid integration feature enables the charger to support direct integration with photovoltaics.
  • GridLink not only promotes electric transportation but also strengthens each region’s sustainable energy infrastructure.
