Viridian Power (VP) and Rapid Electric Vehicles (REV) have teamed up to install charging stations throughout Canada. The companies are actively seeking the assistance of municipalities, cities and utility companies throughout the country as they aim to launch pilot test projects for electric vehicles (EVs) in virtually every major city there. VP and REV have enlisted the help of Coulomb Technologies and will utilize its ChargePoint stations throughout Canada.

REV chief executive officer Jay Giraud said, "Our 2012 objective is to connect every major city across the country with a network of charging stations coast to coast." Of course, this implies that a load of chargers must be installed within a brief amount of time, but as Coulomb Technologies CEO Richard Lowenthal previously mentioned, Canada is:A strategic and important country for deployment of electric vehicle charging stations. There are hundreds of progressive organizations, utilities and government entities that have shown strong interest in laying the groundwork for the necessary infrastructure to welcome EV's to the market.Let's hope that the trio of VP, REV and Coulomb can charge up our northerly neighbors soon.
