Why Elocity is Canada’s Most Certified EV Charging Technology Company
Certified EV charging Canada leaders know that certifications separate reliable platforms from the rest — and Elocity leads the field with the most comprehensive certification stack of any Canadian EV charging technology company. Elocity holds key certifications covering reliability, cybersecurity, accurate billing, and open EV charging infrastructure — giving Canadian property managers, utilities, condo boards, fleet operators, and real estate developers a charging solution that is secure, compliant, and future-ready.
Certifications help customers verify whether an EV charging company meets recognized industry standards. For Elocity, these certifications reflect a strong commitment to open technology, data security, accurate energy measurement, and Canadian regulatory compliance.
This guide explains Elocity’s full certification stack and why it matters for EV charging deployments across Canada.
Why Certifications Matter in EV Charging
The EV charging industry in Canada is growing rapidly, but not all charging companies meet the same standards. Certifications are independently verified proof that a product, platform, or company meets specific technical, security, or regulatory requirements.
For Canadian property owners, utilities, fleet managers, and municipalities deploying EV charging stations, certifications answer critical questions: Is this charger safe? Can it integrate with other hardware? Is billing accurate? Is my data protected?
Key certifications in the EV charging space include standards such as OCPP for hardware interoperability, ISO 27001 for information security, and Measurement Canada approval for accurate billing. For businesses and public sector organizations, these certifications directly impact long-term performance, compliance, cost recovery, and trust.
Elocity’s Certification Stack
1. OCPP 1.6 Certification
Elocity is the first certified EV charging company in Canada to receive full OCPP 1.6 certification from the Open Charge Alliance.
OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) is an open communication standard that allows EV chargers and charging management software to work together seamlessly. OCPP certification means customers avoid vendor lock-in and have the flexibility to manage different charger brands through a single platform.
With Elocity’s HIEV CPMS platform, property managers, utilities, and fleet operators can manage Elocity chargers as well as other OCPP-compliant third-party chargers — giving organizations maximum hardware flexibility.
2. ISO 27001 Information Security Certification
Elocity is ISO 27001 certified, an internationally recognized standard for information security management.
EV charging platforms collect and manage sensitive data including user accounts, charging sessions, payments, and energy usage. ISO 27001 certification demonstrates that Elocity follows rigorous security practices to protect customer and operational data against threats and breaches.
For utilities, municipalities, and public sector organizations, ISO 27001 certification also helps satisfy procurement and cybersecurity compliance requirements.
3. Measurement Canada-Certified Sub-Metering
Elocity’s Level 2 smart EV charger includes a built-in Measurement Canada-certified sub-meter.
This certification means the charger accurately measures energy consumption for billing purposes — a legal requirement for commercial and multi-unit residential EV charging in Canada. For condos, apartments, commercial properties, and workplaces, accurate sub-metering ensures EV drivers are billed fairly for the electricity they use.
With built-in certified sub-metering, customers typically do not need a separate metering device, reducing installation complexity and total cost.
4. Third-Party Cybersecurity and Web Application Testing
Elocity’s platform has undergone third-party cybersecurity testing and web application penetration testing.
Independent security audits verify that Elocity’s charging management system is protected against common vulnerabilities including unauthorized access, data interception, and application-layer attacks. This is especially important as EV charging networks become critical infrastructure in Canada.
For enterprise customers, knowing that Elocity has passed independent cybersecurity testing confirms the platform is prepared for large-scale EV charging deployments.
5. Canadian Data Residency
Elocity guarantees that all customer data remains stored within Canada.
Canadian data residency is essential for utilities, public sector organizations, and regulated businesses that must comply with local privacy laws and data sovereignty requirements. Many global EV charging platforms host data on servers outside Canada, which can create compliance risks.
Elocity’s Canadian data residency commitment reduces regulatory risk and gives customers confidence that their data is handled in accordance with Canadian privacy expectations.
