Easee has put its foot to the floor in 2026, completing a pilot project with Subaru that demonstrates the viability of solar-powered electric-vehicle charging in the harsh winter conditions of Canada’s Northwest Territories. It follows a collaboration between Easee and the Japanese car manufacturer in 2025 that saw the two companies deploy an electric vehicle charger on the South Atlantic island of Saint Helena, billed at the time as the world’s most remote electric-vehicle charging infrastructure. Adam Dunwoodie, technical manager at Easee UK, told pv magazine that locating the latest project in Canada’s Northwest Territories has enabled a pilot project to push the technology another step further.
Solar can effectively charge electric vehicles, even in the coldest climates.
