As part of its commitment to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, Canada Post Corporation is advancing a national electric vehicle charging network.
Challenge
Planning for fleet electrification at a national scale required a comprehensive assessment of existing electrical infrastructure across a diverse portfolio of secure, operational facilities. The studies needed to identify infrastructure constraints, future capacity requirements, and site-specific challenges that could affect the implementation of charging facilities.
Solution
Engaged by JLL Real Estate, Cion and NORR conducted feasibility studies at more than 90 facilities across Canada to assess existing electrical infrastructure and identify requirements for future charging stations. The investigations evaluated electrical services, transformer capacity, peak demand, and site conditions, while identifying operational and physical constraints that could affect implementation.
Outcome
More than a workplace, the space operates as a living lab for measurable progress. As one of only three projects in Canada—and 17 globally—registered for Zero Carbon Certification™, it demonstrates our leadership in net-zero design while providing a practical model for others to pursue meaningful decarbonization efforts.
The feasibility studies supported Canada Post’s commitment to electrify a fleet of nearly 14,000 vehicles, with targets of 50% electrification by 2030 and 100% by 2040.
