Technologies: Zero-Emission Vehicles and Infrastructure
Solas Energy Consulting Inc. supports governments, utilities, and public-sector partners with planning-grade, scenario-based infrastructure studies that translate complex analysis into implementable decisions. Our work focuses on electrification, EV charging infrastructure, energy systems, and climate-aligned planning across diverse urban, rural, remote, and Indigenous contexts.
We specialize in transparent and repeatable modelling frameworks that allow assumptions to be tested, scenarios to be refreshed over time, and results to remain comparable as conditions change. Our approach emphasizes governance, traceability, and real-world feasibility, bridging technical analysis with policy objectives, delivery constraints, and equity considerations.
Across Canada and the United States, we are trusted to deliver decision-ready studies that support long-term infrastructure planning while respecting planning-grade boundaries and implementation realities.

ZEVs reduce emissions, thereby reducing fossil fuel consumption, ecological impact, and pollution. This leads to improved health outcomes, especially in densely populated metropolitan areas.
Our zero-emission vehicle infrastructure services include:
Solas Energy offers a deep understanding of current and future ZEV and hydrogen markets. This includes market penetration of ZEVs, customer motivations, market segmentation, value chain providers, and grid impacts of this rapidly accelerating industry.
Fleet electrification decisions are rarely just a vehicle question. Charging infrastructure, energy system capacity, route and duty-cycle realities, and the specific policy environment a fleet operates in all shape whether electrification, alternative fuels, or a mixed approach makes sense for a given fleet. We help governments, utilities, and fleet operators work through that full picture rather than starting from a vehicle-first assumption.
Our EV Intelligence (EVi) database gives clients a practical shortcut through that process: nearly 500 zero-emission vehicles and equipment specifications in one place, so fleet decisions can be grounded in real vehicle data rather than vendor claims alone.
The transportation sector accounts for more than 20% of GHG emission in Canada and the US. Governments and companies are advancing net zero policies to meet decarbonization goals and electrifying transportation is a key component to achieving these goals. Canada has set a mandatory target to have 100 percent zero-emission vehicle sales by 2035. In the US, states have begun setting goals to eliminate combustion engine vehicles to reach the country’s goal of becoming a net zero emissions economy by 2050. California, for example, will phase out the sale of new combustion engine vehicles by 2035.
Fleet decarbonization and zero emission fleet infrastructure deployment can also be used to meet Environment, Social, and Government (ESG) targets, net zero goals, or carbon compliance requirements. Learn more about our sustainability advisory services here.
Solas Energy is at the forefront of fleet decarbonization. Our electric vehicle adoption model is used to forecast EV sales, charging infrastructure growth, home charger sales, electricity demand and grid impacts, GHG impacts, and battery and associated minerals and metals demand. The model is based on government policy, technology advancements, vehicle availability, and EV adoption observations, and is available by country or by province/state for multiple vehicle types. This model is used to support clients in developing their fleet decarbonization strategy.
Our EV Intelligence (EVi) database compliments our fleet decarbonization advisory services. EVi is updated on a quarterly basis to assist organizations with specifying their EV fleets, by providing up-to-date information on vehicle price, range, efficiency, sales, and market availability. This database provides valuable insights to support a fleet decarbonization implementation roadmap. Learn more about EVi here.
Solas Energy provides our clients with a broad range of fleet decarbonization advisory services. We bring our in-depth knowledge of the EV market and strong modeling capabilities to support the development of a fleet decarbonization strategy designed to meet our clients’ unique needs. As a company committed to EV adoption to support our own net zero strategy, we apply our practical experience and insights in developing roadmaps for implementation.
Our deep understanding of the electricity sector and grid modernization supports our ability to predict EV and distributed resource adoption and grid impacts for utilities. We also support stakeholder communications and engagement, drawing on our many years of work with renewable energy infrastructure development and implementation.
