The property developer is sourcing 323 Level 2 stations from the EV charging provider. Deliveries begin this summer through to 2025

Mattamy Homes, a Toronto-headquartered property developer, has signed a deal with EV charging solutions provider Hypercharge to incorporate EV charging into its upcoming multifamily developments.

In all, 323 Level 2 charging stations will be installed in housing developments throughout the Greater Toronto Area. Mattamy says the charging stations (referred to as “the master product agreement”) is an “initial order” from Vancouver-based Hypercharge.

“To Mattamy Homes, this partnership with Hypercharge is a wonderful example of our common commitment to a more sustainable future, ensuring that our homeowners have a seamless EV charging solution,” said Mohammad Haque, sustainability manager of Mattamy Homes Canada, GTA urban division, in a press release.

“We understand the rising demand for electric vehicle solutions, and this partnership puts us in a place where we can be proactive and provide our customers the best experience possible, while working toward a low-carbon future.”

Growing portfolio of developer relationships

With EV adoption rates rising, access to charging at home is an essential amenity.

Hypercharge has already forged relationships with developers of multi-unit residential buildings in British Columbia. It also says it is “active” in eight Canadian provinces.

“We are honoured to partner with Mattamy Homes, a leader in North American home building, to bring Hypercharge charging solutions to new developments across the Greater Toronto Area,” said Chris Koch, head of growth & partnerships at Hypercharge.

“In our mission to drive a fully carbon neutral future where every EV has place to charge, nowhere is better suited than right at home.”

In addition to Mattamy, Hypercharge lists 15 other developers it has relationships with on its 2024 investor presentation. It also sets growth in Canada and the United States for Level 2 MURB charging as one of its goals.

Mattamy bills itself as the largest privately owned homebuilder in North America. It has not yet clarified which of its GTA projects will receive the chargers or if the company will seek to replicate the deal in other locations where it operates. (The developer is also active in Dallas, Charlotte, Raleigh, Phoenix, Tucson, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, Sarasota, Naples and Southeast Florida.)

Building for zero-emission transportation

Mattamy is a proponent of the “sustainable community of tomorrow” in some of its more recent development projects.

Currently, Mattamy has built one all-electric community in Pickering, Ont., and says it has another under construction.

In its annual sustainability report Mattamy highlights a development in Southeast Florida called Tradition. There, new homebuyers receive an e-bike and have access to a zero-emission autonomous shuttle.

“We’re…demonstrating that making sustainable choices doesn’t have to mean giving something up. It can mean choosing something different — and better,” reads the report.
