EV charging stations in Canada and future collaboration with Chinese firms

The Future of EV Charging Stations in Canada Canada is accelerating its transition to electric mobility, driven by climate goals and consumer demand. With the federal mandate requiring 100% of new light-duty vehicle sales to be zero-emission by 2035, the need for a robust and accessible EV charging infrastructure is more urgent than ever. 🔋 Market Trends & Government Support Rapid Growth: As of 2025, Canada has over 35,000 public charging stations, with plans to exceed 100,000 by 2030. Federal Investment: Programs like the Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP) and the Canada Infrastructure Bank are injecting billions into charging infrastructure. Urban & Corridor Expansion: Most chargers are concentrated in Ontario, Quebec, and B.C., but expansion into rural and multi-unit residential areas is underway.   🌏 Canada-China Collaboration Outlook China leads the world in EV charging technology and manufacturing, with companies like Star Charge, TGOOD, BESEN, and Autel Energy offering scalable, cost-effective solutions. 🤝 Opportunities for Partnership Technology Transfer: Chinese firms can provide advanced DC fast chargers and modular systems tailored to Canadian climates. Joint Ventures: Co-developing infrastructure in Canada, especially in underserved regions. Standardization & Interoperability: Aligning protocols (e.g., OCPP, connector types) to ensure seamless user experience. Smart Grid Integration: Leveraging AI and IoT for energy optimization and demand response. ⚠️ Challenges to Address Regulatory Compliance: Canadian safety and cybersecurity standards must be met. Localization Needs: Equipment must withstand extreme cold and variable grid conditions. Market Competition: Chinese firms must differentiate from established Canadian players. 🔮 Looking Ahead Canada’s EV charging landscape is poised for transformation. With strong policy backing and growing consumer adoption, the market offers fertile ground for cross-border innovation. Strategic partnerships with Chinese companies could accelerate deployment, reduce costs, and enhance technological capabilities—ultimately supporting Canada’s goal of a net-zero transportation future.

Mr. Zhu brings decades of banking, compliance, and financial governance experience, and his participation is intended to reinforce investor confidence, ensure procedural integrity, and support the company in meeting its regulatory obligations.

Recovery of Ontario Corporation Keycode The Board discussed concerns regarding the Ontario Corporation Keycode, which is currently under the control of Ms. Zhou Fan and accessed through her personal email account. This situation poses a significant security and governance risk, as the Keycode is essential for accessing and updating the company’s corporate records.

Chen, 2025 ONSC 3648—which expressly restrains Ms. Zhou Fan from participating, directly or indirectly, in the management of Visionary Holdings Inc.—and following formal recommendations from securities counsel Mr. Steven Schuster and legal counsel Mr. Michael Myers, the Board deliberated and resolved to remove all corporate titles and positions held by Ms. Zhou Fan, including her position as Chair of the Board. The Board emphasized that the Court’s findings, particularly the risks identified in paragraph 57 of the decision, make it necessary to take swift and decisive action to preserve the integrity of the company’s governance structure. Retaining Ms. Zhou Fan in any corporate capacity would be inconsistent with the spirit and the Court’s order, and may expose the company to further legal, regulatory, and reputational risks. This resolution ensures the Board’s full compliance with judicial directives and reinforces its commitment to strong governance and proper oversight. It was further noted that any future reappointment of Ms. Zhou Fan to any corporate role would require a valid court order and Board approval.

This includes any authority to act on behalf of Visionary Holdings Inc. in any official capacity until further notice or court direction.
