Nikmaq is building the infrastructure and connectivity between Canadians to keep our economy and people moving while incorporating the most efficient, cutting edge technologies available.

CHARGING STATIONS LEVEL

Many drivers are making the change to electric. Cheaper purchase prices, gas, and maintenance, as well as reduced emissions, make switching to electric an attractive option. Electric vehicle drivers are also eligible for rebates and tax credits, increasing the potential of further savings.

We offer professional electrical services for installing electric vehicle charging stations in residential and commercial spaces, with three charging options:

Plugin Hybrid Vehicles

Both of these types of electric vehicles run on electricity, or an electricity-gasoline hybrid combination. When the battery depletes, it would be recharged using electricity from a charging station. 

Charging stations can be installed both residentially or commercially. We want to make it as easy an as quick as possible to charge your vehicle so you can go anywhere, anytime.
