United Chargers Unveils Grizzl-E Connect: a Game Changer for Commercial EV Charging
Revolutionizing EV Infrastructure
United Chargers Inc. has officially launched the Grizzl-E Connect, a cutting-edge commercial EV charging software platform designed to transform how businesses manage electric vehicle charging. Unveiled on February 26, 2026, this innovative platform expands on the company’s successful Grizzl-E line, which includes popular residential chargers like the Grizzl-E Classic and Grizzl-E Smart.
Founded in 2019 by CEO Gleb Nikiforov in Richmond Hill, Ontario, United Chargers manufactures over 100,000 EV chargers annually from its 38,000 sq. ft. facility. The Grizzl-E Connect platform aims to address the rising demand for commercial charging solutions, particularly as the global EV market continues to evolve.
Key Features and Functionalities
The Grizzl-E Connect platform is tailored for fleet operators and businesses looking to streamline their charging operations. It integrates essential features such as:
- Multi-site management: Easily oversee multiple charging stations.
- Billing integration: Simplify the payment process for users.
- Load balancing: Optimize energy usage across all charging points.
These features are crucial for companies like UPS, which plans to operate a fleet of 10,000 EVs by 2025. The platform uses the OCPP 1.6 standard, ensuring compatibility with various charging hardware, making it an attractive option for mid-sized operators.
Market Context and Future Prospects
The launch of Grizzl-E Connect comes at a pivotal moment, with commercial EV charging demand surging by 40% year-over-year as reported by Deloitte. In Canada, the EV market share reached 12.5% in 2025, spurred by federal incentives totaling $1.2 billion from 2024 to 2026. Such dynamics underscore the urgency for robust charging solutions that can support the growing number of electric vehicles on the road.
As the global EV sales reached 14 million units in 2023, the need for efficient and scalable charging solutions has never been greater. United Chargers’ expansion plans, including a new factory in Mexico for Latin American markets, are poised to meet this increasing demand head-on.
Why Grizzl-E Connect Stands Out
One of the defining aspects of Grizzl-E Connect is its commercial focus, challenging the notion that EV charging software is only viable for large networks. Unlike competitors, United Chargers operates without government subsidies, showcasing its profitability and resilience since its inception.
Moreover, Canadian-made Grizzl-E chargers are designed to withstand extreme temperatures, functioning effectively from -30°C to +50°C. This durability, coupled with certifications from UL and Energy Star, positions Grizzl-E Connect as a reliable choice amidst rising competition.
