Case Study: Sparkle Solutions scales turn-key EV charging with SWTCH

As-a-Service EV charging – Sparkle is trailblazing a new business model

Sparkle Solutions, a major Canadian commercial laundry equipment supplier, sought to expand its offerings by providing EV charging solutions to its multi-residential and industrial clients. They faced significant challenges including limited electrical capacity in buildings and a lack of robust management software. To overcome this, they partnered with SWTCH for its EV charging and load management technology.

By implementing SWTCH's solution, Sparkle was able to deploy a turn-key service for building owners, managing the entire charging process from installation to maintenance. The robust system, featuring remote diagnostics and 24/7 monitoring, resulted in extremely high reliability; in three years, only one service call was received from an EV driver. This successful partnership has allowed Sparkle to deploy over 150 chargers, with plans for 100 more, and to develop a profitable pay-as-you-go business model where they share revenue with property owners.
