What Vers l'avenir does
Vers l'avenir (legal name Vers l'Avenir Innovation) is a Quebec-based EV charging infrastructure specialist founded in 2017 and headquartered in Normandin, with branch offices in Saguenay and Quebec City. The company operates a multi-brand retail distribution model for Level 2 (240V) and Level 3 (DC fast, 50–480 kW) charging stations, acting as Quebec distributor for Technove, EVduty, FLO, ChargePoint, Autel, ABB, BEQ, Grizzl-E, and Wallbox, alongside accessories (cables, pedestals, adapters including J1772/NACS/CCS, cable recall systems) and proprietary smart-terminal Wi-Fi upgrade modules. It also distributes complementary clean-energy and security products such as SolarPod solar shelters, photovoltaic/wind systems, solar lighting, EcoFlow portable power stations, and LTE surveillance cameras.
Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time hardware sales (residential Level 2 stations priced $600–$1,400; commercial stations $1,695–$3,050; Level 3 fast charging quoted at $15K–$150K), accessories and components, and professional services including turnkey installation, consulting, and solar project management. Go-to-market combines a Shopify e-commerce storefront with consultative field sales, and installation is delivered through a province-wide network of certified electrical partner companies augmented by a strategic alliance with BEQ Technology — Quebec's largest EV charging sales and installation network. Vers l'avenir also holds the regional mandate for Tesla Motors' destination charger program and provides conference-based education led by its founder in his capacity as Regional Director of the Association des Véhicules Électriques du Québec (AVEQ).
The company serves individual EV owners, multi-unit residential communities, commercial customers (shopping centers, hotels such as Riôtel, fleet operators), and organizations pursuing transportation electrification across Quebec. It is a privately-held, bootstrapped business with approximately 9 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, and recent recognition as winner of the 2025 Dubuc Gala micro-enterprise award from the Saguenay-Le Fjord Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
