The technology that we developed in Quebec helps us do a couple of different things.
When you think about a traditional fuelling structure like a gas tank, you think it's really about taking fuel safely from a big tank and putting it in your vehicle. But when you're using IoT, Internet of things, connected—things like charging stations that are networked—what you're actually doing is enabling a whole range of data reporting and analysis that helps our utility partners to understand the impacts on their grid. It also eventually will allow Canadians to make really smart choices about when they consume energy and how.
That will allow for cost savings, which as many witnesses here have mentioned, is really important, because there are different times of day, especially when we use solar or wind, where there's more power or less. It allows utilities to incentivize the best types of consumption.
On the flip side, if you're looking at a commercial landlord that's deploying a bunch of charging stations, such as many of our large clients who have started electrifying their parking lots, you'll see that it allows them to make really smart decisions about where they position charging stations, how much they charge for them. Really, it's about managing energy, which can be the biggest single cost in deploying those charging stations. Basically, it's opening up a whole new world of analytics and also smart energy management.
