NILE’s TurnOnGreen Update
Previously, in December 2020, NILE’s subsidiary TurnOnGreen had entered into an agreement for the installation of Level 3 EV chargers at certain Tim Hortons locations. The agreement was undergone with select franchisees as part of a revenue-sharing program. However, due to pandemic-related supply chain constraints and restrictions on access to Canada, the pilot program suffered a delay. With pandemic and supply-chain issues calming down, TurnOnGreen resumed work on the project in February 2022.
Since resuming the work, TurnOnGreen along with its Canadian partner has achieved various milestones including sire planning, permitting, and previsioning the required power infrastructure at the first pilot location. The company expects the installation to be completed in Q2 2022.
