Electric Vehicle Innovation Ontario (EVIO) Project

awarded

The Electric Vehicle Innovation Ontario (EVIO) project is an industry-academic partnership led by the University of Toronto's department of computer science, in collaboration with seven other southern Ontario universities. It aims to accelerate the development and commercialization of next-generation electric vehicle (EV) and mobility technologies by placing graduate students at EV and mobility companies to work on critical challenges such as battery chemistry, charging reliability, power electronics, mobility software, cold-weather performance, and advanced manufacturing. The project is supported by federal funding and matched by industry and academic partners, with the goal of generating economic activity, expanding R&D capacity, and accelerating EV intellectual property creation in Canada.
