Developing Clean Transportation
Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Lions Gate Construction applies its extensive
construction expertise to support the development of Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC)
station infrastructure, contributing to Canada’s transition to sustainable transportation.
While primarily known for new construction, renovations, commercial improvements, and
civil work, the company’s robust capabilities in site services and engineering position it to
deliver high-quality DCFC stations for electric vehicle (EV) fleets and public use. Lions
Gate’s efforts align with British Columbia’s goal of 100% zero-emission vehicle sales by
2035 and Canada’s commitment to net-zero emissions by 2050, helping to build a cleaner,
greener future.
High-Capacity DCFC Infrastructure
Lions Gate Construction leverages its civil work and site services expertise to design and
construct DCFC stations tailored for urban centers, commercial hubs, and high-traffic
corridors across British Columbia. These stations support a wide range of vehicles, from
passenger cars to medium- and heavy-duty fleets, enabling efficient and rapid charging to
facilitate widespread EV adoption. By integrating smart-grid technologies and predictive
maintenance systems, Lions Gate ensures up to 98% uptime reliability and reduces
operational downtime by up to 30% compared to traditional systems. This efficiency
delivers charging costs 50–55% lower than diesel fuel expenses, providing significant
savings for EV operators and fleet managers.
Renewable Energy Integration
Drawing on British Columbia’s abundant renewable energy resources—primarily
hydroelectric and solar, which account for over 98% of the province’s electricity—Lions
Gate powers its DCFC stations with clean energy. By incorporating high-efficiency
photovoltaic panels and advanced energy storage solutions, such as lithium-ion batteries,
the company minimizes grid strain and ensures consistent power delivery during peak
demand. This approach reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% compared to
diesel-powered alternatives, supporting Canada’s decarbonization goals and enhancing
the sustainability of its charging infrastructure.
Community-Focused Impact
Lions Gate Construction is committed to improving access to clean transportation,
particularly in underserved communities near industrial zones or high-traffic areas where
diesel emissions contribute to health issues like asthma, which can be 20–30% more
prevalent in these regions. By strategically deploying DCFC stations, Lions Gate helps
eliminate harmful pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, improving air
quality and public health. Through partnerships with municipalities and environmental
organizations, the company ensures its charging infrastructure aligns with Canada’s
environmental justice priorities, promoting equitable access to zero-emission
technologies.
Economic and Policy Alignment
Lions Gate supports British Columbia’s economy by creating jobs in the construction,
maintenance, and operation of DCFC stations. The company leverages federal and
provincial incentives, such as the CleanBC Go Electric program and Canada’s Zero
Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP), to expand its charging network costeffectively. These efforts drive economic growth while advancing Canada’s reputation as a
hub for clean energy innovation, positioning Lions Gate as a key contributor to the nation’s
sustainable infrastructure development.
Scalable and Future-Ready Infrastructure
Lions Gate designs its DCFC stations with scalability and adaptability in mind, ensuring
they can accommodate advancements in EV technology, such as higher-capacity batteries
and faster charging protocols. By creating modular infrastructure, the company prepares
for the projected growth in EV demand, with Canada aiming for 100% zero-emission
vehicle sales by 2035. Lions Gate’s expertise in civil work and site services, combined with
its forward-thinking approach, allows it to explore complementary technologies like
hydrogen fuel cells for heavy-duty applications, further enhancing its contributions to
clean transportation.
Commitment to a Zero-Emission Future
Lions Gate Construction’s work in DCFC station infrastructure reflects its dedication to
fostering a sustainable, low-carbon transportation system. By applying its proven expertise
in construction, engineering, and project management, the company delivers reliable,
accessible, and environmentally responsible charging solutions. With a 99% client
satisfaction rate and a commitment to quality, as demonstrated in its broader portfolio,
Lions Gate supports British Columbia’s CleanBC goals and Canada’s net-zero emissions
target by 2050, contributing to a healthier environment and a stronger economy through
innovative EV infrastructure
