Switching to an electric fleet isn’t just a win for the environment; it’s a strategic business move. That said, for most North American fleet operators, the biggest challenge isn't the trucks—it’s the paperwork. Between shifting policies, complex carbon markets, and high upfront costs, the financial side of things can feel like a moving target.

At 7Gen, we’re here to clear the air. We simplify the complexity so your transition to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) is built on a rock-solid business case.

Navigating North American Incentives

Managing incentives requires constant attention. Programs evolve, funding shifts, and application windows can snap shut overnight. Missing a single deadline could mean leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table.

We break these financial opportunities into three main categories:

Federal and Provincial Rebates: Programs like Canada’s federal iZEV or Quebec’s Écocamionnage offer direct cash relief when you buy your vehicles.

Utility "Make-Ready" Programs: These are often overlooked, but many local utilities will actually help pay for the electrical upgrades needed to bring high-power charging to your site.

Carbon Credits: Under frameworks like the Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR), you can monetize your environmental impact. Every kilometer you drive on electricity instead of diesel earns a credit that can be sold on the open market.

Turning Carbon into Cash Flow

Carbon credits are a low-effort way to boost your P&L, often covering a significant portion of your energy costs. However, the "admin" side—registration, quarterly reporting, and finding buyers in a volatile market—is enough to overwhelm any finance team.

7Gen handles that entire lifecycle for you. We don’t just tell you the credits exist; we manage the registration, tracking, and sales on your behalf. We professionalize the process so you get maximum revenue with zero administrative headaches.

How we support you:

Regulatory Registration: We handle all the paperwork with the Ministry.

Energy Monitoring: We precisely track your electricity throughput.

Credit Generation: We manage the professional calculations and third-party verification.

Market Optimization: We sell your credits when the market peaks to get you the best price.

The Opportunity: Simple, Scalable Revenue

We take care of the technical hurdles so you can stay focused on your operations. By simply charging your fleet daily, you unlock high-value credits paid out annually.

The Potential: You could see $500+ per month for every single BrightDrop in your fleet.

The Scale: That’s just for one vehicle. The revenue grows right along with your fleet’s energy use.

The Reality: You can’t claim these credits retroactively. Every day you wait is a day of missed revenue.

Smart Risk Management

Incentive programs are, by nature, time-limited. 7Gen acts as your "policy sentinel," monitoring regulations to ensure you never miss a funding window that could change the ROI of your project. Instead of chasing rebates and waiting for checks, you’ll see the value reflected in predictable monthly costs.

Are You Eligible?

To see if your chargers qualify under federal regulations, we just need to know three things:

Hardware: What is the make and model of your chargers?

Primary Use: Is the station for your fleet, the public, or a private residence?

Connectivity: Are they "smart" chargers (can they report data without an external meter)?

The shift to electric is inevitable. Doing it without a sophisticated financial strategy is optional. Let us handle the "green" so you can focus on the go.
