With a $2.5-million investment, the University of Toronto will deliver programming to help Canadian companies bring their EV innovations to market
December 12, 2025 – Toronto, Ontario
The Government of Canada is taking action to build a strong, competitive and clean economy by supporting the researchers, innovators, and companies who are developing advanced technologies that will power the next generation of electric vehicles (EVs) and batteries.
Today, Karim Bardeesy, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Industry and Member of Parliament for Taiaiako’n-Parkdale-High Park, on behalf of the Honourable Evan Solomon, Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), announced an investment of $2.5 million for the University of Toronto to establish Electric Vehicle Innovation Ontario (EVIO).
Led by the University of Toronto’s Department of Computer Science, in collaboration with seven other southern Ontario universities, EVIO will unite industry associations, economic development organizations, companies and EV employers to support the sector into the future.
The University of Toronto will embed graduate researchers directly within Ontario EV and mobility firms, where they will work on real-world challenges across battery systems, charging, power electronics, AI-enabled mobility software, and advanced manufacturing. Matched by industry and academic partners for a total project value of $7.9 million, EVIO is expected to generate more than $30 million in economic activity. Industry partners will contribute $45,000 toward each $90,000 placement, enabling companies to scale innovations while providing researchers with competitive compensation, hands-on experience, and direct pathways into high-growth careers.
Leveraging artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies, the network will develop tailored technology plans for companies, accelerate commercialization, and connect firms with cutting-edge research and expertise to help scale the next generation of EV, battery innovation and mobility technologies in Ontario.
