Baka Mobile is honoured to win the City of Toronto’s Live Green Award for Toronto’s Greenest Corporation
May 30, 2014 – TORONTO
Live Green Toronto announced its annual award winners on Friday May 30, 2014, with the Corporate Award going to Baka Mobile for its dramatic reduction of their CO2 emissions.
In 2012, Baka Mobile took a giant leap in its carbon footprint reduction through the installation of a first of its kind solar charging station in North America. Furthermore, it converted 60 percent of its fleet to extended range electric vehicles. Baka’s Solar Charging station has the capacity to charge up to 8 vehicles under its canopy and generates enough electricity for 160,000 EV kilometres per year. Baka’s solar charging station is open to the public and with its convenient location (just off the 427 at Rathburn Road) it’s easy for local and travelling EV car owners to stop for a free charge. The additional benefit is any unused energy is fed back to the grid. Baka also has an assistance program to help their employee’s transition into EV cars.
