A home charging station that withstands extreme weather conditions — engineered for brutal winters and hot summers. Intuitive to use and powered by next-generation technology. It’s not just possible — it’s here. DEFA Power has officially arrived in Canada.
DEFA entered the EV charging space with the acquisition of Norway’s leading startup in 2017. Since then, the company has developed a complete portfolio of e-mobility solutions.
Drawing from deep experience in Norway — the world’s most mature EV market — DEFA has gained insights into the needs of users, installers, and infrastructure owners alike.
As consumer behaviour shifts between Level 3 fast charging and Level 2 home and destination charging, more than 90 per cent of all EV charging now takes place at home or at work*. In a demanding climate like Norway’s — much like Canada’s — user experience and all-weather reliability are critical. DEFA Power was built to meet those exact expectations.
Best in Test – Built to Last
As a five-time ‘best in test’ winner, DEFA Power is the Level 2 Home EV charger that has it all.
At the heart of this claim is a quality-assured production process with rigorous controls to ensure consistently high-quality products. DEFA Power is manufactured according to principles and methods from the automotive industry, ensuring precision and durability. DEFA backs up these claims with an industry leading five-year warranty.
Charging Has Never Truly Been Intuitive — Until Now
Designed with the user in mind, DEFA Power sets a new standard for user friendliness. With its built-in display, the charger offers a visual step-by-step charging experience — something that’s still surprisingly rare in the world of home charging. One end user, Henrik Mühlbradt in Norway, shares his experience:
“I’ve used other home chargers, and one of the things I appreciate most about DEFA Power is the user experience. Why don’t more chargers come with a display that shows charging status? It’s not always easy to interpret blinking LED lights.”
Made for extreme conditions – summer heat or winter freeze
It was important for DEFA to design a charging station that can deliver stable voltage to avoid derating and the loss of kW under extreme conditions; the wall bracket and charging unit are therefore designed to remove heat during charging. DEFA Power has been tested to maintain full performance between -40°C and 50°C
“As more Canadians start to make the transition to electric vehicles, questions are being raised as to whether charging infrastructure can stand up to our brutal Canadian winters. It’s comforting to see the lengths DEFA has gone to ensuring DEFA Power is up to the task in consideration of the similar climate conditions found in Norway,” says Ryan Jarvis, Country Manager, DEFA North America.
DEFA Power is certified according to international and local regulations, both in Europe and in Canada to ensure full compliance. It supports the latest communication protocol between charger and backend systems: OCPP 2.0.1 and is ready for V2X. As homes become active participants in the energy system, charging infrastructure must be reliable, scalable, and future-ready. Whatever the future brings, DEFA Power is ready.
Verified. Certified. Ready for What’s Next.
Partner Program – bringing profit and know-how to the Canadian EV industry
DEFA will launch a Partner Program in 2026, offering partners firsthand insight into EV charging with the opportunity to be at the forefront of EV charging development in Canada.
