Papillons Announces Canada’s First Zero-Emission Show!

Steve Dumas plays for Papillons

Montreal, May 8 2025 – Papillons Infrastructure Nature, the Montreal-based company and proud operator of the IGA EcoCharge network, is excited to unveil a groundbreaking performance at the 2025 EV Charging Expo in Toronto.

As official partner of this year’s Food Court, Papillons will host an exclusive cocktail event on May 14 featuring Canada’s very first zero-emission live show — entirely powered by an electric vehicle. Renowned Montreal artist Steve DUMAS will perform an original piece composed specifically for the event, on a stage powered directly by Papillons’ EV Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck.

This unique show marks the official launch of ECHO, Papillons’ new event-driven sister company dedicated to powering art shows and events with clean energy and never before possible flexibility. With ECHO, Papillons extends its mission beyond EV infrastructure to promote sustainable entertainment across Quebec and beyond.

During the event, the company will also reveal its new brand identity, the result of months of strategic work and creative development. Papillons Infrastructure Nature continues to innovate at the crossroads of green technology, culture, and community — and this is just the beginning.

“With ECHO, we want to show that culture, innovation, and electrification can go hand in hand. Powering an entire stage with an electric vehicle is more than a symbol, it’s a new way of thinking about events and positive energy.” — Pierre Lussier, President and CEO of Papillons Infrastructure Nature.
