EV Charger Installation

Home and workplace EV chargers wired by a licensed electrician, with the load calculation and ESA permit handled.

EV Charger Installation

A Level 2 EV charger draws 30 to 50 amps continuously. That is a serious load to add to an existing home, and nearly every install starts with the same question: can your panel actually handle it. We do the load calculation first, install the dedicated 240V circuit, mount and commission the charger, and pull the ESA permit so the work is documented. If your panel needs an upgrade before the charger goes in, we tell you straight and quote both together.

Often paired with panel upgrades, residential electrical, and generator installation. We coordinate the whole job under a single permit when it makes sense.

EV Charger Installation, work in progress

What’s included

  • On-site load calculation to confirm your panel can support the charger
  • Dedicated 240V circuit sized to the charger spec, typically 40A or 50A
  • NEMA 14-50 outlet or hardwired install, depending on your charger
  • Indoor garage, outdoor wall-mount, or pedestal installation
  • Conduit run through the garage, wall, or trenched outdoors as needed
  • Wi-Fi commissioning of smart chargers from most major brands
  • ESA permit pulled, inspection coordinated, certificate provided

When to call us

  • You just bought, or are about to buy, an EV and want to charge at home
  • You are tired of slow overnight charging on a standard 120V plug
  • Your dealer or charger manufacturer says you need a 240V circuit
  • You are renovating and want the EV circuit roughed in before drywall

How it works

  1. 01
    On-site assessment

    We review your existing panel, measure the run to where the charger is going, and confirm the load math.

  2. 02
    Clear quote

    You get one number covering the circuit, materials, permit, and labour. If a panel upgrade is needed first, that piece is quoted separately so you can decide.

  3. 03
    Install day

    Most Level 2 charger installs take a single half-day. We confirm placement, conduit routing, and breaker location with you before starting.

  4. 04
    ESA sign-off

    ESA inspects, the certificate is issued, and you have proper paperwork for your insurer and any future buyer.

FAQ

EV Charger Installation: questions we hear most.

Real answers from a licensed electrician. If you don’t see yours, call us and we’ll work through it.

01How much does a Level 2 EV charger installation cost?
Cost depends mainly on the distance from your panel to the charger location, whether the run is indoors or needs outdoor weatherproofing and trenching, and the charger itself. If your panel needs upgrading first, that is quoted separately. We confirm the load math and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
02Do I need to upgrade my panel for an EV charger?
Often, yes. A Level 2 charger draws 30 to 50 amps continuously, and many older homes are already close to capacity. The first step is always a load calculation. If you have 200-amp service, a dedicated circuit is usually all that is required.
03NEMA 14-50 outlet or hardwired install: which is better?
Both work. A NEMA 14-50 outlet gives you flexibility to unplug and move the charger, while hardwiring is required for some units at full output and removes a possible failure point. We help you decide based on your charger and where it is going.
04Can you install Tesla, ChargePoint, or another brand?
Yes. We install every major Level 2 home charger, including the Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, FLO, Grizzl-E, and others. The brand mostly determines whether it is plug-in or hardwired and where the Wi-Fi setup happens.
05Do you pull the ESA permit?
Always. EV charger circuits require an ESA permit in Ontario, and we pull it on every job. You receive the inspection certificate for your records and your insurer.
