Important Considerations for EV Charger Installation

Electrical Capacity

Before installing an EV charger, we assess your home’s electrical capacity. Most Level 2 chargers require a dedicated 40-amp circuit. If your electrical panel doesn’t have sufficient capacity, we can perform necessary upgrades to accommodate your charging needs.

Installation Location

The ideal location for your EV charger depends on where you park your vehicle and the proximity to your electrical panel. We help determine the optimal placement that balances convenience, cable management, and installation costs while ensuring protection from the elements.

Smart Charging Features

Modern EV chargers offer smart features like scheduled charging, energy monitoring, and remote control via smartphone apps. We can recommend and install chargers with features that match your specific needs and help you take advantage of off-peak electricity rates.

Frequently Asked Questions About EV Charger Installation

How long does EV charger installation take?

For standard residential installations, we typically complete the work in 2-4 hours. More complex installations that require panel upgrades or extensive wiring may take a full day. Commercial installations with multiple charging stations may require several days depending on the scope.

How much does it cost to install an EV charger?

Installation costs vary based on several factors, including the type of charger, your electrical system’s current capacity, the distance from your panel to the installation location, and whether any upgrades are needed. We provide detailed, transparent quotes after conducting a site assessment. Call us at 778-900-1004 for a personalized estimate.

Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel for an EV charger?

Not necessarily. Many homes have sufficient electrical capacity to accommodate a Level 2 charger. During our site assessment, we evaluate your current electrical panel and load to determine if an upgrade is needed. If your panel is already near capacity, we may recommend an upgrade or the installation of load management systems.

Are there any rebates available for EV charger installation?

Yes, there are often provincial and federal rebates available for EV charger installations in British Columbia. Our team stays current on available incentives and can help you understand which ones you may qualify for. These rebates can significantly reduce your installation costs.
