Charging done right

Charge up to 8× faster

A Level 2 charger adds roughly 40–60 km of range per hour — a full battery overnight, every night.

Permits and inspection handled

We file the ESA permit, meet Ontario Electrical Safety Code, and hand you the inspection paperwork.

Panel and load check included

Every quote starts with your electrical service and panel capacity, so there are no surprises on install day.

Any charger, any vehicle

Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, FLO, Grizzl-E and more — supplied by you or sourced by us.

What affects the price

Every home is different, so we quote from real details instead of a one-size-fits-all number. These are the questions our quote form asks — five answers get you an accurate price:

  • Your existing service size (100 amp vs 200 amp)
  • Where your panel is relative to where you park
  • The cable run distance and how it needs to be routed
  • Whether your panel has space or needs an upgrade
  • The charger model and its amperage

FAQ

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

Not always. Many 100-amp homes can support a Level 2 charger after a load calculation, sometimes with a load-management device. We check this as part of every quote — before any work starts.

How long does installation take?

Most straightforward installations are done in half a day. Longer cable runs or a panel upgrade can extend that to a full day.

Is the installation inspected?

Yes. EV charger circuits in Ontario require an ESA permit and inspection — we file it, meet the code, and give you the paperwork.

Can you install a charger I already bought?

Absolutely. Bring any UL/cUL-listed charger and we will install it — or we can recommend and source one sized to your vehicle and panel.
