A Level 2 charger is the difference between a full battery every morning and waiting all day on a standard outlet. It runs on a 240-volt circuit, the same kind of power as an electric dryer or range, and charges several times faster than the Level 1 cord that comes with the car. The catch is that it needs a dedicated circuit and enough capacity in your panel to support it.

That's where a lot of DIY installs go wrong. We check your panel first, confirm it can handle the added load, and if it can't, we'll talk to you about a panel or service upgrade. Then we run the circuit, mount and wire the charger, pull the permit and have it inspected, so it's safe and done right the first time.

What to sort out before you install

Most EV charger installs come down to a few practical questions. We'll help you work through:

You just bought an EV

A Level 2 charger at home is the single biggest quality-of-life upgrade for a new EV owner.

Level 1 is too slow

The cord that comes with the car can take all day. Level 2 charges several times faster on a proper circuit.

Your panel might be full

A charger needs a dedicated circuit and spare capacity. We check before we install, no surprises.

Garage or driveway

We'll place and weatherproof the charger for where you actually park, indoors or out.

Hardwired or plug-in

We'll advise whether to hardwire the unit or install a dedicated outlet, based on your charger and setup.

Workplace or multi-unit

Adding charging for staff, tenants or fleet vehicles has its own considerations, and we handle those too.

How we install your charger

From the first call to final sign-off, we keep it straightforward and keep you informed:

Panel & load check

We confirm your panel has room and capacity for the charger, and flag an upgrade only if it's genuinely needed.

Permit

We pull the electrical permit so the install is inspected and on the record, which matters for insurance and resale.

Install & mount

We run the dedicated circuit, mount the charger where you park, and wire it cleanly, indoors or out.

Test & hand over

We test the charger, confirm it's charging properly and make sure you're comfortable using it.

Frequently asked questions

Will my panel handle an EV charger?

Some can, some can't. A Level 2 charger is a big continuous load, so it needs a dedicated circuit and spare capacity. We check your panel before we install, and if there isn't room, we'll walk you through a panel or service upgrade rather than overloading it.

How much faster is Level 2 than the cord that came with my car?

Considerably. The Level 1 cord runs on a standard outlet and can take most of a day to add meaningful range. A Level 2 charger on a 240-volt circuit charges several times faster, which is usually a full battery overnight.

Should the charger be hardwired or plugged in?

Both are valid. A dedicated outlet lets you unplug and take a portable charger with you, while hardwiring is clean and permanent and sometimes required for certain units or outdoor installs. We'll recommend the right approach for your charger and location.

Do EV charger installs need a permit?

Yes. Adding a 240-volt charging circuit requires an electrical permit and inspection in Alberta. We handle that for you, which also protects you on insurance and when you sell the home.

Do you install a specific brand of charger?

We can install most common Level 2 chargers. If you've already bought one, we'll install it. If you haven't, we can point you toward reliable options that suit your vehicle and setup.
