Level 2 EV charging

EV charger installation across the GTA.

A charger is only one part of the installation. Electrical Standard reviews the available capacity, charging requirements and route from the panel before recommending a dedicated circuit, managed-load option or service upgrade.

Common needs

The questions that decide the installation

Useful EV quotes depend on the electrical service and physical route—not just the charger logo on the box.

  • Is the home supplied by a 100A, 125A or 200A service?
  • What continuous charging current does the vehicle and charger support?
  • How far is the parking location from the electrical panel?
  • Is the garage attached, detached, underground or outdoors?
  • Is there panel space and sufficient calculated capacity?
  • Would load management avoid an unnecessary service upgrade?

What is included

EV charging scope

The final design is based on the equipment instructions, Canadian approvals and the Ontario Electrical Safety Code.

  • Panel, service and load-capacity review
  • Dedicated 240V circuit and correctly sized protection
  • Hardwired Level 2 charger or approved receptacle installation
  • EV energy-management and reduced-output options when appropriate
  • ESA notification and inspection coordination
  • Clear labelling, testing and homeowner handoff

Pricing and preparation

What affects
the price?

We confirm the scope and pricing structure before you authorize work. A diagnosis or site assessment may be needed before the full repair or installation can be quoted.

  • Distance and cable route from the panel to the parking space
  • Charger requirements, mounting location and indoor or outdoor installation
  • Available service capacity and any load-management equipment
  • Trenching, finished-wall access and ESA requirements

Before we speak: Send the charger model, photos of the closed panel and its labels, the parking location and approximate cable distance. A panel load review determines whether a service upgrade is actually needed.

Service questions

Useful answers
before you call.

Can I install a Level 2 charger on a 100A service?

Possibly. The answer depends on the calculated demand, existing electric loads, charger setting and available equipment options. A load review identifies whether a lower charging current, approved energy-management system or service upgrade is appropriate for your property.

Does an EV charger installation require an ESA permit?

Yes. ESA states that EV charger installations require an electrical notification before work starts. Electrical Standard coordinates the required notification and inspection as part of the agreed installation scope.

What photos help with an EV charger quote?

Send clear photos of the closed panel and visible service labels, charger label, proposed mounting location and route between them. Include an approximate distance and whether the garage is attached or detached. Never remove a panel cover to take a photo.
