EV Charging Services

Our process begins with a detailed evaluation of your property’s electrical capacity and charger requirements. After reviewing the installation location and your vehicle’s charging needs, we provide a transparent estimate. Once approved, our licensed electricians complete the installation, secure required permits, and perform thorough testing to ensure safe and reliable operation.

Every EV comes with a Level 1 cord that plugs into a standard 120V outlet. It works, but it’s slow — roughly 5 to 8 km of range per hour, which can mean 40+ hours for a full charge. For most households that’s not practical.

A Level 2 charger runs on a 240V dedicated circuit — the same type that powers an electric range or dryer — and adds 30 to 50km of range per hour. That’s a full overnight charge for nearly any vehicle. For the overwhelming majority of Calgary EV owners, Level 2 is the right choice, and it’s what we install most. 

DC Fast Chargers are designed for commercial locations, fleets, and public charging networks where vehicles need rapid charging in a short amount of time.

Pricing depends on several factors, including charger model, distance from the electrical panel, available panel capacity, and any upgrades required. Homes with sufficient electrical capacity generally have lower installation costs than properties requiring additional electrical work.

This is the first question we answer on every job, because it determines what your install actually requires.

A typical Level 2 charger needs a 42-amp continuous load on a 50-amp breaker. On a 100-amp panel — common in older Calgary neighbourhoods — that’s more than half your available capacity, so it depends on what else is already connected. Larger homes and newer builds often have 200-amp service with plenty of room.

We perform a proper electrical load calculation before quoting. You’ll get a clear answer on one of three paths:

• Your panel has room — we install the charger on a new dedicated circuit.
• Your panel is tight, but an upgrade isn’t necessary — we install an Electric Vehicle Energy Management System.
• You need more capacity — we’ll scope a panel upgrade and handle it in the same visit to save on permit and labour costs.

EV chargers can be installed in garages, carports, driveways, underground facilities, or commercial lots, depending on your electrical infrastructure. For condos, installation is available through coordination with building management, though strata properties typically require prior strata approval.

Yes. The City of Calgary requires an electrical permit for every Level 2 EV charger installation, and the work must pass inspection by an Alberta Safety Codes Officer before the charger is energized. Alberta also requires a licensed electrician for any 240V circuit installation — this isn’t a DIY job. We coordinate the permitting process and arrange inspections as part of our service.
