Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to install an EV charger in Calgary?
Most residential Level 2 installs run between $800 and $1,800, including the permit and inspection. The price depends on how far the charger is from your panel, whether we install an outlet or hardwire, and if your panel needs any upgrades to add the circuit.
Do I need a permit to install an EV charger?
Yes. In Calgary, adding a 240V circuit for an EV charger requires an electrical permit and inspection. We handle the entire permit process for you — it's included in every install so your work is documented and code-compliant.
Can my existing panel handle a Level 2 charger?
Most modern 100A and 200A panels can, but it depends on your home's existing load. We perform a load calculation before quoting. If your panel is full or undersized, we'll walk you through options like a panel upgrade or a load-management device.
Should I get a hardwired charger or a plug-in (NEMA 14-50)?
Both are great. A NEMA 14-50 outlet lets you unplug and take the charger with you, while a hardwired unit is cleaner and supports higher amperage for faster charging. We'll recommend the right setup for your vehicle and garage.
How long does the installation take?
A straightforward install is usually done in 2–4 hours. The inspection is booked separately and typically happens within a few days. We coordinate everything so you're not chasing the city.
Do you install Tesla Wall Connectors and other brands?
Yes — Tesla, ChargePoint, Grizzl-E, Wallbox, Emporia, and most major brands. If you haven't bought a charger yet, we're happy to recommend a reliable unit that suits your needs.
