What We Install
We specialize in Level 2 EV charging solutions designed for residential properties. A Level 2 charger uses a 240V, 30-60A circuit, typically delivering 7-11kW of power, which adds about 40-60km of range per hour of charging.
Hardwired & Plug-In
We install both hardwired units (for maximum charging speed and weather resistance) and NEMA 14-50 plug-in receptacles. Hardwired installations are highly recommended for outdoor usage and for circuits exceeding 40A.
Hardware Agnostic
We install all major EV charger brands including Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, FLO Home, Emporia, Grizzl-E, and Autel. We ensure the equipment is properly matched to your vehicle's capabilities.
NACS & J1772 Standards
Whether your vehicle uses the standard J1772 connector or the North American Charging Standard (NACS / Tesla style), we can install the appropriate hardware to suit your current and future needs.
Who This Service Is For
We provide tailored EV charging solutions for various residential setups and customer needs across the Capital Region.
- Homeowners with EVs: Whether you just purchased a new EV, have an existing vehicle, or are planning a future purchase.
- Any Garage Type: Installations for attached garages, detached garages, carports, and outdoor driveway mounting.
- Limited Panel Capacity: Homeowners who have been told their panel cannot support a charger. We assess for EVEMS solutions to avoid panel upgrades when possible.
- EV Readiness: Property managers or builders preparing homes to be EV-ready for future tenants or buyers.
Electrical Capacity Assessment
Many Edmonton homes have 100A electrical services, which can make adding an EV charger challenging. We provide a complete load assessment to determine the safest and most cost-effective path forward.
Load Calculations
We perform Canadian Electrical Code (CEC 2024) Section 8 load calculations in plain language. This tells us exactly how much spare capacity your electrical panel has before overloading the main breaker.
EVEMS (Load Management)
If your panel is near capacity, an Electric Vehicle Energy Management System (EVEMS) like a DCC-9 can be installed. This smart device pauses charging when your home's energy usage is high, acting as an alternative to a full panel upgrade.
Panel Upgrades
When an EVEMS isn't suitable, or if your electrical panel is outdated and unsafe, a panel upgrade is necessary. We handle full service upgrades to safely support your EV charger and future electrical needs.
Permits and Inspection
Safety and compliance are our top priorities. "The City of Edmonton states that an electrical permit is required to install, alter, or add to an electrical system, including vehicle charging stations."
We ensure all installations are strictly up to the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC 2024). As a licensed journeyman electrician, Revolt Electric handles the entire permitting process on your behalf.
- The City of Edmonton requires an electrical permit for EV charger installations. We pull the permit before any work begins.
- Revolt Electric performs the work safely and cleanly.
- We coordinate the final City inspection to ensure your system is fully certified and compliant.
Permit requirements may differ in surrounding municipalities (Strathcona County, St. Albert, Leduc, etc.). Revolt Electric handles the permitting for each jurisdiction.
