Charging that
fits your day.

Recharge overnight after longer drives and bring more of your charging home. Whether you already own a charger or want guidance comparing NACS and J1772 options, we match the setup to your vehicle and your home’s electrical supply.

Charging power

Level 1 may already cover your daily driving. Level 2 gives you more flexibility when you drive farther, plug in later or have less time at home.

The right charging rate fits the distance you drive and the time your car spends parked. A lower-output Level 2 setup may meet those needs within your existing electrical capacity. Actual charging power is limited by the vehicle, the charger's configured output and the power available to it.

Vehicle fit

Find the right connection for home charging. Search your vehicle and select its model year, or compare NACS (SAE J3400) and J1772.

We install and commission Tesla Wall Connector, Universal Wall Connector, FLO, ChargePoint, Grizzl-E, Wallbox and automaker-supplied stations. You can enquire before choosing a vehicle or charger.

Cable reach

The right position makes plugging in a comfortable part of your routine. We consider where you normally park, the position of your vehicle’s charge port and the cable’s usable reach. The plan also considers the wiring route, doors and walking space, with a convenient place to store the connector and cable when you are finished.

Hardwired or plug-in

A hardwired charger connects directly to its electrical circuit. A plug-in charger uses a compatible outlet. We consider the charger’s requirements, installation location and circuit protection when recommending the connection. An existing outlet is not automatically suitable: both the circuit and receptacle need assessment.

For plug-in installations, we use only heavy-duty outlets designed for EV charging, rather than standard appliance receptacles. Built for the sustained demands of longer charging sessions, they’re an important part of a safe, reliable installation.

Outdoor use

Charging can fit your driveway or carport as well as your garage. The charger must be rated for outdoor use and the temperatures it will experience. We consider exposure to rain and snow, where the connector will be stored, and how easily the cable can be handled in cold weather. The chosen equipment and location determine the installation details.

App features

Depending on the charger, an app can show charging status, track energy use or let you set a charging schedule. Features, connectivity and account requirements vary by model. Your vehicle may also have charging controls, so its schedule needs to work with the charger’s. App features alone do not establish household energy management; that requires compatible monitoring and controls.

YOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

From your panel
to your parking space.

We look beyond the number on your main breaker. A 100-amp service doesn’t automatically mean a costly utility upgrade—we run a Canadian Electrical Code load calculation and compare practical options, from a charging rate matched to your daily driving to compatible EV energy management (EVEMS).

Main breaker

The amperage marked on your main breaker—100 A or 200 A, for example—helps identify the size of your home’s electrical supply. That supply serves everything your home powers.

The main breaker, panel and incoming service conductors must be considered together.

Available capacity

Spare breaker spaces and spare electrical capacity are separate considerations. A panel can have room for another circuit while the supply serving it has limited capacity for an additional continuous load.

A Canadian Electrical Code (CEC Section 8) load calculation establishes a suitable charging rate and whether EV energy management (EVEMS) or electrical changes are needed—considering your home’s floor area, heating, cooling, major appliances and proposed charger.

EV circuit

Level 2 charging typically uses a dedicated 240 V circuit from your electrical panel. The breaker and wiring are sized for the charger’s configured output and the sustained demand of charging over several hours.

Charging current is typically lower than the breaker rating—for example, 32 A charging on a 40 A circuit.

An existing circuit may be suitable for reuse if its wiring, protection and connection meet the requirements of the installation.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT (EVEMS)

More from the power you have.

Charging that works around your home’s changing electrical demand.

How does it work?

Small sensors called current transformers (CTs) monitor real-time demand on your incoming electrical supply. An EV Energy Management System (EVEMS) automatically reduces or pauses charging when household load is high, then resumes charging when capacity is available.

Can it work with my existing supply?

Where suitable, EVEMS makes Level 2 charging possible within an existing 100-amp service without a utility upgrade. Panel condition, installation rules and your overnight charging window still require assessment.

What about smart chargers?

Some Level 2 chargers offer load-management controls that work with a compatible panel meter. Equipment approval, compatibility and installation requirements must be checked for the selected system.

DETACHED & BACK-LANE GARAGES

Detached garage.
Connected cleanly.

Many Edmonton detached garages were wired only for lighting and a block heater. We check whether your existing garage feeder or subpanel can support Level 2 charging—or plan a new underground supply from your house, with the exact route and scope in writing first.

Underground route

When a new underground feeder or garage subpanel is needed, we coordinate utility locates and plan the route around walkways, decks, fences and landscaping.

Burial protection meets Canadian Electrical Code requirements, and Revolt backfills the trench (landscaping and surface restoration are not included).

Questions
before you begin.

Which charger will work with my vehicle?

Your home charger doesn’t need to be the same brand as your vehicle. The connector must be compatible, and your vehicle’s onboard charger limits how much AC charging power it can accept. A higher-output wall charger won’t charge your vehicle beyond that limit.

You can enquire before choosing a charger—or an EV. If you already have a charger, include its make and model so we can check its suitability.

Will I have enough charge by morning?

For everyday driving, a properly matched Level 2 setup can replenish the energy you use during the day while you charge overnight. How much charge you add depends on your vehicle, available charging power, time plugged in and temperature.

The aim is enough charge for your next day. After a longer trip or in very cold weather, more charging time may be needed.

Can I charge outdoors through an Edmonton winter?

Yes. A garage isn’t essential, but the charger must be rated for outdoor use and the temperatures it will experience. Cold-weather cable flexibility, mounting position and protected connector storage all matter.

Cold weather can increase energy use and charging time. Where your vehicle supports it, preconditioning while plugged in can warm the battery and cabin before you leave.

How long will installation take, and what work will my home need?

Installation time depends on the wiring route, access and any additional electrical or trenching work. Before work begins, we explain the scope, expected time on site, any planned power interruption and the areas we’ll need to access.

Booking availability is confirmed separately, and installation is arranged after you approve the scope and quote.

What will charging add to my electricity bill?

Your cost depends on how much you drive, your vehicle’s energy use and your electricity plan. To estimate it, multiply the electricity used for home charging, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), by your applicable per-kWh charges, including variable delivery charges.

Charging losses and battery and cabin heating in winter also affect energy use. A higher-powered charger can deliver energy faster; its power rating alone doesn’t determine your monthly cost.

Can I install a Level 2 charger on a 100-amp service in Edmonton?

Often, yes. A load calculation helps establish whether a suitable charging rate or compatible energy management can work within your existing supply.
