  • Adding an EV charger to your home's electricity can be a lot on the system. Depending on the type of charger you have installed, it may require an upgrade to your home's electrical panel to accommodate the new load. EV chargers require either 120 volts or 240 volts to safely and efficiently charge your vehicle. If your panel is overtaxed by the charger, our service professionals will upgrade your panel.

  • For their home EV charger installation, Victoria homeowners will want to select the right and best type of charger for their needs. You can choose Level 1 and Level 2 chargers, but if you're unsure of what to choose for your home and EV, our electricians will provide you with a tailored charging solution. Level 2 EV chargers are the most popular choice amongst homeowners, but they do require an electrical panel upgrade in order to accommodate the higher electrical demand.

  • Once your panel has been inspected and upgraded, if necessary, and you've chosen the type of charger to be installed, and the permits have been obtained, we can begin the EV charger installation. Victoria, BC electricians on our team have years of experience in installing various types of electric vehicle chargers, ensuring that they meet all local regulations and safety standards.

FAQs About EV Charger Installation: Victoria, BC

  • There are two options available for residential electric vehicle (EV) charger installation. Victoria homeowners can either choose a Level 1 charger (120V) or a Level 2 charger (240V). Many homeowners are often torn about which one to choose for their home's system and their EV, so let's break down what both of them offer.

    Level 1 chargers operate on a standard household 120-volt outlet. This voltage is the same as that used for typical household appliances and items, such as a toaster and a lamp. Since these chargers have a lower electrical demand than Level 2s, you are unlikely to need a panel upgrade. Because they have less charging demand, it means they have less charging power. Level 1s add about 8 km of range per hour of charging. They take about 12 to 20 hours to fully charge the battery on an EV, making it important to plug your vehicle overnight. If you don't use your vehicle frequently and only drive short distances, a Level 1 EV charger may be sufficient for your needs.

    Level 2 EV chargers are, however, the most popular choice for EV charger installation. Victoria, BC residents tend to gravitate to this charging solution because it has approximately 30 km of range per hour. They take 6 to 14 hours to fully charge an EV's battery, so if you need quicker charging times, a Level 2 will be more suitable for your needs. Level 2s need a dedicated 240V circuit, which is the same as what your oven or dryer is connected to. If you're opting for a Level 2 charger, our electricians will likely have to upgrade your electrical system and add an additional circuit.
