Installing an EV charger isn’t just plugging in a device. Proper install means:
- A dedicated 240V circuit sized for your specific charger
- Load calculation on your existing panel (some older homes need a panel upgrade first)
- Permits pulled with your municipality
- Proper conduit, wire gauge, and breaker
- GFCI protection and bonding
- Final inspection and sign-off
Get any of that wrong and you’re looking at tripped breakers, slow charging, or in the worst case a fire hazard. We do EV chargers properly, across central AB and SK.

What the install actually involves
Typical residential install (on an adequate 200A panel):
1. Site visit. we check your panel capacity, figure out the run from panel to charger location
2. Load calculation. modern EV chargers pull 30-48 amps continuously. Math has to work.
3. Permit pulled with your municipality
4. Install day. usually 3-6 hours. New dedicated circuit, breaker, conduit run, mount charger, test.
5. Inspection. electrical inspector signs off
6. First charge. we plug in your vehicle, confirm it charges correctly
If your panel is too small:
Upgrade from 100A → 200A first, then install charger. We can do both in sequence (1 day for panel, 1 day for charger) or in some cases same day.
If you’re running conduit to a detached garage or shop:
Longer install. Trenching or overhead run depending on access. 1-2 days typical.
What it costs
Every install is different, but ballpark:
- Simple home install (charger right beside panel, 200A service):** $900-1,500 + charger cost
- Home install with 20-40 ft run: $1,200-2,500 + charger
- Home install requiring panel upgrade first: $3,500-6,000 total (panel + charger install)
- Detached garage install (trenching): $2,500-5,000 depending on distance
- Commercial charger install: $2,500-8,000 per charger depending on networking, concrete work, and service capacity
Written quote after a site visit. We’ll tell you up front if your panel can handle it or if you need an upgrade first.
Government rebates (worth asking about)
- Alberta: No provincial EV charger rebate as of 2026
- Federal: Limited programs for commercial/multi-unit; worth checking NRCan zero-emission programs
- Utility rebates: Some local utilities offer small rebates. we can point you to what’s current when we quote
- Workplace charging: Some employer-installed chargers qualify for federal small business grants
We’re not tax accountants, but we know the current rebate landscape and can tell you what to ask your accountant about.
