Home EV Charger Installation in Greater Vancouver
Pacific Total Electric provides professional Level 2 EV charger installation across Greater Vancouver, including electrical assessments, permits, and inspections.
Why Install a Level 2 Charger at Home?
A Level 2 charger uses a dedicated 240V circuit and typically charges an electric vehicle much faster than a standard Level 1 household outlet. Actual charging speed depends on the vehicle, charger, circuit and electrical capacity.
Charge at Home
Start the day with the range you need, without relying exclusively on public charging stations.
Convenient Scheduling
Compatible smart chargers can schedule charging sessions around your routine.
A Properly Designed Circuit
A site assessment helps determine safe equipment placement and electrical capacity.

Will I Need a Panel Upgrade for an EV Charger?
Not necessarily. An electrical load calculation helps determine whether your existing service can support EV charging. In some cases, a compliant EV energy management system can manage demand without a full service upgrade. If additional capacity is needed, PTE can discuss an electrical panel or service upgrade.

How Much Does EV Charger Installation Cost in BC?
Installation costs vary with charger type, electrical panel capacity, the distance between the panel and parking location, cable routing, and any additional electrical work. We assess your setup and provide a project-specific quote rather than assuming every installation costs the same.
Are There EV Charger Rebates in BC?
Provincial and utility incentive programs may be available for eligible home charging installations. Funding, maximum rebate amounts, product eligibility and application deadlines can change. Check the current program requirements before purchasing a charger or submitting an application.
