EV charger installation in Cambridge
Most EV charging happens at home, overnight. A properly installed Level 2 charger makes that automatic: plug in when you get home, leave with a full battery.
Included in an installation
- Assessment of your panel, service and parking spot
- A dedicated 240 volt circuit
- Conduit and fittings for the cable route
- Hardwiring of the charger, or a 14-50 outlet
- Outdoor-rated installation where the charger is exposed
- A load management device where capacity is limited
- ESA filing and inspection
- Testing with your vehicle
Have this ready when you call
- Your vehicle make and model
- The charger you own or want
- Whether you park in a garage, carport or driveway
- The size of your main breaker, if you know it
Older homes and chargers
Many houses in Preston, Galt and Hespeler were built long before anyone imagined charging a car at home, and a 100 amp or smaller service is common. That does not rule out a charger. A load calculation shows what the service can carry, and a load management device or a panel upgrade covers the gap when there is one.

Questions about EV charger installation
Do I need a Level 2 charger?
If you drive more than a short commute each day, yes. A standard outlet is too slow to refill most batteries overnight.
Can a charger be installed at a townhouse or condo?
Often, but it usually needs approval from the condo corporation and may involve running power from your unit's meter. An assessment shows what is possible.
Is there an inspection?
Yes. The new circuit is filed with the Electrical Safety Authority and inspected.
