Fast, safe, and efficient charging for your electric vehicle at home or business
An EV charger (electric vehicle charger) is a device that supplies power to recharge the battery of an electric vehicle (EV). While EVs can technically plug into a standard wall outlet, dedicated EV chargers provide faster, safer, and more efficient charging.
The charger connects to your home or business’s electrical panel. Depending on the type, it uses either standard household power (120V) or higher-capacity circuits (240V or more).
The charger delivers electricity to your EV’s onboard charging system. The vehicle itself manages charging speed and battery protection.
Level 1 (120V): Uses a standard outlet, adds ~5-8 km of range per hour
Level 2 (240V): Dedicated EV charger, adds ~30-45 km of range per hour — ideal for homes and workplaces
DC Fast Charging: Public stations, adds up to 250+ km of range in about 30 minutes
Plugs into a regular wall outlet, no installation needed, but very slow.
Requires a 240V outlet or hardwired connection, installed by a licensed electrician.
Higher-capacity units designed for businesses, condos, or parking facilities.
Most homes in BC require a 200-amp service panel to support an EV charger, especially if you already use a heat pump or other high-demand appliances. If your panel is too small, an electrical service upgrade may be required.
Select a Level 2 charger from trusted brands (such as FLO, ChargePoint, Tesla, JuiceBox). Look for ENERGY STAR® certified models for efficiency.
A qualified electrician installs the charger, runs wiring, and ensures it meets BC Electrical Code and BC Hydro requirements. They will also handle permits and inspection.
In BC, rebates are often available through CleanBC and BC Hydro for home and workplace EV charger installations. Single-family homeowners may receive up to $350 per Level 2 charger, while multi-unit buildings and workplaces may qualify for higher rebates.
Once installed, the system is inspected by the city or authority having jurisdiction. The charger is then activated and ready for daily use.
