What Drives the Cost

These are the primary factors that influence the price of a Level 2 EV charger installation.

These are typical ranges only — every quote is based on your specific electrical setup, confirmed after review.

Wiring Distance

The distance from the electrical panel to the charger location is one of the biggest cost factors. Longer runs require more cable, conduit, and labour.

Attached vs Detached Garage

Detached garages typically cost more due to underground trenching, longer conduit runs, and sometimes a subpanel in the detached structure.

Trenching and Surface Finishing

Underground work, driveway crossings, and restoration of landscaping, concrete, or asphalt add to the overall project cost.

Panel and Service Capacity

Older or smaller services may require EVEMS/load management or a panel/service upgrade to safely support Level 2 charging.

Charger Model and Mounting

Different chargers have different electrical requirements and mounting conditions. Outdoor locations and harsh weather can affect hardware choices.

Permit and Inspection

All EV charger installations in Edmonton require an electrical permit and inspection. These fees are included in your quote.
