Full service electric vehicle (EV) charger installations for homes and businesses
Wake up to a fully charged electric vehicle every morning by installing a home EV charger. With a 240V Level 2 Charger, you can drastically increase your charge rate compared to a standard 120V outlet, delivering 4 to 10 times faster charging speeds.
Whether you're commuting or embarking on longer trips, a Level 2 Charger ensures your EV is always ready to go. Installation costs typically range from $1,000 to $3,000, depending on the complexity of the setup and the size of the charger you choose, providing you with the convenience and reliability of charging at home.
Use EV chargers to enhance your property, cater to an exponentially expanding clientele, and sustainably grow your revenue.
Commercial EV chargers are perfect for:
The cost of commercial EV charger installations varies greatly depending on the cable path and size of charger.
Kuby will conduct a remote or on-site evaluation to gather site data and perform a load calculation to ensure code compliance. This essential step confirms your home’s electrical capacity, considering factors like square footage and major loads such as hot tubs, air conditioners, and electric water heaters.
Kuby Energy's team of certified electricians and skilled electrical professionals manage every step of your project—from obtaining permits and sourcing equipment to completing a safe, high-quality installation. We ensure a seamless process so you can focus on enjoying reliable, clean energy.
Enjoy emission-free transportation!
You can reach out to Kuby Energy any time if you have ongoing questions or concerns.
Charge times vary depending on your EV's battery capacity(kWh), acceptance rate (kW), and size of your EV charger (typically measured in amps or kW’s). The higher the volts and amps, the faster your electric vehicle will charge. A list of common electric vehicles and their charge specifications are shown below.
The maximum capacity you can install may be limited by Electrical Code requirements. This will be confirmed during our load calculation in the evaluation stage. This is a critical step to ensuring the EV charger is safe and code compliant for your given property.
Power (W) = Current (A) x Volts (V).
More current and/or volts will mean more power for your vehicle and shorter charge times. This is true up to the limiting acceptance rate of your specific vehicle. Batteries tend to charge slower from 80% to 100%than they do from 0% to 80%.
Level 1 chargers are standard 120V outlets, typically limited to 15A. These will provide the slowest charge times.
Level 2 chargers are 240V outlets with various amperages typically ranging from 20A to 80A. These are ideal for homes or businesses to charge any electric vehicle in a reasonable amount of time. Businesses can set up Level 2 chargers on a pay-per-use plan to earn revenue from the EV chargers.
Level 3 chargers are the fastest chargers, generally outputting 480V DC or greater at varying amperages depending on the manufacturer. Level 3 chargers are pieces of major electrical infrastructure and cannot be installed at any business. Level 3 chargers will require substantial involvement of electrical utility companies and increased budget.

There are two parts to getting your EV Charger. The charging unit and the installation of the wiring.
Charging units typically vary from $400 to $900CAD and can be purchased through Kuby Energy or directly from your EV manufacturer (such as Tesla, Chevrolet etc.).
The installation will depend on where you want the charger, how difficult the electrical routing is from your electrical panel to charging location and whether you need any electrical upgrades. Generally, EV charger wiring installations will cost $1,000 to $2,000.
Most people want the maximum amount of power to charge their vehicle. This requires putting in the highest amperage charger @ 240V.
The main limiting factor for installing EV Chargers will be your electrical panel's allowable ampacity. The Canadian Electrical Code has rules for how many loads can be placed within a home based on its square footage and primary/large loads such as Ranges, Air Conditioners, Electric Heaters, Hot Tubs etc. To determine your home's available ampacity, Kuby Energy will conduct a Load Calculation.
Many homes can put in a 20A or 30A charger with no upgrades, but many homes are at their existing amp limits with no EV charger. To get more ampacity, a Service Upgrade or an Electric Vehicle Management System will be required.
A service upgrade will mean reinstalling the electrical lines from the utility companies transformer to your main electrical panel (ex. going from a 100A main bkr to a 200A main bkr). Service upgrades will vary depending on whether you have an underground or overhead service and what size service you desire. Typical fees for this may be in the $2,000 to $8,000 range.
An EV Management System is a device that controls your EVcharging based on your live home energy demand. This will throttle the output to your EV charger if your home startsdrawing too much energy.
EV Management systems are typically more affordable thanService Upgrades, however, they may have lifestyle-limiting impacts and won'tprovide any extra ampacity for future electrical expansions. It is most oftenrecommended to install an EV Management system if you want a bigger EV charger.
