EV Charger Installation in Oakville
EV chargers are the job we do most in Oakville. Most installs are finished in a day, with the ESA permit included.
How Oakville installs usually go
The simple one. A 200A house, the panel on the garage wall or just below it, a free space for a 2-pole breaker. That is a new circuit, the charger on the wall and the permit, from $499 plus $199 for ESA.
The full panel. Common in the Glen Abbey, River Oaks and Falgarwood houses whose 100A panels were filled years ago. A sub-panel ($999–$1,199) often makes room without touching the service, and that is what several of our Oakville chargers needed.
The service that cannot take it. If the load calculation says no, the charger waits for a 200A upgrade. We have done that order of work in Oakville more than once: upgrade first, charger the same visit. Done together, the whole job is 10% off.
Two cars, one garage
A second EV does not always mean a second big circuit. An energy management system (EVEMS, $1,399–$1,699) watches the house load and slows the chargers when the dryer and the oven are on, so two cars can share capacity the house already has. It is often cheaper than an upgrade, and ESA accepts it in the load calculation.
Chargers we put in
Most of our Oakville installs have been Tesla Wall Connectors. We also install ChargePoint, Grizzl-E, Emporia, and a NEMA 14-50 outlet if you would rather plug in a portable charger. If you have not bought one yet, ask first: the right amperage depends on your panel, not the car.
Oakville Hydro, if the service has to change
A charger on its own never involves the utility. A service upgrade does: Oakville Hydro has to cut the power and reconnect it after ESA has inspected. We send them the request and book the day. If they charge anything for it, we tell you at the quote.
What it costs
From $499, plus $199 for the ESA permit and inspection. The estimator asks about your panel, garage and cable run and gives you your own number, not a range. Full EV price list.
