EV Chargers
What’s Right for Your Home?ght for Your Home?
The right EV charging setup depends on two things:
1. Your home’s electrical capacity
2. The charger level that fits your driving habits
Here’s a breakdown of the 3 EV charging levels, and what we offer:
Level 1 Charging (Standard Outlet)
- Speed: ❌ Very slow – adds about 5–8 km per hour.
- Setup: Plugs into a basic 120V outlet (15-amp)
- Best For: Drivers who commute short distances (under 50 km per week⚠️
Not recommended for long-term or daily EV use
Level 2 Charging (NEMA 14- 50 or Wall-Mounted)
- Speed: ✅ Fast — adds up to 30–50 km per hour
- Setup: Requires a 240V circuit, installed by a licensed electrician
- Options: NEMA 14-50 plug — budget-friendly and EV-compatible Hardwired wall charger — sleek, fast, and clean install
- Best For: Daily drivers who want overnight, reliable charging at home
EVEMS (EV Energy Management Systems)
- Purpose: Allows charging on 100A panels without full service upgrade
- How It Works: Automatically balances load between your EV and other major appliances (e.g., hot tubs, AC)
- Best For: Homes that want Level 2 charging without upgrading to 200A Service
Level 3 Charging (DC Fast Charging)
- Speed: Extremely fast – 0% to 80% in 30 minutes
- Power Supply: Requires industrial infrastructure — ❌ not suitable for homes
- Use Case: Found in public charging stations, highways, and commercial lots
Our Recommendation
For most Calgary homeowners, Level 2 charging is the best combination of speed, safety, and affordability.
If you have a 100 amp panel, we’ll assess your load and recommend EVEMS if it makes sense — no upselling, no guesswork.
