Load controller
The smart charging controller is optional.
It’s a management device that:
-
Distributes power based on demand
-
Optimizes energy consumption
-
Ensures the electrical network’s capacity is respected
01
Electrical Capacity Check
Allocate space for the new breaker
(if the electrical panel has enough room to add a new circuit)
Upgrade the main electrical service if necessary
(check whether the 100A or 200A panel can handle the additional load)
02
Choosing the Charging Station Location
Placement:
-
Easily accessible and close to the parking area
-
Protected from the elements (rain, snow, wind)
Mounting options:
-
Garage wall
-
Outdoor post
-
Ground-mounted pedestal
Key consideration:
-
Use a cable long enough to allow easy and flexible connection
INSTALLATION
03
Electrical Installation by a Master Electrician
A certified master electrician (licensed by the CMEQ) is required for the installation of a charging station.
Main installation steps:
-
Installation of a dedicated circuit breaker in the electrical panel
-
Routing of wiring to the chosen location
-
Mounting the station according to manufacturer guidelines
-
Final connection and full functionality test

Installation Cost
The cost of installing an EV charging station varies depending on several factors.
The two main elements that affect the price are:
-
The distance between the electrical panel and the charger location
-
The need to increase capacity if the panel is already full
Estimated cost range:
-
From $400 to $5000, depending on complexity (trenching, panel upgrades, long cable runs, etc.).

Having a 240V home charging station plays a key role in a smooth transition to electric driving.
In Quebec, various stakeholders — including the government, municipalities, and even some employers — support this shift.
Financial assistance programs are available to make the purchase and installation of a residential charger more accessible, regardless of building type.
Home charging station (1 to 4 units)
Financial support of $600 for purchase and installation.
Multi-unit buildings (5 units or more)
Financial support covering 50% of eligible installation costs, up to $5,000.
Business subsidy (for employees)
Additional financial support ranging from $100 to $500 may be combined with existing financial incentives.
Financial support for Installation
Financial support for Charging Station Installation
Installing a 240V charger at home helps make the switch to electric vehicles easier. In Quebec, several grant programs make this upgrade more affordable.
