EV Charger Installation Brantford, ON
Whether you’ve just purchased an electric vehicle, or EV, or are considering one for your own personal use, or if you manage an office or commercial site with a parking lot, you should consider the potential benefits of EV charger installation.
Having an EV charger will help you get the most out of your investment in your fully electric or hybrid vehicle. As the manager of a commercial plaza, having an EV charger for your customers can encourage them to patronize your business or the businesses on your property. Or, as a manager of an office, an EV charger makes the commute of your team easier and their time at the office more enjoyable. At a time when many businesses are struggling to get employees back to on-site work, EV chargers could certainly sweeten the deal.

How Much Does It Cost To Install An EV Charging Station?
There is no standardized cost because installation depends on the setting. The cost of installing a residential EV charging station can be quite low. The basic unit costs about $700, which many find a reasonable price to pay to ensure their EV is always sufficiently charged. The charger consists of a simple box with a socket, a meter, and a standard electrical outlet. The home EV charger and the installation cost range from $1,000 to $5,000.
The wiring is actually the biggest cost. The box needs to be wired to the grid properly, and that’s not always simple. If we have to upgrade your electrical service and/or put in new wiring, the overall cost can increase greatly, from $2,000 to $10,000 depending on what you already have and how difficult it is to install the EVSE.
The other major expense in installing an electric vehicle charging station is labour, which can vary from $1,500 to $5,000 depending on what work is required. Labour-intensive work and the need for city permits and inspections, along with trenching services, all increase the overall cost. The best time to install an EV charger station is when building a new home, repaving, or remodeling a commercial or industrial property because there’s little extra infrastructure to get in the way and you can plan for a future that’s more EV-intensive.
