$1,000–$3,000 for a Level 2 setup, charger hardware not included
Dedicated 240V Line Wiring and Charger Mounting
Level 2 EV charging stations require a dedicated 240V line running directly from your breaker panel to the charger location. Our installation service costs $1,000–$3,000 (charger hardware not included) and encompasses wall mounting, conduit placement, device wiring, and safety testing. If your main panel lacks sufficient breaker spaces or physical capacity for a 50A breaker, our crew can perform an electrical panel repair and replacement to support your new charger reliably. We ensure neat cable routing and complete site clean-up on every job.
Home and Workplace Charging Program Rebate Details
Property owners can take advantage of provincial incentive options through the Home and Workplace Charging Program, which remains open with ongoing intake. Eligible applicants include homeowners and renters. Eligible homes are single-family detached dwellings, including those with a secondary suite, duplexes, triplexes and 4-plexes, side-by-side row homes, and mobile homes on a permanent foundation, each with a dedicated parking space and constructed at least 6 months before the install date. The programme covers 50 per cent of eligible costs back, or 75 per cent for Indigenous individuals. Maximum rebate amounts reach $350 for Level 2 chargers, or $750 for Indigenous individuals. Applicants must apply within 6 months of installation. If you require updated branch lines alongside your charger setup, view our wiring repair and replacement services.
EV Charger Installation Across Property Types
We provide Level 2 EV charging station installations across single-family homes, multi-family buildings, and commercial properties throughout the Oceanside region. Provincial regulations govern all vehicle charging equipment, and permits are legally required for EV charger installations in BC. Installation without a permit is considered non-compliant and may lead to enforcement action or issues with home insurance. In British Columbia, contractors apply and pay for the permit. Parksville Electric handles this application process completely for every installation type. If your building requires additional power before charger installation, you can learn about panel replacement and upgrade services to support your new equipment.
