The physical installation of a Level 2 EV charger is typically completed in a single day, but the full project timeline from booking to inspection is usually longer once permits and any needed panel work are factored in. Here is a realistic breakdown, from the licensed electricians at EZSMART, serving Toronto and the GTA.
A straightforward EV charger install, with the panel already having capacity and a reasonable distance to the charger location, typically takes hours of active work. This includes running new dedicated wiring from the panel to the charger location, mounting and connecting the charger, and testing operation.
From first call to fully inspected completion, most projects take one to a few weeks depending on permit and inspection scheduling.
Work should always be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with Electrical Safety Authority standards.
Can I use my new EV charger right after installation day?
Typically yes, once your electrician completes testing. The ESA inspection is a separate step to formally confirm compliance.
How far in advance should I book installation?
Booking a few weeks ahead is a reasonable guideline for straightforward projects, especially in busy seasons.
Do I need to be home during installation?
Yes, someone should be present for access and questions during the work.
