Trickle-charging on a standard outlet gets old the first week you own an EV. A Level 2 electric vehicle charging station runs on a dedicated 240 V circuit and adds 30 to 50 km of range every hour, so most drivers wake up to a full battery. EZ Smart Electric is a licensed, ESA-registered Electrical Contractor serving the Greater Toronto Area, and we handle every step — panel check, ESA permit, wiring, mounting, inspection — so your charger is safe, code-compliant, and covered by your insurer from day one.
Every Level 2 install is a dedicated 240 V branch circuit sized to the charger’s rated continuous load. Under Ontario Electrical Safety Code Rule 86, the circuit must be sized for continuous duty and protected by the correct breaker — typically a 40 A breaker for a 7.2 kW unit or 60 A for an 11.5 kW one. Skip that math and you get nuisance trips, warm conductors, or a failed ESA inspection.
We size the conductor to your charger, the run length, and your existing panel capacity before we quote — no guessing, no surprises on inspection day.
Every hardwired EV charger installation in Ontario must be filed with the Electrical Safety Authority by a Licensed Electrical Contractor before work begins, and inspected after. EZ Smart Electric pulls the ESA notification, performs the work to OESC standards, and walks the inspector through the site. You get the signed Certificate of Inspection your insurer — and any future buyer — will want to see.
An older 100 A panel often cannot fit a 40 A EV load on top of the range, dryer, and A/C. We run the code-required load calculation instead of guessing, and tell you honestly whether your panel handles it or needs an upgrade to 200 A. A straightforward Level 2 install runs roughly $1,800 to $2,800 all-in across the GTA; pairing it with a 200 A panel upgrade costs more up front but sets your home up for a heat pump or a second EV later. See our EV charger installation service for the full breakdown.
Ready to stop hunting for public chargers? Tell us your vehicle, your preferred charger (or ask us to recommend one), and where you want it mounted. We will pull the ESA permit, run the wiring, mount the unit, and hand you the Certificate of Inspection when the inspector signs off.

A standard Level 2 install runs about $1,800 to $2,800 all-in across the GTA, including the charger, ESA permit, and inspection. Complex jobs — long conductor runs, exterior mounts, or a required 100 A to 200 A panel upgrade — can push the total to $4,500 to $8,500.
Yes. Every hardwired EV charger in Ontario must be filed with the Electrical Safety Authority by a Licensed Electrical Contractor before work begins, and inspected after. EZ Smart Electric handles both the ESA notification and the follow-up inspection.
Most straightforward installs finish in one day — usually 3 to 5 hours on site. If your panel needs upgrading first, plan on a second half-day and a separate ESA visit.
A 200 A panel almost always does. Older 100 A panels often cannot fit a 40 A EV load on top of existing appliances — we run the code-required load calculation before quoting so you know either way.
