Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?
Not always. While many older Halifax homes require a 200-amp upgrade to support fast charging, we often find creative load-sharing solutions to save you money.
How long does a Level 2 installation take?
Most residential installs are completed within 3 to 5 hours, depending on the distance between your panel and the garage or driveway.
