CHARGE WHERE YOU LIVE & WORK

Make EV ownership simple.

For many EV owners, the most convenient place to charge is at home. A properly installed Level 2 charger can add substantially more range than a standard household outlet and lets you plug in when the vehicle is parked overnight.

For businesses and commercial properties, EV charging can support employees, customers, tenants and fleet vehicles while helping prepare the property for growing electric-vehicle adoption.

  • Convenient overnight home charging
  • Faster charging than Level 1
  • Dedicated electrical circuits
  • Residential and commercial installations
  • Fleet and workplace charging options
  • Electrical service and load assessment
CHARGING LEVELS

Which EV charger is right for you?

The best charger depends on your vehicle, daily driving distance, available electrical capacity and how quickly you need to replenish the battery.

1

Level 1

Level 1 uses a standard 120-volt outlet. NRCan estimates roughly 3–8 km of range per hour of charging. It can work for low daily mileage or plug-in hybrids, but it is the slowest option.

Best for: light driving, overnight charging and situations where a dedicated Level 2 circuit is not required.

2

Level 2

Level 2 uses 208/240-volt power and is the most practical dedicated charging solution for many homes and workplaces. NRCan estimates about 16–50 km of range per hour, depending on the vehicle and charger.

Best for: homes, workplaces, apartments, businesses and regular daily EV use.

⚡

Level 3 / DC Fast

DC fast charging supplies direct current at much higher power and is designed for rapid charging. It is normally used at public charging stations, highway corridors and commercial sites rather than typical homes.

Best for: public charging, fleet operations and locations requiring rapid vehicle turnaround.

Important: Charging speed is not determined by the charger alone. Vehicle battery size, the vehicle's maximum charging rate, battery temperature, state of charge and available electrical capacity all affect actual charging performance.
RESIDENTIAL EV CHARGING

Home charging designed around your electrical system

Electrical Assessment

We review the electrical service, panel capacity, existing loads and proposed charger before installation. This helps determine whether a dedicated circuit, load management or an electrical service upgrade is appropriate.

Level 2 Installation

We install the appropriate circuit, protection, wiring and EVSE equipment for the application, with the installation completed to applicable electrical requirements.

Future-Ready Planning

If you expect a second EV, solar PV, a heat pump or other major electrical loads, we can consider the broader electrical load when planning your charging installation.

COMMERCIAL EV CHARGING

Charging infrastructure for your business

Commercial EV charging can serve employees, customers, tenants and company vehicles. We can help plan charging around available electrical capacity, parking layout and expected usage.

Workplace Charging

Provide employees with convenient charging during the workday. Level 2 is often well suited to vehicles parked for several hours.

Customer & Tenant Charging

Add charging as an amenity for retail, hospitality, multi-unit residential and other properties where vehicles remain parked for meaningful periods.

Fleet Charging

Plan charging around vehicle schedules, operating hours and available electrical capacity. Multiple chargers may require load management or staged charging.

WHY INSTALL AN EV CHARGER?

Convenience, control and long-term value

✓

Charge at Home

A home charger can reduce dependence on public charging and make daily EV ownership more convenient.

$

Use Electricity Instead of Gasoline

EVs shift energy use from gasoline or diesel to electricity. The actual operating-cost difference depends on vehicle efficiency, electricity rates, fuel prices and driving habits.

Prepare for the Future

EV adoption is increasing in Nova Scotia, making charging infrastructure an increasingly useful feature for homes, workplaces and commercial properties.

Nova Scotia's 2024 climate-change progress report states that more than 5% of new vehicles purchased in the province in 2024 were zero-emission vehicles, up from 4.4% in 2023. In Q2 2026, Nova Scotia recorded 18,026 new vehicle registrations, with battery-electric and plug-in-hybrid registrations both increasing year over year. citeturn1search15turn1search1

THE CANADIAN CHARGING LANDSCAPE

EV charging is becoming a major part of electrical infrastructure

Natural Resources Canada projects substantial growth in Canadian EV charging demand. Its current analysis estimates that about 679,000 public charging ports could be required nationally by 2040, alongside millions of private charging ports. citeturn0search2

Level 2 is the workhorse

7.2 kW+

NRCan's current infrastructure modelling uses 7.2 kW as the average nameplate power for home Level 2 charging in its baseline assumptions. Actual charger output varies by equipment and vehicle. citeturn0search2

Home charging matters

16–50 km/hr

NRCan estimates this range of added driving range per hour for Level 2 charging. Actual results depend on the vehicle, battery, charger and conditions. citeturn0search6
