EV Charger Installation
When to Install an EV Charger
A dedicated EV charger gives you safer, faster, and more reliable charging than a standard outlet ever could. Using extension cords or outdated circuits isn’t just inconvenient — it can overload your system, cause tripped breakers, or create serious electrical hazards.
At Emerald Electric, we install EV chargers the right way. Every setup is designed around your home’s electrical capacity, your vehicle’s requirements, and how often you drive. The result: safe, efficient charging you can count on every day.

EV Charging Options for Every Home and Business
Whether you're charging one vehicle at home or managing a commercial fleet, Emerald Electric installs safe, reliable EV charging solutions tailored to your space. We’ll help you choose the right level of charger based on your electrical system, driving habits, and long-term needs.
Level 1 EV Chargers
Best for: Light drivers or plug-in hybrids
Power: Standard 120-volt household outlet
Speed: Slow — typically 12–24 hours for a full charge
Level 1 charging works well for smaller daily ranges or occasional use. It’s the simplest and most budget-friendly option, requiring little to no electrical modification.
Level 2 EV Chargers
Best for: Most EV owners and Calgary homes
Power: Dedicated 240-volt circuit
Speed: 4–10 hours for a full charge, depending on the vehicle
Level 2 chargers are the most common choice for homeowners because they charge quickly and efficiently. We install dedicated, code-compliant circuits for safe, reliable overnight charging.
Level 3 EV Chargers (DC Fast Charging)
Best for: Commercial properties, fleets, and high-traffic areas
Power: High-capacity commercial electrical systems
Speed: Up to 80% charge in roughly 30–60 minutes
Level 3 chargers are designed for businesses and public charging environments where speed and uptime matter. We design and install systems that match your building's infrastructure and operational needs.
Not Sure What Your Home or Business Can Support?
You don’t have to decide on your own. During our free on-site assessment, we’ll look at your panel capacity, electrical load, and driving profile to recommend the right charger and the safest installation plan.
Electric Vehicle Energy Management Systems (EVEMS)
Safe, Smart Power Management for EV Charging
EV chargers draw a significant amount of power — often more than any other appliance in your home. If your system isn’t prepared for that demand, you may experience tripped breakers, overloads, or the need for a costly panel upgrade.
This is where an Electric Vehicle Energy Management System (EVEMS) can make all the difference.
An EVEMS monitors the amount of electricity your home is using and automatically adjusts EV charging when needed. It keeps your system safe, prevents overloads, and in many cases eliminates the need to upgrade your electrical panel.
It’s a practical, code-approved solution that helps your home support EV charging safely and efficiently.
Why homeowners choose EVEMS:
Prevents overloads and protects your electrical system
Often avoids the need for a full panel upgrade
Maintains electrical safety and Canadian Electrical Code compliance
Automatically balances household power and EV charging
Works seamlessly with most Level 2 EV chargers
Our licensed electricians will assess your home, determine whether an EVEMS is the right fit, and handle installation, setup, and testing. You get a safe, simple solution that supports your EV — without unnecessary upgrades.
