We label circuits, tighten terminations to torque standards, and test grounding and bonding, delivering a safe, compliant upgrade.
Electric Vehicle Charger Installation and Circuit Planning
You begin by verifying your EV charger's load requirements and how they affect your home's demand profile. Next, you verify panel capacity and breaker space to ensure a dedicated circuit meets Code without overloading the system. Finally, you acquire required permits and check available Toronto and Ontario rebates before installation to ensure compliance and minimize expenses.
Load Assessment Basics
Why start an EV charger project without first establishing if your service can handle it? Begin with a clear load assessment. List all major appliances, HVAC, water heating, lighting, and typical plug loads. Document nameplate ratings, breaker sizes, and expected run times. Use demand diversity to reflect realistic, non-simultaneous usage, then calculate peak and typical loads in amps at 240V and 120V. Analyze circuit balancing across phases to maintain currents even, reduce neutral stress, and minimize voltage drop.
Map the EV charger's continuous load at 125% of its specification per code. Assess when charging will take place and how it overlaps with heating, cooking, and laundry. Consider future additions. Document findings, assumptions, and safety margins. If your results approach limits, revise schedules or lower charger capacity before continuing.
Panel Capacity Assessments
While your load assessment establishes demand, check the panel can safely deliver it. Start by confirming the main breaker rating and the panel's busbar ampacity; your EV circuit shouldn't exceed these limits. Check available breaker spaces and proper breaker spacing to stop overheating and nuisance trips. Measure actual load with a clamp meter under typical household conditions, then compare to calculated demand to establish headroom.
Check conductor gauges, terminations, and torque values. Look for heat discoloration, corrosion, or brittle insulation-indicators indicating the panel's service life is reaching its limit. Confirm that grounding and bonding remain intact, and AFCI/GFCI needs don't surpass available capacity. If capacity or space is limited, consider a subpanel or a service upgrade. Document findings before finalizing an EV charger circuit size and placement.
Permitting and Rebate Information
Prior to buying an EV charger or running wire, check local permitting requirements and rebate eligibility to eliminate rework and delays. Toronto and most GTA municipalities require an electrical permit for new circuits, load management devices, and service upgrades. Request your electrician to submit drawings, specify breaker size, wire gauge, GFCI needs, and mounting location to streamline approval.
Review permit timelines beforehand; some jurisdictions complete simple residential EV circuits in several days, while service upgrades might need weeks. Schedule inspections before closing walls or pouring concrete. Maintain receipts, model numbers, photos, and inspection reports to verify rebate eligibility.
Check utility, municipal, federal, and provincial incentives. Numerous programs demand licensed installation, ESA inspection, and approved equipment lists. Time your purchase to coincide with funding windows and first-come programs.
