Installation of your electric charging station

Thinking of buying an electric car? Would you like to upgrade from a Level 1 to a Level 2 charging station?

More and more electric cars are on the road in Quebec. In addition to government subsidies, there are now many public electric charging stations on the “circuit électrique au Québec”.

If you have or are thinking of buying an electric car, it is essential to have a fast-charging station at home or at work. A 240-volt fast charger for your car will give you more autonomy.

All electrical work in Quebec, including the installation of an electric charging station, must be done by a master electrician. This person must be licensed by the Régie du bâtiment du Québec.

To install a 240-volt circuit, your electrical panel must have sufficient capacity. It is therefore necessary to ensure that it is appropriate and safe.

This may result in additional work if it is not the case. This will be verified during the inspection of your property or business by one of our electricians. So before doing the work, he will;

• Confirm with you the level of charging to be chosen according to your needs and what type of charging stations are offered according to your needs;
• Calculate the electrical load of your input to determine if the remaining energy is sufficient;
• Calculate the power of the electrical source and the voltage drop;
• If the power of the circuit is insufficient, he will suggest possible options to supply your charging station;
• Check with you the location of the charging station and choose the right size of wiring.

We suggest that you have the charging station installed before you purchase your electric vehicle.

When installing a 240-volt charging station, it is important that the quality of the work is to be done without a hitch. Because if the connection of your charging station is not well installed, it can cause a lot of problems. These are very sensitive and must be installed in a methodical manner to avoid problems during the charging of the vehicle.

The installation must be done according to the rules and the standards of the manufacturers. In short, an installation done by an electrician from CM Électrique will give you that peace of mind.

You can purchase your own charging station online or from a car dealer and contact us afterwards.

However, we still recommend that you contact us if possible before purchasing your charging station. You will then have the opportunity to purchase your charging station from us.

For example, if you buy your terminal on the internet and it fails. Even if your terminal is still under warranty, you will have to pay a master electrician to dismantle it before returning it to the manufacturer.
