EV chargers are an explosive market in the electrical field. With so many options and variables getting a quote can seem like an exhausting prospect. So let’s get down to it. What will an EV charger installation at my home cost me? Answer – $1260 including GST. Now that is the kind of straightforward answer I like to get from an installation company.
But what is included in that price? What are the extras? Where are the hidden fees? Aren’t there always hidden fees? Well, let’s shed a little light on the subject (pun intended).
For $1260 Copper Mountain Electric Ltd will install a customer-supplied EV charger including the following:
- 30 to 50 amp breaker
- Up to 3 meters of 8/3 teck cable
- Teck connectors
- Straps
- Permit Fee
Should you want us to supply an EV charger from one of our trusted partners we recommend Flo EV Chargers. These units are made in Canada and come in two residential options:
- Flo Home G5 $1145 + GST
- Flo Home X5 Smart $1445 + GST
These units are readily available and are already relied upon by countless EV vehicle owners across the country. The Vancouver area has utilized these charging stations for some time and built up quite an infrastructure. There is even a handy map available through BC Hydro showing the numerous Flo stations available to the public.
The Flo G5 and X5 both offer the same great rapid charging rate. The X5 comes with Smart technology enabling it to link up to your phone for the added convenience of being able to remotely check your charging status and enable charging schedules so you can take advantage of lower Hydro rates in the evening. After all, lower commuting fees is what EV vehicles are all about!
Our team can install these units in both wet and dry locations so you can have a range of installation locations for whatever fits your home.
Now about those hidden fees, you knew they were coming. Those little extras installers don’t tell you about so they can say things like, “Well by the way, if you want the charger to work on weekends, or when it rains, or on any day ending in the letter Y it’s actually going to need this little super secret chip. Oh, you want that? No problem! That’ll be an extra thousand dollars.” (That’s right, I’ve heard that one too) Well here is the good news, we have Zero hidden fees. Not a one. The price you saw at the top of this article includes the items listed and complete installation. If you need an EV charger provided that price is listed above as well. That’s it.
EV charger installation doesn’t have to be complicated. Here at Copper Mountain Electric Ltd, we want our clients to get the answers they need without all the additional fluff of a sales pitch. You know what you need, we know how to build it and together we can make it happen.
