As electric vehicles (EVs) become more common across Quebec and Canada, more homeowners are choosing to install EV chargers directly on their properties. Home charging not only provides unmatched convenience but also ensures faster charging times and long-term cost savings. If you’re considering making the switch, partnering with a specialist like Chicoine Électrique Inc. ensures your setup is professionally installed, future-ready, and completely safe.
While many EVs come with a standard Level 1 charger that plugs into a typical household outlet, this method is extremely slow — often taking more than 24 hours for a full charge. That’s why most homeowners opt for a Level 2 charging station, which requires a 240-volt outlet and professional installation to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Chicoine Électrique Inc. begins every EV charging project with an on-site evaluation. Their certified electricians assess your home’s current electrical capacity, determine the best location for the charging unit, and confirm that your panel can support the increased load. If necessary, they’ll upgrade your panel or install a dedicated circuit to prevent overload and ensure consistent charging.
One of the main benefits of working with professionals is that your charger will be properly wired, securely mounted, and connected to your home’s main system using approved materials and methods. DIY attempts or unqualified installations can result in overheating, inefficient charging, or even fire hazards — all risks that are fully avoidable when working with Chicoine Électrique Inc.
They also offer weatherproof solutions suitable for indoor garages or outdoor driveways. Their team ensures that the unit, cabling, and power supply are protected from snow, rain, and temperature extremes — all while maintaining aesthetics and accessibility. This means you can confidently charge your vehicle year-round, no matter the season.
Another often overlooked aspect of EV charging is smart connectivity. Chicoine Électrique Inc. installs chargers that can be integrated with mobile apps or home automation systems, allowing you to schedule charging times, track energy use, and even receive maintenance alerts. This is especially useful for taking advantage of off-peak electricity rates and monitoring your environmental impact.
In multi-family homes or duplexes, shared EV charging requires special consideration. Chicoine Électrique Inc. offers tailored solutions for these setups, ensuring equitable usage, proper metering, and secure installation in shared spaces. They also work with condo boards and building owners to create scalable EV charging solutions that meet current and future resident needs.
What truly sets Chicoine Électrique Inc. apart is their focus on safety and long-term reliability. Their installations meet all applicable building codes and EV charging regulations in Quebec.
