EV Charging Installation, York Region

Electric vehicles (EVs) are here to stay—and if you’ve already joined the movement (or are planning to), then installing your own EV charger is the next essential step.

At Applied Electrical, we specialize in safe, efficient EV charger installations for homes, businesses, and multi-unit properties across the GTA. Whether you’re looking to top up your battery overnight or support tenants and employees with fast, convenient charging, we offer complete, customized solutions that meet your needs today and into the future.

Why You Need a Dedicated EV Charger

Most EVs come with a basic charging cable, but plugging into a standard wall outlet (Level 1 charging) is painfully slow—adding just 5–8 km of range per hour. That might work in a pinch, but it won’t keep up with daily driving.

Level 2 chargers, on the other hand, can add up to 40–60 km of range per hour, depending on your vehicle. They’re the go-to for everyday charging and are ideal for homes, workplaces, and shared parking areas. Installing a Level 2 charger where you live means no more waiting at public stations or adjusting your life around battery levels.
