Driving an electric vehicle (EV) is no longer a futuristic concept; it’s today's reality. It's a transformative move towards a sustainable lifestyle, reshaping our transportation system. As the number of electric vehicles on the road increases, so does the demand for efficient EV charger installations.
Installing your EV charger may be more inexpensive and complex than you have hoped. However, you will reap long-term benefits by ensuring proper and professional EV charger installation, particularly by selecting the best installer. An effective installation service can make all the difference, from providing your charger safe and compliant with national regulations to increasing your property’s value.
NorthCharge deals with a professional installation team to provide services. The installation service is mainly focused on business & fleet service. For individuals and home installation, we can provide service across Ontario province for now but will soon have services across the rest of the regions in Canada, whereas for the US, there is no team for home services EV chargers are easy to install by any certified electrician.
We understand this is not a do-it-yourself project or a place to cut corners. Subpar electrical work can seriously affect your EV charging and the value of your home and your family’s safety.
We are a dependable home charging installation partner for the world's leading automakers and massive EV drivers like you. We set the industry standard for safety, service quality, and customer support, and a guarantee backs every installation.

An EV charger is a device that supplies electric energy for charging the batteries of
electric vehicles. It is an essential
component for EVs, allowing them to recharge and operate.
The time it takes to charge an electric vehicle depends on the battery’s size and the
charger’s power output. A standard home charger can take between 6-12 hours to fully
charge an EV, while a fast charger can recharge up to 80% of the battery in as little as
30 minutes.
There are three types of EV chargers: Level 1, Level 2, and DC Fast Chargers. Level 1
chargers use a standard 120V household outlet and offer a charging rate of about 4-5
miles of range per hour. Level 2 chargers require a 240V outlet and can provide 10-60
miles of range per hour. DC fast chargers are the fastest and can provide up to 300
miles of range in 30 minutes.
The cost of installing an EV charger depends on the type of charger and the installation
requirements. A basic Level 1 charger can cost around $300, while a Level 2 charger can
cost between $500 to $2,000, and a DC fast charger can cost anywhere from $10,000 to
$40,000.
Yes, you can charge your electric vehicle at home. You can install a Level 1 or Level 2
charger in your garage or driveway, and most electric vehicles come with a portable
charger that can be plugged into a standard household outlet.
The range of an electric vehicle depends on the model and the battery size. Most electric
vehicles can travel between 100-300 miles on a single charge.
You can use smartphone apps like PlugShare or ChargePoint to find public EV charging
stations. You can also check with your EV manufacturer or visit their website for
information on charging station locations.
