Electric Vehicle Charger Installation
Licensed, certified electricians for residential and commercial EV charging.
Electric Vehicle Charging Installation in Vancouver
Electric vehicle charger installation is the full process of assessing a property, upgrading the electrical panel if needed, pulling permits, and fitting a dedicated charging unit — done right, by a licensed electrician. It is a regulated electrical job in BC, which means it requires a permit, a certified installer, and a final inspection by Technical Safety BC. Property owners who skip those steps risk voided home insurance, failed inspections on resale, and liability exposure if something goes wrong.
JZ Electric manages that entire process on your behalf. Our team has been installing EV chargers across Metro Vancouver since 2013 — in single-family homes, strata buildings, commercial parking facilities, and fleet operations. One call covers the assessment, quote, permit, installation, and walkthrough. No coordinating between contractors, no chasing the permit office.
To consistently provide professional Electrical Services in Vancouver with a focus on value and timeliness.
Find the Right Solution for Your Property
Most properties in Metro Vancouver run on Level 2 — a dedicated 240V circuit that fully charges an EV overnight — and that is what JZ Electric installs.
Residential EV Charger Installation
For homeowners and townhouse owners across Metro Vancouver. A Level 2 (240V) charger gives you a full charge overnight, every night — no range anxiety, no planning around public stations.
Every residential electric vehicle charger installation includes a panel assessment, a dedicated 240V circuit, charger supply and installation, and the required permit. We carry Grizzl-E, Sun Country Highway, Tesla Wall Connector, JuiceBox, Home Flex, and more. BC government rebates may apply — ask us when you book your free assessment.
Commercial EV Charger Installation
For strata buildings, office parks, retail centres, hotels, parkades, and fleet operations. JZ Electric designs and installs electric vehicle charging systems from a single unit to full multi-station networked setups, scaled to your property’s load capacity and your tenants’ or customers’ needs.
Every commercial installation includes load management planning, a panel upgrade if required, full permit management, and supply and installation of the charging units. As an authorized reseller of FLO, ChargePoint, Grizzl-E, and Sun Country Highway, we offer competitive pricing on equipment. Properties that enable pay-per-session charging add a recurring revenue stream from day one.
Level 1, Level 2, and DC Fast
Charging at a Glance
LEVEL 1 uses a standard 120V household outlet and delivers around 1.4 kW — slow enough that charging a full EV can take 40 hours or more. No installation required, but not practical for daily EV use.
LEVEL 2 runs on a dedicated 240V circuit and delivers 7 to 11 kW, fully charging most EVs overnight in 5 to 8 hours. It is the standard for homes, strata buildings, workplaces, and commercial properties — and what JZ Electric installs across Metro Vancouver.
DC Fast Charging delivers 50 kW or more and can charge an EV in under an hour. It requires high-voltage commercial infrastructure and is typically found at public charging stations and large fleet operations.
For the vast majority of homeowners and businesses, Level 2 is the right call.
