Does Your Downtown Toronto Home Need a Panel Upgrade?
A standard Level 2 EV charger draws 32–48 amps continuously. Most older Downtown Toronto homes were built with 100-amp electrical service — leaving little room for a dedicated EV circuit alongside your stove, air conditioner, and other appliances.
Our electricians will assess your panel and recommend the right solution: a full 200-amp upgrade, or an Electric Vehicle Energy Management System (EVEMS) that avoids the upgrade entirely.
200-Amp Panel Upgrade Cost in Downtown Toronto
- Standard panel upgrade: $3,000 – $5,000 CAD
- Panel upgrade + EV charger installation: $4,000 – $6,500 CAD
- EVEMS alternative (no upgrade needed): $1,200 – $1,800 CAD
