EV charger installation in Ajax: what to expect
In Ajax, the question is rarely can we install a Level 2 charger — it's how much capacity is left. Homes here are mostly 1970s–2010s subdivisions, and the answer depends on what's already on the panel.
Where the panel is tight, an EV energy management system (EVEMS) lets the charger share capacity with the house instead of forcing a 200 A upgrade. Where it's genuinely full, we'll tell you — and price both options.
Every install includes the ESA permit. If a service upgrade is needed, we coordinate it with Elexicon Energy.
Local notes: Ajax
Newer north end. Homes in Northwest Ajax and Nottingham typically have 200 A services but full panels; sub-panels and load management solve most additions.
Elexicon Energy. Ajax is served by Elexicon Energy; we coordinate utility disconnects for service upgrades.

Most straightforward installs land between $1,100 and $1,700 plus the charger; longer runs or load management add to that. We quote it fixed after seeing the panel.
