EV charger installation in Aurora: what to expect
In Aurora, the question is rarely can we install a Level 2 charger — it's how much capacity is left. Homes here are mostly 1970s–90s neighbourhoods and newer estate homes, 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. Two-EV households are common here; load-sharing chargers let both cars charge overnight on one circuit.
Every install includes the ESA permit. If a service upgrade is needed, we coordinate it with Alectra Utilities.

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.

Often, yes — at a lower setting or with an energy management system. We check the numbers on site.
