EV charger installation in Markham: what to expect
In Markham, the question is rarely can we install a Level 2 charger — it's how much capacity is left. Homes here are mostly heritage homes in Unionville and Markham Village alongside 1990s–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. 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.
