EV Charger Installation in Richmond, BC
A Level 2 charger is a large continuous load. Installing it properly starts with whether your panel can carry it.
What a proper EV install includes
Most home EV chargers run at 32 to 48 amps continuously for hours at a time. That is a bigger sustained load than almost anything else in a house, which is why the install begins with a load calculation rather than a breaker.
In Richmond, EV charger installs split between single-family homes and strata condo parkades, where load management across shared parking is its own scoping problem.
- Load calculation to confirm the existing service can carry the charger
- Dedicated 240V circuit sized for the specific charger
- Hardwired or receptacle installation, indoor or outdoor rated
- Load management or sub-panel options where capacity is tight
- Multi-unit and workplace charging scoped as a commercial project
Why Richmond jobs vary
Richmond's warehouse and logistics operations near YVR airport run alongside a mostly strata residential base, so commercial three-phase work and condo or townhome panel work both come up regularly.

Common questions
Can condo parkades in Richmond get EV chargers installed?
Yes — Richmond strata parkades commonly need a load-management approach to share capacity across several stalls, which Skyvolt scopes as part of the install.
Can you install a charger I already bought?
Yes, provided it is certified for use in Canada. Send the model and we will confirm the circuit and mounting requirements before scheduling.
Do I need a service upgrade for an EV charger?
Not always. It depends on your existing service size and the rest of the load in the property. The load calculation answers it, and load management is often an alternative to a full upgrade.
