EV Charger Installation in Aurora

Neighbourhoods We Serve in Aurora

We install EV chargers across all Aurora neighbourhoods, including Aurora Heights, Bayview Wellington, Aurora Grove, Aurora Estates, Temperance Street, Henderson Drive, and the rapidly growing areas along Bayview Avenue and Leslie Street. From heritage homes near the old Aurora core to large custom builds in Aurora Estates, we've handled every type of installation Aurora homes require.

Aurora is one of York Region's fastest-growing communities, and EV adoption here is strong. Many Aurora homeowners drive premium EVs like the Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model X, BMW iX, and Rivian — and they want a proper hardwired charging setup at home, not a slow trickle from a standard outlet.

Aurora's newer subdivisions — particularly along Bayview and east of Leslie — were often built with 200A panels and double-car garages, making EV charger installation quick and straightforward. Older homes in the Aurora Heights or Henderson Drive area may need a panel upgrade first. Either way, we handle the full process.

Alectra Utilities & Aurora EV Installation

Aurora is served by Alectra Utilities (formerly PowerStream), one of the largest municipally-owned electric utilities in Canada. Alectra supplies the electricity to your home and manages the connection at the meter. For most EV charger installations — where we're simply adding a circuit from your existing panel — no Alectra coordination is needed.

However, if your panel is maxed out and requires a service upgrade (upgrading the incoming service from 100A to 200A, for example), we coordinate with Alectra to schedule the utility-side work alongside our panel installation. This process is seamless when handled by an experienced electrician — we've done it many times in Aurora and York Region.

Alectra also offers time-of-use (TOU) pricing, which means Aurora homeowners can program their EV charger to charge during off-peak hours (nights and weekends) when electricity rates are lower. We can walk you through charger settings that take advantage of TOU pricing to lower your charging costs.

Why Aurora Homeowners Choose Level 2 Charging

Level 1 charging (plugging your EV into a standard 120V outlet) delivers roughly 5–8 km of range per hour of charging. For an Aurora commuter driving 50–100 km per day, that means plugging in every night and still potentially not fully charging. Level 2 charging at 240V delivers 30–50 km of range per hour — most EVs fully charge overnight with no issues.

A hardwired Level 2 charger in your garage is the right long-term solution. It's reliable, safe, and built to handle years of daily charging cycles without degrading. Our installations use commercial-grade materials and proper wire sizing — nothing undersized or cobbled together.

Aurora homes typically have attached double garages, which makes running conduit from the panel to the charger mounting location clean and efficient. We take pride in neat, professional conduit runs that look like they were planned by the builder — not added as an afterthought.

Panel Upgrades in Aurora

Many Aurora homes built before the mid-1990s came with 100A electrical panels. At the time, that was sufficient. Today, with EVs, heat pumps, air conditioning, high-draw kitchen appliances, and smart home systems all on the same panel, 100A often isn't enough to support an EV charger safely.

We perform a detailed load calculation to determine whether your existing panel can handle a new EV circuit. If it can, great — we install the circuit. If it can't, we'll quote you on a 200A panel upgrade, which gives you the capacity you need now and room to grow in the future.

A 200A panel upgrade also brings your electrical system up to modern code, which can have positive implications for home insurance compliance. Many insurers have started asking questions about older 100A panels — upgrading proactively removes that risk.
