For those Calgarians looking to install an EV charger in their home or business, there are several companies that can assist you. Here are the top EV charger installers in Calgary.
Sun Solar Electrical
Sun Solar Electrical provides EV charger installation, maintenance, and repair services in Calgary and surrounding areas, including Airdrie, Okotoks, and Cochrane. The company can install EV chargers for both residential and commercial properties.
The installation process for residential customers follows a three-step approach:
- Provide an on-site quote: A certified electrician will come to the home at a scheduled time, inspect the installation site, and provide an accurate quote.
- The electrician will confirm the exact location where the customer wants the charger installed and ensure the required electrical supply is there
- The electrician will consult with the customer on which type of charger to install and whether it is compatible with the EV model. They will also ask if the charger will be corded or hardwired
The installation approach for commercial customers is similar. A certified technician will meet with the business/site owner to inspect the site, verify the site has the required electrical supply and confirm charger location.
Sun Solar Electrical can install EV chargers from manufacturers like Tesla and FLO. The only requirement is that the charger is CSA tested and approved for safety, reliability, and quality. Costs are determined via a no-obligation quote. As a rough estimate, installations can cost $800.

Zeus Electrical Services
Zeus Electrical Services is a Calgary-based company that specializes in Level 2 EV charger installations. Chargers from major brands like Tesla, Wallbox, Grizzl-E, FLO, and ChargePoint can be installed for a wide range of EV models. Installations can also be customized to meet specific charging needs.
To start, Zeus Electrical Services performs a home assessment to assess customer needs. This assessment is free for EV owners or those with a confirmed delivery date for their EV. Next, a technician will evaluate the home’s electrical panel and perform a load calculation. From that, the technician can recommend solutions like NEMA 14-50 outlets, wall-mounted EV chargers, or a load management system. A certified team will then perform the installation and ensure it fits with the budget, driving habits of the customer, and the electrical capacity of the home. Post-installation, Zeus Electrical Services provides ongoing support in case questions or issues arise.
Zeus Electrical Services also offers EV Energy Management Systems (EVEMS) installation. This system is essential for most homes with 100-amp panels, and it balances power usage to prevent overloading the electrical system. An EVEMS is best for homes needing Level 2 chargers without a full panel upgrade.
Free estimates are available for EV owners and owners with a set delivery date. Non-owners pay an $84.99 consultation fee, which is credited toward installation.
