In Ontario, the process to install a Level 2 charger in a condominium can vary depending on the specific condo and its regulations. Here is an overview of the general process:
- Review condo regulations: The first step is to review your condominium’s bylaws regarding EV charging. Some condos may have specific requirements, such as using a specific EV charging provider or installing the charging station in a specific location.
- Obtain approval from the condo board: You will need to submit a proposal or application to the condo board detailing the location of the charging station and the installation process. The board will review your proposal and may require additional documentation such engineering reports.
- Hire a licensed electrician: You will need to hire a licensed electrician to install the charging station. The electrician will ensure that the installation meets all electrical and building code requirements.
- Purchase and install the charging station: Once you have obtained approval from the condo board and obtained the necessary permits, you can purchase and install the charging station.
- Set up billing: If your condo requires you to pay for the electricity used to charge your EV, you will need to set up a billing system with the condo board or EV charging provider.
