FAQ - Residential charging stations

Can I charge my vehicle using a normal outlet?

Yes, but it’s not recommended in the long term. A standard outlet (120V) is very slow (up to 36–60 hours for a full charge) and can overheat. A dedicated Level 2 charging station (240V) is much faster and safer.

What is the difference between a level 1 and level 2 terminal?
  • Level 1 (120V): Standard wall outlet, very slow
  • Level 2 (240V): Residential charging station, charges up to 7x faster

 

👉 The vast majority of homeowners opt for a Level 2 charging station.

 
Why choose a level 2 residential charging station?

A Level 2 residential charging station is a device installed at home that allows you to charge an electric vehicle faster, more safely, and more efficiently than a standard electrical outlet. It’s the ideal solution for maximizing your daily driving range, right at home.

 
What is the best power rating for the charging station for my home?

This depends on several factors:

  • Your electric vehicle
  • The capacity of your electrical panel
  • Your charging habits

 

VE recharge guides you in choosing the most efficient and best-suited charging station, without unnecessary extras.

 
Do I need an electrician to install an electric charging station?

Yes. The installation of a charging station must be carried out by a certified electrician in order to comply with the Quebec Electrical Code, the requirements of insurers and to preserve the warranties of the vehicle and the charging station.

 
Is the capacity of my electrical panel sufficient?

In most cases, yes. Our electricians assess:

  • The panel’s capacity (100 A, 200 A, etc.)
  • The existing home load
  • The distance between the panel and the charging station

 

If necessary, VE recharge offers smart charging management solutions, often avoiding a costly panel upgrade (panel replacement).

 
Do I need to have my electrical installation modified?

It depends on your situation:

  • Newer single-family home: often no major modifications are needed.
  • Older home: adding a load management system is possible.

 

Most residential installations are quick and easy. If adjustments are required (circuit breaker, wiring, load management), they are clearly explained beforehand, with no surprises. A quick assessment will determine the best solution.

 
How long does the installation take?

In general:

  • 2 to 4 hours for a standard installation
  • A full day if additional electrical work is required

 

We plan everything in advance to avoid surprises.

 
How much does it cost to install a residential charging station?

The price typically ranges from $1,000 to $3,000 (including the charging station) depending on:

  • The charging station model
  • The wiring distance
  • The electrical panel capacity

 

We offer clear and detailed quotes, with no hidden fees, through our online quote request form.

 
Am I eligible for a financial assistance?

Yes. The Quebec government’s Roulez Vert program offers up to $600 for the purchase and installation of an eligible residential charging station.
