Before confirming scope, we review your electrical panel, its main service rating, the charger model, where you park, and the route between the panel and that spot. Call (647) 401-7444 or send photos for a written estimate.

How Much Does EV Charger Installation in Markham Cost?
EV charger installation in Markham typically costs $1,500–$2,800 for a standard Level 2 installation. Work involving a detached garage, a long wiring run, finished walls, load-management equipment, or a panel with no spare capacity commonly reaches $3,500 or more.

Four things move the price more than anything else:
-
the distance and route from your panel to the charger
-
whether the panel can take a new 240-volt circuit
-
whether the charger is hardwired or fed from an approved receptacle such as a NEMA 14-50
-
whether it sits inside a garage or outdoors on a driveway or exterior wall — outdoor locations need a weather-rated unit and a wiring method to match
The charging unit itself runs $500–$1,200 depending on brand, amperage and connector. We install Tesla Wall Connectors along with FLO, ChargePoint, Grizzl-E, Autel, Emporia and other approved equipment, using NACS or J1772 connectors depending on the unit and the vehicle. If you already own the charger, the quote covers installation only.

Condos and townhouses: these are a different job.
Shared building infrastructure and board approval are involved, and installations commonly run $3,000–$10,000+. Send us the parking level, panel location and any board requirements and we will quote it separately.
Capacity check
Do You Need a Panel Upgrade, or Will Load Management Do?
We run a load calculation on your existing service before quoting, so you know the answer before you commit to anything.
An EV charger is a continuous load, which means the breaker has to be rated above the charger’s actual draw — a 40-amp charger needs a 50-amp breaker, a 48-amp charger needs a 60-amp breaker.
On a 200-amp service with spare breaker spaces, that is usually straightforward. On a 100-amp service, or a panel that is already full, there are two ways forward.
A service upgrade also involves Alectra Utilities, the electricity distributor for Markham. We coordinate that work alongside the ESA notification and confirm the timeline with you before scheduling.
Scope of work
What the Installation Includes
- Load calculation and panel capacity review
- A dedicated 240-volt circuit: breaker, conductors, and conduit where required
- Mounting the charger, or installing an approved receptacle
- Testing the circuit and confirming the charger operates
- ESA notification, inspection, and documentation
Most standard installations are finished in a single visit. A panel or service upgrade extends that, and we flag it before the day rather than on it.
Permits and inspection
Do You Need a Permit to Install an EV Charger in Markham?
Yes. A new 240-volt EV charger circuit requires an ESA notification and inspection anywhere in Ontario. Any contractor doing that work for you has to hold an ECRA/ESA licence — that licence is what allows them to file the notification in the first place.
XB Electric files it under ECRA/ESA #7016894, handles the inspection, and gives you the documentation once the work is approved. Both are included in the quoted price rather than added to the final invoice.

Include the approximate distance in feet and your vehicle model. We review the photos, confirm the scope and the price, then book the installation. If the setup needs an on-site look before it can be quoted, we say so before quoting rather than after.
