Does your panel have room for an EV charger?
Panel first. Then the charger.
- 01We look at the panel first. What is in it, the free spaces, and what the house already pulls.
- 02Panel can carry it. The charger gets its own circuit.Panel cannot carry it? It goes to 200 amp first, on the same job.
- 03The run to where you park. The unit mounted on the wall.
- 04Tested. And left working.
It is what the Electrical Safety Authority says to check first: the panel has to be able to handle the extra load.

EV charger and panel reviews
Charger to pole. Their words.
“Lot of work got done by Dunne Power at my place from EV charger installation, panel upgrade to electric pole installation. Tom is very responsive and dependable. Would highly recommend!”
Rohan S.Google review, September 2026
“We needed to upgrade our panel and contacted 3 contractors for estimates. We were very impressed with the professionalism of Dunne’s representative, Tom. He assessed the situation and provided a detailed estimate so we chose Dunne’s.”
Kevin W.Google review, August 2026
“They installed a new Generac system and did a remarkable job. Dunne was the prime vendor who co-ordinated and managed all the players involved such as the gas professional and Hydro One to name a few.”

How an EV charger install works and what it costs
Four steps. One crew.
- 01
You call
Where you park, and the charger you have.
- 02
We look at the panel
Room for the charger, or upgraded first.
- 03
One crew installs
The circuit, the run, the unit on the wall.
- 04
Tested and left working
Every job gets the permit and the inspection.
What decides the price
- How far the charger is from the panel
- A finished space or an open basement
- Whether the panel has room
- Whether the meter needs work
- Whether anything has to be dug
- What is under the ground
We are not going to put a number on this page that we would have to take back when we see your panel. We look at your panel and where you park, then you get the number.
“Dunne power from the moment I called was professional, transparent about pricing, fair and provided exceptional work.”

Do I need a permit to install an EV charger in Ontario?
Yes. The Electrical Safety Authority requires an electrical permit for every EV charger installation, filed before the work starts. When the work is finished and accepted as compliant with the Ontario Electrical Safety Code, a Licensed Electrical Contractor gives you the ESA Certificate of Acceptance.
Do I need a 200 amp panel for an EV charger?
Not automatically. ESA’s rule is that the panel has to be able to handle the extra load, and that your local utility has to be contacted if the panel needs upgrading. What decides it is what is in your panel now, how many spaces are free, and what the rest of the house already pulls. That is the first thing we look at.
Who installs EV chargers in Grey Bruce?
A Licensed Electrical Contractor with an ECRA/ESA licence. ESA’s rule is that if you hire someone to do electrical work in your home, by law it has to be one. We are one, we are in Owen Sound, and we cover Tobermory to Walkerton.
Is this the same as a public charging station?
No. This is a charger at your house, shop or cottage. If you are looking for somewhere to plug in on a trip, that is a public charging station, and it is a different thing.
