EV Charger Installation in Coquitlam
Coquitlam splits neatly for EV work. The new subdivisions up on Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau are often EV-ready or a short step from it, while the older homes in Maillardville and Austin Heights need their panel checked first. We install Level 2 chargers across the whole city.
In Coquitlam, electrical permits run through Technical Safety BC rather than the City, and we file and close that permit as part of the install, along with the documentation your BC Hydro rebate needs.

Common questions in Coquitlam
Are newer Coquitlam homes ready for an EV charger?
Often close to it. Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau builds tend to have 200-amp service and sometimes an EV-ready circuit already. We confirm with a quick load check and install to it.
Who permits an EV charger install in Coquitlam?
Technical Safety BC. Unlike some neighbouring cities, Coquitlam doesn't run its own electrical permitting, so the permit is a TSBC one, which we file and close for you.
Do older Coquitlam homes need a panel upgrade for a charger?
Sometimes. Maillardville and Austin Heights have older services that can be tight. A load calculation tells us whether there is room or whether a service upgrade makes sense first.
