EV Charger Installation
Level 2 home charging & power management:
Nanaimo & Central Vancouver Island
Fast, Safe, and Convenient Charging Right at Home
Plugging your electric vehicle into a standard household wall outlet (120V) can take over 24 hours to reach a full charge. With a professional Level 2 (240V) charging station installed by MC Volts Electric, you can power up to 8 times faster—conveniently charging your vehicle overnight while you sleep.
Our team provides complete end-to-end EV charger services. From assessing your home’s electrical capacity and handling the municipal permit process, to installing the charger and helping you submit your utility rebates, we make the transition to electric completely seamless.
EV Charger Installation FAQs
Level 1 charging uses a standard 120V household outlet and adds roughly 3 to 8 km of range per hour. Level 2 charging runs on a dedicated 208V or 240V circuit, adding between 30 and 80km of range per hour, letting you fully charge your battery overnight.
Not necessarily. While a standard Level 2 charger typically requires a dedicated 40A or 50A breaker, homes with 100A service can often accommodate a charger by installing an EV power management device. We will assess your panel during our initial consultation to find the safest, most cost-effective path forward.
Yes, EV chargers are eligible for rebates through BC Hydro, provided they meet specific program requirements. Get in touch with MC Volts Electric for more information.
Most residential Level 2 installations are completed within 3 to 5 hours, depending on the distance between your electrical panel and your preferred charging location.

Matthew was very prompt and personable. He checked to see if that fan I was replacing could have been fixed and since it was not fixable, he quickly and professionally installed the new one, answering any questions I had. Rates was reasonable. Clean up was completed. I would %100 recommend Matthew to anyone that needs an electrician. I plan on sharing his number with friends. Thank you for such a well done job.

Matthew did a great job installing a variety of lighting fixtures and ceiling fans throughout our house. Matthew is very competent and analytical, so he thought through challenges and when issues arose he asked questions so that we all knew what the expectations and final decisions were. His has a very strong customer service ethic and it showed in how he approached this job. We’re delighted with our new lighting and fans!

I totally recommend MC Volts Electric. Matt was great to deal with. Friendly and offered honest advice. None stop, hard worker. Totally thrilled with the new bathroom extractor fan he recommended and installed plus some electrical work in my crawlspace. I will definitely be using him again for future work.

We have engaged Matthew twice to perform jobs and in both instances his work has been excellent. He is knowledgeable, thorough in his analysis of the problems, and willing to explain in detail what needs to be done.
I would highly recommend MC Volts Electric for jobs minor or major.

Matthew should be everyone’s go to electrician. I found Matthew to be very conscientious, knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge when questioned. He upgraded and/or replaced outdoor outlets, a multitude of light fixtures and switches, a baseboard heater, a bathroom exhaust fan, GFI plugs and thermostats. It was a pleasure to have him work for me and I would highly recommend him for any electrical work you may require.

I would highly recommend MC Volts Electric. Matthew helped us in a pinch and on short notice to fix an issue we had with exposed outlets and switches. He was ready with a solution after our backsplash was installed. Matthew made sure our kitchen was safe and hazard free in no time. Thank you, Matthew! Much appreciated!

Great customer service. Matthew changed a bunch of ceiling fixtures and light switches. He saved me time by sourcing out the light fixtures for me. When something wasn’t working, he came back and fixed it right away. Matthew also made some great recommendations that I did not think of for future projects.

Matt at MC Volts Electric upgraded our electrical service from 100 to 200 amps, installed a 50 amp receptacle in garage and a 50 amp feed to sauna. Matt is a thinker, planner and a doer that gets the job done! Matt also balances aesthetics, cost and time in a practical cost effective way. We recommend MC Volts Electric!
