In general, the EV charger installation cost in a condo parking spot in Ontario can range between $5,000 and $10,000 per individual EV charger station, and depends on a number of factors.
This guide outlines the breakdown of the cost to install an EV charging station in your condo parking spot and other factors that can affect your EV charger installation cost.
Does your condo require additional electrical equipment to support EV charging stations?
Does your condo have electrical infrastructure and enough capacity to install EV charging stations? Do you need extra electrical infrastructure to support a large-scale EV charging network?
If your condo building already has an EV charging infrastructure with extra capacity available, your cost to install an EV charging station will be low. If additional electrical upgrades (i.e. circuit breakers, electrical transformers) are required before installing an EV charging system, your EV charger installation cost would be on the higher end.

What is the distance of your parking spot to the central or sub-electrical rooms?
The charging station installed in your parking spot must be connected to the electrical panel with physical wiring. The greater the distance between your parking spot and the electrical panel, the higher the cost will be to install EV chargers in condo parking areas. The voltage will drop from travelling the long distance. To maintain a strong voltage if your parking spot is far from the electrical panel, a larger conduit can be installed.
If your parking spot is located on a different floor from the main electrical room or sub-electrical room, it might be necessary to drill through the floor and run conduit and wire down to your parking level.
The thicker the wire, the more difficult it is to fish through the conduit. EV charger installation costs are likely to be higher to account for the additional work and equipment needed for the upgrade.
Some EV charging installation companies work with condo boards to set a flat installation fee, helping control EV charger installation cost even in more complex setups.

How many EV charging stations are being installed at the same time?
Another major factor influencing the cost to install an EV charging station in condos is the number of residents who want to install an EV charger at the same time. When the fixed infrastructure cost is split across multiple condo units, the total EV charger installation cost per owner will be lower. The more participants, the lower the cost per charger. Grouping installations allows for bulk pricing and streamlined infrastructure setup.
EV charging installation companies will work with the condo board and management to get as many condo units to sign up as possible to lower the total EV charger installation cost per unit. This requires extra initiative to educate your residents on either installing a charger for their current EV or to invest in a charger for future benefits.

Is there network connectivity (Can Wi-Fi reach my parking spot)?
For electric car charging stations in condominiums, Wi-Fi network connectivity is essential. EV charger Wi-Fi enables remote monitoring and management of the charging process, which means residents and property managers can track charging sessions, monitor energy consumption, and schedule charging times, all from their mobile devices through an EV charging software.
You will need network connectivity to reach your parking spot for your EV charger to connect with the EV charging network. If your parking spot isn’t within range of Wi-Fi, additional networking equipment may be needed, increasing the cost to install EV chargers in condo garages.

How much of the fixed EV charger installation costs does the condo owner pay?
Some EV charger installation costs are fixed regardless of how many chargers are being installed. A government rebate may cover these costs, but ultimately the condo board decides whether to charge each condo owner all or part of the fixed EV charger installation cost.

What is the EV charger brand and model?
If you want to install an EV charger in your condo building, the brand or model of charger could impact the cost. In most instances, condos and apartment buildings will choose Level 2 EV chargers for their charging network.
Most electric car charging stations condominiums install are Level 2 EV chargers, which cost between $2,500 and $3,500. While some EV chargers cost below $1,500, these units are generally not commercial-grade and lack key features required to monitor usage and connect to the network. To install an EV charger installed in your condo parking spot, the cost of the EV charging unit is likely to be around $3,500.
Level 2 EV chargers have similar qualities but the EV charger insThis legal requirement typically costs between $300–$500 and adds to the cost to install an EV charging station in a condo.tallation cost will vary depending on the brand, features, and connectivity requirements.

What is the cost of registering a charging station on a parking spot land title?
In Ontario, you are legally required to register your EV charger to the title of your parking spot unit. This needs to be done through a lawyer who is qualified to practice real estate law in Ontario. This legal process typically costs between $300–$500, adding in another factor that could increase the cost to install an EV charging station in a condo parking spot.
Are there any rebates for installing EV chargers in condos?
Ontario EV charger rebates can cover up to 50% of the equipment and installation costs for EV charging stations for condo and multi-residential buildings. These programs can dramatically reduce the EV charger installation cost, making EV ownership more affordable for residents.
