How to install a residential charging station?
Have you made the leap to electric? Congratulations! Installing a home charging station is the next step to fully enjoying your electric vehicle. Here's a simple guide to understanding how it works.
1. Check your electrical panel
The first step is to validate the capacity of your electrical panel. A 200-amp panel is ideal for a Level 2 charging station. An electrician can confirm if an upgrade is necessary.
2. Choose the location
Your charging station can be installed indoors (in a garage) or outdoors. Make sure the location is accessible, safe, and close to the electrical panel to limit installation costs.
3. Professional installation
A certified electrician will carry out the work: wiring, circuit breakers, surge protection, etc. At KENI, we offer a secure installation that complies with Quebec standards.
4. Power on and configure
Once installed, the terminal can be connected to Wi-Fi, configured via the app, or activated by RFID card. It's quick and easy to set up, and ready to use in minutes.
5. Apply for your grant
The KENI charging station is eligible for the Quebec government's Roulez Vert program. Receive up to $600 in reimbursement after installation. A great way to save.
Conclusion
Installing a residential charging station means investing in comfort, speed, and autonomy. The KENI Recharge station is designed for the Quebec climate, easy to install, and compatible with all EVs.
