Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Level 2 charger?

For a full battery EV in a Canadian winter, almost certainly. Level 1 (regular outlet) suits plug-in hybrids and very short commutes. See the buyer's guide.

Can my panel handle a charger?

That's a load calculation by a licensed electrician — and adjustable chargers often make tight panels work without a service upgrade.

Are there rebates?

Quebec's Roulez vert program has offered home-charger rebates; Ontario programs vary by utility. Always check the official program pages before buying.

Can Maple supply everything my electrician needs?

Yes — charger, breaker, wire, and conduit in one order. Send us the spec list.
