The installation of a home charging station typically takes 4-6 hours, including electrical panel examination, wiring, finishing, and testing. Some properties that require major electrical work may require a little more time. Our team always communicates the exact time after a free prior visit.
Do Electron charging stations remain reliable during Quebec winters?
Absolutely. Designed to withstand extreme conditions, our bollards have a NEMA 3R rating for protection against moisture, corrosion, and freeze-thaw cycles.
