Non-residential EV charging stations

Electric vehicle charging solutions for your business

At EPCOR, we understand the importance of sustainable energy solutions. We are committed to helping businesses electrify their transportation by investing in our electrical grid, partnering with local organizations to ensure EV charging infrastructure availability, and enabling customers to connect their EV charging stations to our grid safely and reliably.

All electricity distributors in Ontario must follow a standard procedure set by the Ontario Energy Board for non-residential customers who wish to install electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) for charging infrastructure.

Examples of non-residential EV charging systems include:

Publicly accessible charging stations.
Workplace charging stations.
Commercial EV fleet charging stations.
Apartment and condominium building charging stations (owned and operated by the building owner or by a third-party EV charging station provider).

Steps involved in connecting non-residential EV charging systems to our grid:

Step 1a: Request an optional consultation with EPCOR

Request a preliminary consultation with us by completing an Electric Vehicle Consultation Information Requestopens in a new tab (EVPCIR) and submitting it through email to EV.EEDO@epcor.com.

This optional consultation is especially helpful for customers who:

Are unsure of a specific site connection for EV charging stations.
Are exploring multiple potential site connections for EV charging stations.

Note: If you have already decided on specific locations, this step may offer limited benefits and could extend the overall time it takes to get connected.

Step 1b: Receive an Electric Vehicle Preliminary Consultation Report (EVPCR) from EPCOR

Within 15 calendar days of receiving the optional EVPCIR, EPCOR will provide you with an Electric Vehicle Preliminary Consultation Report (EVPCR). This is a non-binding informational report which details:

A high-level capacity assessment at the connection point.
Information about whether a service upgrade is needed for the requested connection capacity.
An assessment of the expected complexity of the connection.
Any additional information we may have about the practicality of a site or charging station installation.

Step 2: Submit a service connection request to EPCOR

If you’re ready to install without a consultation, you can submit your EV charging station installation request directly to EPCOR through our New Service Connection online form.
