Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to install an EV charger in Mississauga?

Yes. Any Level 2 (240V) EV charger installation in Mississauga requires an ESA permit filed by a licensed electrical contractor. If the installation requires a panel upgrade, a City of Mississauga building permit is also needed, applied through the eCity online portal. DIY or unpermitted installs may void your home insurance and EV charger warranty.

Which utility serves Mississauga for EV charger installations?

Virtually all of Mississauga is served by Alectra Utilities, which was formed in 2017 from the merger of Enersource Hydro Mississauga, Horizon Utilities, and PowerStream. Your licensed electrician should confirm your utility account is with Alectra before ordering a panel upgrade or scheduling the meter inspection - Alectra's interconnection requirements and inspection procedures apply.

Is there a rebate for EV charger installation in Mississauga?

Federal and provincial EV infrastructure incentive programs have varied from year to year - check with Natural Resources Canada and Alectra Utilities for current offerings at time of install. Alectra has periodically offered time-of-use and smart charging incentive programs for residential customers in its territory. Your electrician should be familiar with any active Peel Region or utility rebate programs when quoting.

What should I ask an EV charger installer in Mississauga?

Ask whether they will pull the ESA permit, confirm your Alectra account information, verify your panel has available capacity (or quote a panel upgrade if needed), specify the charger brand and amperage, and provide a WSIB clearance certificate. Confirm the quote includes the ESA permit inspection fee and any Alectra connection fees.
