South end or downtown
Homes in the south end of Guelph tend to have attached garages and newer panels, so installs are usually quick. In the older streets near downtown and the university, parking is often a laneway or driveway and the panel is in an old stone basement, which means a longer route and sometimes a panel upgrade. The assessment covers both so there are no surprises.

Questions about home EV chargers
Hardwired charger or plug-in?
Hardwired is tidier, allows higher charging rates and suits outdoor installs. A plug-in charger on a 14-50 outlet is easier to take with you if you move.
Can two electric cars share a charger circuit?
Yes. Some chargers are designed to share one circuit and split the power between two vehicles.
