A NEMA 14-50 plug-in charger is the simplest way to set up Level 2 home charging in Canada. You install (or already have) a NEMA 14-50 outlet — the same type used by RVs, electric ranges, and welders — then plug in the EVIQO charger and start charging. No hardwiring, no permanent commitment. Up to 40A / 9.6 kW — enough to fully charge most EVs overnight. Available in J1772 or NACS, rated to −30°C.

NEMA 14-50 is the standard name for a 240V, 50-amp electrical outlet used across North America for high-power appliances — RVs, electric ranges, welders, and EV charging. It's a four-prong receptacle (two hots, one neutral, one ground) recognized by every Canadian licensed electrician. Most Canadian homes can have one installed for $400–$900 CAD, depending on distance from the panel and provincial rates.
Flexibility: You can unplug and move the charger when you relocate — a hardwired unit stays with the house. Easier install: Once the outlet is installed (the only part that requires an electrician), you handle the charger yourself. Renter-friendly: Some landlords allow tenant-paid outlet installs that stay with the property. Trade-off: capped at 40A / 9.6 kW (vs 48A / 11.5 kW hardwired) — but 40A is plenty for overnight charging on most EVs.
Probably not. Dryers in Canada typically use a NEMA 14-30 (30-amp) outlet — a different plug shape and a lower-rated circuit. Some electric ranges use NEMA 14-50, but the circuit may be on a 40A breaker rather than the 50A required for full 40A output. Always have a licensed electrician verify the breaker, wire gauge, and outlet rating before plugging in. If your existing outlet is on a smaller circuit, EVIQO chargers can be dialed down to 24A or 32A to stay within safe limits.
A 50A double-pole breaker is required for the full 40A continuous output (per the CEC 80% rule). Wire size: typically 6 AWG copper for L1 + L2 + neutral, 10 AWG for ground. If you only have a 30A breaker available, set the EVIQO dial switch to position 1 and limit the app slider to 24A — still ~32 km of range per hour.
The cordset that ships with most new EVs (Tesla Mobile Connector, Ford Mobile Charger, etc.) is typically limited to 32A — about 7.7 kW. EVIQO plug-in chargers run at 40A — about 25% faster. They also add Wi-Fi scheduling, real-time monitoring, household sharing, IP66 / NEMA 4 weatherproofing rated to −30°C, and a permanent wall-mount with holster. Your mobile cordset becomes the backup.
EVIQO plug-in chargers ship with a 7.6 m (25 ft) charging cable on the output side and a ~1 m (40-inch) input cable to the NEMA 14-50 plug. That's enough to reach across most two-car garages or out to a driveway. Pro tip: install the outlet on the wall closest to where you'll park, about 120 cm off the floor, so the cable runs naturally to the car's charge port.

A 240V, 50-amp four-prong receptacle widely used in Canada for high-power appliances — same outlet type as electric ranges, RV hookups, and welders. Recognized by every licensed electrician across all Canadian provinces. Easy to install as a dedicated circuit.
Typically $400–$900 CAD for a residential install, depending on how far the outlet is from your electrical panel and local labour rates in your province. Get 2–3 quotes from licensed electricians. Some Canadian utility and provincial programs offer rebates that cover part of installation costs — check the Canadian rebate guide →
Most Canadian dryer outlets are NEMA 14-30 (30 amps) — a different plug shape and a smaller circuit. If you have a true NEMA 14-50 outlet on a 50A circuit, you can use it. If not, a licensed electrician needs to install the correct outlet. Do not use adapters to force-fit incompatible outlets — that is a safety and fire risk, and violates the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
Yes — that's a key advantage of the plug-in version. Unscrew the wall mount using the included T25 Allen wrench, unplug from the outlet, and the charger comes with you. The NEMA 14-50 outlet stays. Just confirm your next home has (or can have) a NEMA 14-50 outlet on a dedicated 50A circuit.
For the vast majority of Canadian EV owners — yes. At 40A / 9.6 kW, the charger adds approximately 55–65 km of range per hour. A depleted 75–80 kWh battery (typical IONIQ 5, Model Y, Mach-E, EV6) fully recharges in about 9 hours — well within overnight. If you drive a large-battery truck (F-150 Lightning, Silverado EV, Rivian R1T) and put 300+ km on it daily, hardwired 48A makes a meaningful difference.
EVIQO chargers have integrated ground-fault protection internally. However, provincial electrical codes and local authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ) may still require GFCI protection on the NEMA 14-50 outlet circuit — your licensed electrician will advise based on your province (ESA Ontario, Technical Safety BC, RBQ Quebec). Note: some GFCI breakers may nuisance-trip with EV chargers; your electrician can advise on the best approach.
Choose plug-in if: you rent, you may move, you want the simplest install, or you need approximately 55–65 km of range per hour. Choose hardwired if: you own the home, want maximum 48A / 11.5 kW output, prefer the cleanest installation with no visible outlet, or drive a large-battery EV with high daily mileage. Both are ETL/cETL certified, IP66-rated, and Canadian rebate-eligible.
The charger body is IP66 / NEMA 4 rated and tested to −30°C — rain, snow, and direct water spray are handled. However: an outdoor NEMA 14-50 outlet requires a weatherproof in-use cover (your electrician handles this) and may require GFCI protection depending on your province. For outdoor installations in wet or very cold climates, hardwired EVIQO is often a cleaner long-term solution — no outlet exposed to the elements.
If it's a true NEMA 14-50 on a 50A breaker — yes. Many RV pedestals meet this spec in Canada. Have a licensed electrician verify: (a) breaker is 50A, (b) wire gauge is 6 AWG copper, (c) the outlet is rated for continuous EV charging loads. If anything is undersized, use the dial switch and app slider to reduce the charger's output to a safe level — or upgrade the circuit.
