Look, we’re not saying gas guzzlers are going extinct tomorrow… but with Alberta’s vehicle sales jumping 12.9% in one year, it’s clear: people are buying cars—and a growing chunk of them are electric.
Whether you’re dreaming of plugging in a new EV in your garage or already Googling “Tesla accessories I don’t need but kinda want,” here’s something you need to know: If you’re thinking about solar for your home, you should plan for your EV before installing your system.
Yep. Before. Not after. Not “we’ll figure it out later.” Before.
Why You Don’t Want to Be “That Guy”
You know the one. He installs solar, loves it, then buys an EV six months later… and suddenly finds out:
- His system isn’t sized to handle the extra load
- His electrical panel needs an upgrade (cha-ching)
He’s now charging his “zero-emission” ride with grid power that costs more and comes from who-knows-where
Don’t be that guy.
- Planning for your future EV—even if you haven’t picked the color yet—means:
Your solar system is built to power both your home and your car - Your panel can handle a Level 2 charger
- You won’t have to call us back in a panic later
Solar + EVs = Alberta Dad Energy (and Big Savings)
You’re not just saving the planet—you’re saving serious dollars.
Imagine rolling into your driveway, plugging in your EV, and knowing the sun paid for your “fuel.”
Now imagine doing it while your kids think you’re Iron Man. That’s the energy.
Going solar now, and planning for your EV at the same time, means:
- Fewer upgrade headaches later
- Lower charging costs (hello, free sunlight)
- One clean, future-ready setup you can brag about in your group chat
“I Don’t Have an EV Yet Though…”
Totally fine. Even if you’re thinking about getting an EV in the next 1–3 years, it’s worth telling us now.
Because guess what? It’s way easier (and cheaper) to build your system once with your EV in mind than to rip apart your electrical panel later to “make it work.”
Future-proofing = less stress, fewer bills, and more time to pick your EV’s vanity plate.
