Kobalt Systems Specializes in EV Charger Installation, Repair or Upgrade for Home and Business
Looking to make the change to an electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid vehicle? Whether you are choosing to go electric for the environmental impacts or to save on the cost of gasoline, one thing you will need is access to electricity to charge your vehicle.

We can also help with applications to national and provincial rebate programs for electric vehicle charger purchase and installation.

At Kobalt our preferred Electric Vehicle Charger manufacturers and suppliers are:
FLO – Ideal for external installation for residential or corporate customers.
Grizzl-E – A solid universal charger made primarily for indoor installation but can be used outdoors in milder climates
Tesla – Only for Tesla vehicles – note the charger rebate does not apply to the Tesla Mobile Connector
