This option is only available to those who had a pre-existing 240-volt outlet which they plugged their new charger into. In the application, you'll need to confirm that the outlet is compliant with local electrical code requirements and that a permit was obtained for its installation. If you're unsure, you'll need to contact Technical Safety BC or your municipality as it depends on where your property is located. Check your jurisdiction.
