Choosing the Perfect EV Charger Type
Understanding the various EV charger types is crucial for optimizing your home charging experience.

Your home's existing electrical capacity and your desired charging speed also play significant roles. Professional guidance ensures you choose a solution that is both practical and future-proof for your evolving needs.

FAQs About EV Charger Installation
As you prepare to embrace the convenience of home EV charging, you may have specific questions about the process and what it entails. We've compiled answers to common inquiries to help you better understand electric vehicle charger installations.
What electrical upgrades might my home need for an EV charger? Most Level 2 EV chargers require a dedicated 240-volt circuit and a 40- to 50-amp breaker. Older homes, especially those with 100-amp service panels, often require a main electrical panel upgrade to 200 amps to safely support the additional load. A professional assessment will determine exact needs.
How long does a typical EV charger installation take? The physical installation of an EV charger typically takes between 2 to 4 hours for a standard setup. However, the overall timeline can extend if electrical panel upgrades are necessary, if the charger is located far from your main panel, or due to local permitting and inspection schedules.
Are permits always required for home EV charger installation? Yes, permits are almost always required for Level 2 EV charger installations due to the significant electrical work involved. This ensures that the installation adheres to local building codes and safety standards, protecting your home and family. Our team handles the permitting process for you.
Is an EV charger compatible with all electric vehicle models? Most Level 2 home EV chargers use the universal J1772 connector, making them compatible with nearly all electric vehicles. Tesla vehicles can easily use these chargers with a simple adapter that typically comes with the car. Our experts can confirm compatibility for your specific model.
What factors influence the total cost of EV charger installation? The overall cost is influenced by several key factors. These include the type and brand of EV charger you select, whether your home requires an electrical panel upgrade, the distance the wiring needs to run from your electrical panel to the charger location, and local permitting fees.
