EV CHARGER INSTALLATION
Understanding your needs
Before diving into installation, consider what type of EV charger suits your vehicle and lifestyle. A top-rated electrician such as our King Electric LLC company can help you decide which is best for you. There are generally two types:
- Level 1 Chargers: These use a standard 120V outlet, which doesn’t require special installation but charges slowly, typically best for overnight use.
- Level 2 Chargers: These require a 240V outlet and charge much faster, ideal for those who use their vehicle more frequently and can’t wait 8+ hours for a charge.
Choosing the right location
Selecting the right spot for your EV charger installation is crucial. Most homeowners choose their garage or the side of their house closest to where they park their car. It’s important to consider factors like the distance to the electrical panel and exposure to elements if it’s installed outside.
Assessing your electrical system
Before installing a Level 2 charger, ensure your home’s electrical system can handle the additional load. This might mean upgrading your electrical panel or adding a dedicated circuit. Consulting with a licensed electrical contractor like King Electric, LLC, who is highly experienced in EV Installations, can provide you with peace of mind that your system not only meets local code requirements but is also safe.
