Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Installing Level 2 EV Chargers at Home
​
Q1: What is a Level 2 EV charger, and why should I consider installing one at home?
A1: A Level 2 EV charger is a charging station that operates on a 240-volt circuit and provides faster charging compared to a standard household outlet (Level 1 charger). Installing a Level 2 charger at home ensures quicker charging times, making it convenient for your daily EV use.
Q2: Do I need a professional electrician to install a Level 2 EV charger at my home?
A2: Yes, it's highly recommended to hire a licensed electrician for the installation of a Level 2 EV charger. They will ensure the proper wiring, safety protocols, and compliance with local electrical codes, guaranteeing a safe and efficient charging setup.
Q3: Is my home's electrical panel compatible with a Level 2 charger?
A3: Your electrician will assess your home's electrical panel to determine its compatibility. Most Level 2 chargers require a dedicated 240-volt circuit, so your electrical panel should have the capacity to support this additional load without overloading the system.
Q4: How long does it take to install a Level 2 EV charger at home?
A4: The installation time can vary based on your home's wiring, the distance between the electrical panel and the charging location, and any specific requirements of the charger. On average, professional installation takes a few hours to complete.
Q4: How much does it cost to have a charger installed at my home?
The installation cost varies depending on the distance from the panel to the charger. For instance, if your panel is situated in the garage where your car is parked, and we can install the charger within 3 feet of the panel, the price is $539.99. If your panel is in the basement, and the basement is unfinished with the panel within 12 feet of the garage wall, the cost is $849.99.
