EV charger installation involves setting up a charging station at a residential or commercial property to recharge electric vehicles (EVs). Here are a few things to consider:
1. Assessment and Planning:
- Electrical Capacity: Evaluating the property's electrical system to ensure it can support the charger's power requirements without overloading existing circuits.
- Location: Selecting an appropriate location for the charger based on accessibility, proximity to the EV parking spot, and compliance with local regulations.
2. Equipment Selection:
- Charger Type: Choosing between Level 1 (120 volts) or Level 2 (240 volts) chargers based on the vehicle's charging capabilities and charging speed requirements.
- Smart Chargers: Opting for smart chargers that offer features like scheduling, monitoring, and integration with smart home systems.
3. Installation Process:
- Electrical Wiring: Running new wiring from the electrical panel to the charger location, ensuring it meets electrical code requirements and safety standards.
- Mounting and Installation: Mounting the charger unit securely and connecting it to the electrical supply, including any necessary grounding and bonding.
- Permitting: Obtaining necessary permits and scheduling inspections to ensure compliance with local building codes and regulations.
4. Testing and Commissioning:
- Functionality Testing: Testing the charger to ensure it operates correctly and charges the EV effectively.
- Safety Checks: Conducting safety checks to verify proper installation, grounding, and protection against electrical faults.
5. Benefits of EV Charger Installation:
- Convenience: Enables convenient charging at home or work, eliminating the need for frequent trips to public charging stations.
- Cost Savings: Reduces fuel costs compared to gasoline-powered vehicles and often qualifies for utility rebates or incentives.
- Environmental Impact: Promotes sustainability by reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with transportation.
EV charger installation should be carried out by licensed electricians with experience in handling high-voltage electrical systems to ensure safety and compliance. Proper installation and maintenance contribute to the longevity and efficiency of both the EV charger and the electrical infrastructure supporting it.

Should I Get an EV Charger in My Home? Does My Home Qualify?
Some time soon every house in America will need an EV Charger.
As you probably already know, your EV can be charged with a standard 120 volt outlet. However, the time it takes to fully charge will be lengthy. In order to charge your new ride in a realistic amount of time you will need a larger circuit that delivers more juice. EV chargers typically require a 240 volt, 50 amp circuit. Depending on how your house is constructed, it can be tricky or fairly straight forward to get an outlet where you need it.
Finished basements with the breaker panel on the opposite side of the house will require more time and effort to route the circuit. Unfinished basements make the installation much easier. Every job is unique, that's why we offer free on-site consultations along with your estimate.
