EV CHarger

Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Installation

EV chargers must be installed by an electrician who is familiar with this. The charger requires 240 volts, which is not the typical outlet in a home or garage. An electrician must determine whether your existing electric panel can handle the new circuit. There are two common types of chargers:

​

Level 1 Charger

This uses a standard 120-volt outlet and doesn't require special installation, though it charges slowly.

Level 2 Charger

This requires a 240-volt outlet, which usually needs a professional installation by an electrician. It charges the vehicle much faster than Level 1 chargers.
 

The installation process generally involves​

​

• Choosing the right location for the charger.

• Ensuring electrical capacity is available (sometimes needing an upgrade to your existing electrical system).

• Mounting the charging unit securely.

• Wiring the unit and ensuring compliance with local electrical codes.
