Choosing the Right EV Charger for Your Home

Selecting the best charger for your electric vehicle depends on your specific car, your driving habits, and your home's electrical setup. Understanding the different types available is the first step in creating a convenient and efficient home charging system that works for you.

Here is a breakdown of the most common options:

• Level 1 Chargers: These use a standard 120-volt wall outlet and come with most electric vehicles. While they do not require special installation, they are very slow, adding only 3-5 miles of range per hour of charging.
• Level 2 Chargers: This is the most popular and practical solution for home charging. Operating on 240 volts, these chargers can add 25-60 miles of range per hour, easily providing a full charge overnight. Installation of a dedicated 240-volt circuit by a qualified electrician is required.
• Hardwired vs. Plug-In: Level 2 chargers are available as hardwired units, which are permanently connected to the circuit, or as plug-in models that connect to a 240-volt outlet. A plug-in model offers more flexibility if you plan to move the charger in the future.
• Smart Chargers: Modern chargers often include Wi-Fi connectivity. This allows you to use a smartphone app to schedule charging sessions during off-peak utility hours to save money, track your energy use, and manage your charging from anywhere.

A professional electrician can help you assess your needs and select the best and most cost-effective charger for your lifestyle.

How long does a typical EV charger installation take?

A standard installation in a garage can often be completed in just a few hours. More complex installations that require longer wiring runs or a panel upgrade may take longer. We will provide a clear timeline with your free estimate.
