EV charger installation
Level 1 and Level 2 charger installation for homes and businesses, 120 volt and 240 volt, wired to a panel that can carry it.
Most homes end up with a Level 2 charger. It runs at 240 volts, delivers somewhere between 6.2 and 19.2 kW depending on the unit, and works with almost every electric car on the road. A Level 1 charger plugs into an ordinary outlet and adds about 4 miles of range for every hour it runs, which is 11 to 20 hours for a full charge. That difference is usually the whole decision.
The charger is the simple part. The question underneath it is whether your panel has room for a dedicated 240 volt circuit, so that is the first thing we look at. Call and describe what you have and we can give you an estimate over the phone, then a firm one once we have seen the panel.
Level 3 is the commercial one. It charges a car in roughly 30 to 60 minutes, costs more to put in, and needs extensive testing before it goes live. If you are putting chargers in for a business or a fleet, email the plans and we will bid it.
EV charger installation: common questions
Do you install Level 1 and Level 2 chargers?
Yes. Level 1 and Level 2 EV charging stations at 120 volts and 240 volts, residential or commercial. Level 3 for commercial sites.
Will my existing panel handle a charger?
That is the first thing to check. A Level 2 charger wants a dedicated 240 volt circuit, and an older panel often has no room left for one. We look at the panel before we quote the charger, and if it needs upgrading first you will hear that first.
