EV Car Charger Installation Process
When it comes to installing an EV charger, one of the great advantages is the flexibility of location. Whether you want the charging unit inside your garage or mounted outside, you have the freedom to choose the spot that’s most convenient for you. Generally, a location inside the garage close to the electrical panel is the preferred option for many homeowners due to ease of wiring and protection from the elements. Our team is here to offer guidance and expertise to help determine the most practical and effective location for your charger.
Mounting EV Charger & Wiring
The installation process for an EV charger involves planning the most efficient route from your electrical panel to the charger’s location. This considers the distance and any obstacles in the path. We then install a protective conduit along this route, through which the electrical wire is run. This wire, protected by the conduit, carries the electrical current from your panel to the EV charger. After securely connecting one end of the wire to a dedicated breaker in your panel and the other to your EV charger, we conduct a thorough testing process to ensure everything functions correctly. Working with electrical systems requires expertise and safety precautions, which is why it is essential to have such work handled by licensed professionals.
Level 1 vs Level 2 Charging:
Electric vehicles have different levels and types of charging that use different voltages and amperages to run. There are three levels of charging for electric vehicles. Typically, level 1 and level 2 are used for at-home charging.
Level 1: This is a charge that uses a standard 120 Volt household outlet. It’s the slowest speed of charging for an electric vehicle. 120 Volts 15Amp or 20Amp Level 2: Level 2 charging stations have about the same requirements as a household appliance like a stove or dryer. 240 Volts 30 Amp, 40 Amp or 60 Amp Level 2 offers a faster charging time than level 1. Level 3: Level 3 charging stations are designed for commercial use and are not suitable for home installation.
