Installing an EV charger at home is more than just plugging into a wall outlet. Homeowners must consider electrical panel capacity, charger types, and installation costs.
Level 1 chargers are standard but slow, taking over 24 hours for a full charge. In contrast, Level 2 chargers require a 240V outlet, reducing charging time to just a few hours. Professional installation ensures safety, compliance with local codes, and optimal performance.
Factors like breaker panel upgrades and permitting requirements may affect costs, but federal and state incentives can offset expenses. Choosing a qualified installer ensures seamless setup and long-term reliability.
