Understanding the Installation Process

The process of installing an EV charger at home involves several steps, starting with assessing your electrical system's capacity. Most homes can support Level 1 chargers, which use a standard 120-volt outlet, but for faster charging, a Level 2 charger is recommended. Level 2 chargers require a 240-volt outlet, similar to those used for large appliances like dryers or ovens.

Hiring a licensed electrician is crucial to ensure the installation is done safely and in compliance with local codes. The electrician will evaluate your electrical panel's capacity and may suggest upgrades if necessary. Once the setup is ready, the actual installation of the charger is typically straightforward and can be completed in just a few hours.
