EV Charger Installation
Install a Charging Station at Home with Our Expert Electricians!
As electric vehicles (EVs) become increasingly popular and advanced, the demand for convenient home charging solutions continues to grow. Charging an electric car from a standard household socket can be slow and inconvenient. That’s why Mister Electrics offers professional EV charger installation services, making it easier than ever to charge your electric vehicle at home. Our experienced electricians will help you set up a home charging station that provides a faster, more reliable charging experience than standard outlets.
Types of EV Chargers
An electric vehicle’s charging speed depends on two main factors: your home’s electrical supply and the type of EV charger you use. EV chargers are classified into three levels:
Level 1 Chargers: These come standard with most electric vehicles and use a home’s regular 230-volt outlets. They are best suited for slow, overnight charging.
Level 2 Chargers: These chargers require a dedicated 7kW or 22kW circuit and professional installation. They offer much faster charging, adding approximately 30 miles (50 km) of range per hour. Level 2 chargers are the most popular choice for home use.
Level 3 Chargers: Also known as rapid chargers, these are the fastest chargers available, capable of charging an EV battery to 80% in just 30 minutes. However, they require a three-phase power supply and are typically not suitable for home installation.
Choosing the Right EV Charger for Your Home
Selecting the right EV charger is crucial for meeting your charging needs. While some may find a Level 1 charger sufficient for overnight charging, many homeowners prefer the speed and convenience of a Level 2 charger.
When you schedule an installation with us, our expert electricians will assist you with:
Assessing your home’s capacity to support a Level 2 charger
Selecting the right charger for your specific vehicle model
Upgrading your electrical systems if necessary to ensure safe operation
Installing your EV charger according to the latest regulations and standards
What Amperage Do I Need for My EV Charger?
For a Level 2 charger, you’ll typically need a 32-amp or 40-amp circuit. If your home’s electrical system isn’t sufficient to support this, you may need to consider an upgrade. We recommend ensuring that your home has a suitable electrical supply to handle the demands of the charger alongside your other household needs.
When you choose Mister Electrics for your EV charger installation, you can expect prompt, friendly service from highly-trained professionals. We take pride in doing the job right the first time and offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee for your peace of mind.
