It’s Electric! Plan Ahead For Your EV Charger Install

No one likes sitting on a waiting list—even if it is for the latest electric vehicle (EV). Whether you’re on the waitlist for your Tesla Model 3 or ready to drive home your Volkswagen ID.4, you will need a fast charge from home. 

Prep your home for fast at-home charging by scheduling your electric vehicle’s charging station installation today. 

Trust Us—You Want the Upgraded Charging Station

While you can use a standard 120v outlet for some EVs—you won’t want to. It’s inefficient and extremely time-consuming (8-12 hours for a full charge!) 

An upgraded 240v charger can give you a charge in half the time. Installation takes only 2 hours, and costs start at $500. 

4 Things to Consider When Planning to Install an Electric Car Charger

Know Your Charger’s Specs

EV chargers are different for every car. We need to know the specifics of your charger in order to proceed with the install:

  • Charger configuration (plug-in or hardwired) 

  • Voltage of your charger 

  • Amps your charger uses 

Garage Placement is Key

Consider where you want your charger installed based on these important factors:

  • Length of the charging cord 

  • Proximity of charging port on vehicle (consider whether you will pull in or back into the garage) 

  • How many chargers you need 

Your Panel Might Need an Upgrade 

When we install chargers, we often find that the electrical panel needs an upgrade to accommodate the additional load. This may mean adding a subpanel or replacing the panel itself, which will add additional cost to the project. 

Plan Ahead—Lead Times Are Long 

After waiting months and months for your vehicle, the last thing you want is to wait on the charging station installation. 

Schedule your service ASAP, so the charging station is up and running when you finally bring your vehicle home.
