What Is an EV Charger?

An EV charger is a device that supplies power to recharge electric vehicles (EVs) at home or commercial locations. Home EV chargers connect to your electrical system, allowing for faster and more convenient charging compared to standard wall outlets. Installing a dedicated EV charger ensures your vehicle is always ready to go.

What Are the Different Levels of EV Charging?

There are three levels of EV charging: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 (DC Fast Charging). Level 1 uses a standard 120V outlet but charges slowly, while Level 2 uses a 240V connection for much faster charging. Level 3 chargers, often found at commercial charging stations, provide rapid charging but are not typically installed in homes.

Why Should I Install a Level 2 EV Charger at Home?

A Level 2 EV charger charges up to 6-10 times faster than a standard wall outlet, making it ideal for daily use. It provides a full charge overnight, ensuring your EV is ready each morning. Many homeowners install Level 2 chargers to reduce reliance on public charging stations and improve convenience.

Can I Install a Tesla Charger at Home?

Yes, Tesla home chargers, such as the Tesla Wall Connector, are designed for efficient, high-speed charging at home. A Tesla-certified electrician can install the charger to ensure compatibility with your electrical panel. Tesla chargers can also be installed with adapters to work with other EV brands if needed.

How Much Does It Cost to Install an EV Charger at Home?

The cost of installation depends on factors such as wiring, electrical panel capacity , and charger type. Basic installations range from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars, especially if electrical upgrades are needed. A professional electrician can provide an estimate based on your home’s setup and charging needs.

Do I Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade for an EV Charger?

If your home’s electrical panel does not have enough capacity to support a Level 2 charger, an upgrade may be necessary. Older homes with limited available amperage may require additional circuit breakers or a higher-capacity panel. An electrician can assess your panel and recommend the best solution.

Are EV Chargers Compatible With All Electric Vehicles?

Most Level 2 chargers use a universal J1772 connector, which works with nearly all electric vehicles except Tesla, which requires an adapter. Tesla chargers, like the Tesla Wall Connector, are designed specifically for Tesla vehicles but can be adapted for other EVs. Checking compatibility before installation ensures the best performance for your car.

Should I Hire a Professional to Install My EV Charger?

Yes, EV charger installation involves high-voltage wiring, circuit breaker adjustments, and compliance with electrical codes. A licensed electrician ensures safe installation, proper grounding, and optimal charger placement. Professional installation protects your investment and guarantees reliable, efficient charging.

I would like to give a huge Thank you to Roy’s and these wonderful men and the team that helped install my and my tenant’s furnace and water tanks. I originally called in because my tenants furnace died and figured to just replace them both then I woke up the next morning and my water tanks was leaking so I decided to replace both of those also since they were both the same age and old. These men were very informative, patient, polite and so were all the employees who answered the phone wherever I called. I will recommend Roy’s to all home owners I come across. Also as a landlord and working a full time job they were very cooperative with me on my schedule and with allowing someone I know to be there on my behalf to get the projects I needed done. Oh and they finance! Jamie Tulumello, Frank Aquino, Christian Fisher, and Bob Pollak.

Roy’s installed a new electrical panel and re-did all the wires coming into the box. We had a dedicated plug set up for the sump pump as the precious owner had it plugged into a power strip. They added a GFI outlet in the garage and plug for the garage door opener. Precious owner had it rigged with an extension cord. We had a team of 3 men from Roy’s, Noah, Nick and Stephen who were professional and did a great job. Still more things to be done.
