Electric car charger installation is a great way to save money on electricity costs while contributing to a cleaner environment. However, you need to know some important details before making a purchase and having it installed.

The first step is to choose a location for the charger. The charging station should be a place where it will be easily accessible for the driver and also protected from weather. It should also be close to the electrical panel and have a 240-volt outlet of the proper amperage configuration. Your electrician will check the electrical panel to ensure it can handle the additional load and may recommend upgrades if needed.

There are different levels of EV chargers, which vary in speed and charging capacity. Level 1 chargers, which plug into a 120 V outlet, provide 2 to 5 miles of range per hour and can charge an EV in several days. Level 2 chargers require a dedicated 240 volt circuit and outlets and can refill an EV in about half the time. These are the chargers you will find in home garages, public parking lots, and workplaces. Level 3 chargers are the fastest and can fill a vehicle in 30-60 minutes. You will usually find these at highway rest stops and other public places.
