What is EV Charger Installation?
EV charger installation is the complete process of selecting, installing, and connecting a dedicated electric vehicle charging station at your home to safely and efficiently charge your EV. Professional installation involves assessing your electrical panel capacity to ensure adequate power availability, calculating electrical loads to determine if panel upgrades are needed, installing a dedicated 240-volt circuit with appropriate wire sizing and breaker protection, running electrical conduit and wiring from your panel to the charging location, mounting the charging station securely on walls or posts, connecting and testing the charger for proper operation, ensuring proper grounding and GFCI protection, obtaining necessary electrical permits and inspections, and verifying code compliance with local electrical requirements. Unlike standard 120-volt outlets that take days to fully charge electric vehicles, Level 2 charging stations operating at 240 volts deliver 25-50 miles of range per hour of charging, typically fully charging most EVs overnight.
