If you're new to electric vehicles or own a hybrid, a Level 1 EV charger may be a good starting point. These chargers are ideal for most electric vehicles, particularly for hybrid models, as they provide dependable charging without the need for specialized electrical upgrades. Level 1 chargers operate using a standard 120-volt AC outlet, the same type of outlet found in most homes. This makes installation easy and affordable, with no need for major electrical work.
Their widespread compatibility makes them a popular option among homeowners who are making the shift to electric vehicles for the first time. With a Level 1 charger, you can count on reliable charging without significant changes to your electrical system. However, it's important to note that Level 1 chargers can be quite slow in charging an EV. If you're looking for faster charging times and a more convenient experience, a Level 2 charger would be a better choice.
For those seeking faster, more efficient charging, Level 2 chargers are the way to go. These chargers provide significantly quicker charging times compared to Level 1 chargers, allowing you to fully charge your EV in a fraction of the time. Level 2 chargers operate using a 240-volt NEMA 14-50 outlet or may be hard wired to a wall charger which delivers more power to the vehicle, making them essential for EVs with larger battery capacities. Our electricians can install any EVSE (electric vehicle supply equipment) but common ones utilized in 2024 include the Tesla Universal Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, Emporia 48-amp, Grizzle-E, Wallbox Pulsar Plus, JuiceBox 40, Ford Connected Charge Station, BMW Wallbox, Mercedes-Benz Wallbox, Rivian Wall Charger, GM Ultium PowerUp and more.
While Level 2 chargers require a professional installation and an upgrade to your electrical system, they offer the convenience of rapid charging, making them a great fit for busy households and drivers who cover more miles each day. With their higher voltage output, Level 2 chargers can support a wide range of electric vehicles, from hybrids to fully electric cars, and ensure that your EV is ready to go whenever you are.
Whether you're upgrading from a Level 1 charger or installing your first charging station, a Level 2 charger offers the speed and efficiency needed to keep your electric vehicle powered up and ready for the road.
Not all homes are equipped to handle the additional electrical load required for fast EV charging, especially when installing a Level 2 charger. In some cases, your existing electrical panel may need an upgrade to safely accommodate the increased demand.

We begin with a thorough professional assessment, including an electrical load calculation, to determine whether your current system can manage the extra power needed for efficient vehicle charging.
