Choose the Right EV Charger

Charging your vehicle at home can be a breeze with electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE). This car charger is responsible for supplying your vehicle's battery with all the "juice" it needs to keep running.

Most residential customers place this charger in the garage, where the car will likely be parked most of the time. With a long enough cord, garage chargers allow you to conveniently charge the vehicle while it's parked in your driveway, too. Most chargers are permanent, though some can be modified so that you can move them with you if you sell your home. Having a home charger not only adds convenience but also increases the value of your property, making it an attractive feature for potential buyers who drive EVs.

In addition to the installation location, we help you decide:

  • Type of plug: Except for Teslas, EVs use an SAE-standard J1772 to plug into the charging stations. Teslas require a slightly different connection, which we also can install. Knowing the correct plug type ensures compatibility and avoids unnecessary installation headaches.
  • Charger level: Level 1 chargers are lower voltage, really only efficient for electric golf carts. We're likely to recommend you go with a Level 2 charger to help cut down charging time and deliver the best voltage to your vehicle. Level 2 chargers are optimal for daily use, providing a faster charge without compromising the energy efficiency of your home or business.
  • Amperage: The higher the amps, the faster and more efficiently your car will charge. An optimal amp setting prolongs battery life by delivering charge at a rate that matches your vehicle's specifications.
 

With a quick calculation from ElectricMan, we can tell you what the highest option available is without going over your home or business's amperage limit. Going over that limit may cause unnecessary repairs, so we will make sure your charger provides the appropriate amperage. Our detailed assessment includes evaluating your electrical panel’s capacity and suggesting upgrades if needed to accommodate higher power chargers safely.

Electric vehicle charging ports depend on safely wired outlets. This electricity supplies a dangerous amount of energy, so don't try to install it yourself! We protect both you and your vehicle by making sure your new charging station is wired safely and to code. Trusting professionals with the installation also ensures compliance with local regulations and codes, avoiding potential compliance issues and penalties. Our team is trained to handle intricate electrical setups, which contributes to a seamless and hazard-free installation experience.

FAQ: EV Charger Installation

What Are the Benefits of Installing an EV Charger at Home?

Installing an EV charger at home offers several advantages, including convenience, cost savings, and increased property value. The ease of plugging in at home eliminates the need to visit external charging stations, saving time and effort. Additionally, the cost per kilowatt-hour of electricity tends to be lower than gas prices, offering long-term savings for EV owners. A home EV charger can also enhance your property's marketability, appealing to environmentally conscious buyers who prioritize sustainability. Overall, home installations ensure an uninterrupted power supply, allowing for overnight charging and reducing reliance on public charging networks.

How Long Does It Take to Install an EV Charger?

The installation of an EV charger typically takes a few hours, depending on the complexity of the electrical setup and whether any additional upgrades are required. Prior to installation, an assessment of your electrical system is conducted to ensure it can support the new charger. If your system is already prepared, the process is straightforward, involving securing the charger and connecting it to your existing electrical infrastructure. However, if additional work, such as panel upgrades, is needed, it may extend the timeframe. ElectricMan aims to complete installations efficiently, with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

What Types of EV Chargers Are Best for Garland Residents?

For residents of Garland, Level 2 chargers are highly recommended due to their balance of cost and efficiency. These chargers provide a significant improvement over Level 1 chargers with faster charging times, making them ideal for overnight charging at home. Factors such as your driving habits, the distance of your daily commute, and your home's electrical capacity should influence your charger choice. Additionally, opting for chargers compatible with multiple vehicle types can future-proof your investment, ensuring that any future vehicle upgrades remain supported and cost-effective.

Can I Install a Tesla Charger Myself?

While it might be tempting to consider self-installation for a Tesla charger, it is highly recommended to have a professional handle the setup. Installing a Tesla charger involves complicated electrical work that requires specialized tools and an understanding of both local and national electrical codes. A misstep could not only void your Tesla warranty but also pose serious safety risks. At ElectricMan, our team is trained to handle these installations safely, ensuring they meet all regulatory requirements and optimize for performance. Professionals also provide peace of mind by guaranteeing that all work is done to the highest standard, protecting both your vehicle and home.
