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.

Josh B and Jeremiah V were great. I needed the annual checkup & cleaning of my tankless water heater. They arrived and completed the work within the given arrival window. They were knowledgeable, thorough, and mindful of the area they were working in. They inspected the water heater and Josh explained everything before they started work. Josh answered my questions and made sure I understood and was comfortable with all tasks before they started work. Josh B and Tyler R installed a HALO water filtration system and did a great job. It’s a two day install. Both days they arrived on time, explained everything they were going to do before starting, and made sure I understood the every step of the process. Would definitely recommend Roy’s and these technicians.

I had water in my basement and they came same day to evaluate the situation. They were honest with me about the potential cause of the water and all of my options for remediation. I chose to have my sewer line jetted. They removed and replaced a very old, rusty cap and jetted the line. It took 30 minutes and they were done. I'm very pleased with the service and timely response. I would highly recommend.
