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.

The technician showed up early and quickly diagnosed the problem. He explained what he needed to do to fix the furnace and got right to work. I found the technician to be very professional and skilled. On top of that, he was very courteous. We have been Roy’s customers for many years and are never disappointed. Their annual service contract is a bargain too.

Highly recommend. They are very knowledgeable, honest and transparent. Roger. P came over super professional and experienced technician took him less than ten minutes to figure out the whole system without a sweat. He explain to me the diagnostic in a very simple way. Although it's a very old system they didn't force me to replace the system. When the time comes, I will definitely replace my heating system with roy's.

This was our second time using Roy’s and I’m so glad we did! When I reached out for an appointment we had a simple leak and by the time the appointment came it had gotten much worse. Matthew was extremely knowledgeable and just by my notes was already expecting the issue at hand. Just like our last issue, it was quick, efficient and very up front and honest. After the appointment Matthew was so nice and answered all my questions about what to do going forward, and his opinion on our plumbing situation. It is so nice knowing we can call Roy’s and have great work done and don’t have to worry about being upsold or told “possible future problems” and attempt to be sold on something we don’t need. They really care about their customers and it truly shows!
