Electric Vehicle Charger Installation

• A Level 1 EVSE charger installation is not much of an installation at all. These chargers plug into a standard 120-volt outlet. However, they’re slow. These only add about 3 to 5 miles of range per hour.
• Level 2 chargers are far more efficient but require an electrician to create a dedicated outlet with 240 volts. They can add 20-35 miles of range per hour depending on the vehicle and battery. These are the most common choices for an EV charger installation at home.
• Level 3 chargers, also known as DC fast chargers, are the fastest option available at the moment. These are capable of delivering an 80% charge in as little as 30 minutes. 

It’s worth mentioning that a level 3 electric vehicle charger station installation is typically restricted to commercial use due to its higher cost and power requirements. Most residential areas cannot provide the DC fast charging option.

The Benefits for Homeowners

Charging your EV at home means you can start each day with a full battery. This can eliminate range anxiety and make your daily commute stress-free. Plus, charging at home is often cheaper than using public charging stations – especially if you take advantage of off-peak electricity rates.
Finally, an EV charger installation in Los Angeles might end up paying for itself through the savings mentioned above as well as the potential boost in your property value. Prospective homebuyers and tenants will appreciate the charging station on the property.
