Best Home EV Charger

he choice for the best home EV charger station varies upon the type of battery of the car, how many miles the car drives per day, and how long do you have available to charge it. In a nutshell, if you drive a lot and don’t spend too much time at home, you want to make sure you have a more powerful output able to charge your car overnight within 6-10 hours for example. That is called a Level 2 EV charger. This is clearly the best type for most EV owners. The cost of the materials and installation is actually pretty small when you compare it with how much time it will free you every day for years to come.

Best Home EV Charger Brand

You may have heard of most of these brands: Bosh, Instavolt, Tesla, ChargePoint, EVBox, Siemens, etc. Tesla is probably the most well-known for everyone. Some are faster than others. Even though they are Level 2 chargers, their price and the cost of installation will vary.

Level 1 EV Charger

The Level 1 charger is the standard option for everyone (110 volt). Basically, you just connect the plug that comes with your car to your GFCI outlet in your garage. In this case you ay need our help to ensure that your current electrical panel is able to supply the demand from the EV charging. Some people upgrade the main panel, and/or add a subpanel to the garage. Other need to add a new outlet all together and/or make sure it is GFCI.

Level 2 EV Charger

The Level 2 EV charger is more powerful, and therefore faster to charge (240 volt). When choosing this type, we will install an EVSE unit to your wall and install the electrical wiring capable of handling higher voltage power. It is also common to do a whole house surge protection in this cases. In this case, look for an experienced electrician such as our crew.

Installing 240v Outlet for Electric Car

You will need a more powerful outlet (240 volts) with a dedicated circuit. The power will be converted and stored in the car’s battery sometimes as fast as 3-12hours, depending on the battery and the charger itself.

Level 3 EV Charger

The Level 3 EV Charger is commercial. It generally provides 80 percent charge to the battery in only 20-30 minutes. It does so by converting high voltage AC power to DC power effectively.
