Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a Level 2 EV charger at home in California?
Yes, in fact, new homes in California are required to have these chargers.
What’s the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 electric vehicle chargers?
Level 1 operates on ordinary 120v power and takes much longer to charge your vehicle than Level 2. Level 2 chargers are much more efficient, but they require dedicated 240v power, at least 50 amps or more.
Do I need a permit to install a residential EV charger in California?
Permits are generally required for major electrical projects.
How long does it take to install a home EV charging station?
Most EV charger installations can be completed in a few hours, depending on your electrical panel and wiring setup. More complex installations may take longer if upgrades are needed, but we always provide a clear timeline during your consultation.
Will installing an EV charger increase my home’s electrical load?
Yes, a Level 2 EV charger will increase your home’s electrical demand. In some cases, your panel may need to be upgraded to safely handle the additional load. We evaluate your system and recommend the best solution for safe and efficient charging.
