Electric is the future of driving! As EVs become the norm, more people need reliable home charging solutions. Mister Sparky® is here to make your transition to electric smooth with expert EV charger installation. Ditch slow standard outlets—our skilled electricians offers dedicated EV charger installation services in your West Chicagoland home for faster, easier charging.
Types of EV Chargers
Two main factors affect how quickly your electric vehicle can charge: the electrical capacity of your home and the type of charger you choose. EV chargers exist in three levels, with level one as the slowest and level three as the quickest.
Level 1 Chargers
Level 1 chargers are included when you purchase an EV and plug directly into a standard home outlet. These are well-suited for topping up your battery overnight while your car isn't in use.
Level 2 Chargers
Level 2 chargers offer significantly faster charging than standard outlets, but they do need professional installation. Since they draw more power, a licensed electrician should set up a specific 240-volt circuit. For every hour your car is plugged in, you can see up to 70 additional range miles—making Level 2 the preferred choice for charging at home.
Level 3 Chargers
Level 3 chargers deliver lightning-fast charging speeds, adding miles of range in mere minutes! However, they need a robust power supply that most homes lack. While these chargers are ideal for public charging stations, they might not be feasible for your garage.
Choosing the Right EV Charger
Choosing the right home EV charger depends on your lifestyle. Overnight charging with a Level 1 charger could be perfect for some. Those with a busier schedule or longer commutes might find that a Level 2 charger offers a more convenient and adaptable charging solution.
Let's make charging your electric car easy and convenient! Our expert EV charger installation team in West Chicagoland will handle everything, including:
- Assessing your home's electrical setup for safe support of a level 2 charger.
- Helping you find the perfect charger to match your vehicle.
- Performing any necessary upgrades to ensure reliable operation.
- Installing your home EV charger in full compliance.
- And more!
What Amperage Do I Need on My Breaker Panel for EV Charger Installation?
If your home's electrical service is 100 amps or less, a Level 2 charger might overload your system. To avoid any issues, we often recommend upgrading to a 200 amp electrical service for the best results. Our local West Chicagoland electricians will arrive ready to work and provide the expert installation you expect. We guarantee you'll be happy with the results!
