What You Need To Charge Electric Vehicles at Home
It’s essential to hire an experienced electrician to install your electric vehicle charging station. There is certain equipment you need to install, and it needs to be done correctly to ensure it works correctly and safely.
An electrical contractor can help you determine if you need Level 1 electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) or Level 2 EVSE. The differences between these two systems are:
- Level 1 EVSE: This does not require any special equipment – just an outlet to plug into and a dedicated branch circuit, making it a convenient option. Level 1 EVSE is ideal for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and EVs. This adds 2 to 5 miles of range to the vehicle for every hour of charging time.
- Level 2 EVSE: This can be less convenient to install than a Level 1 EVSE, but it can provide 10 to 60 miles of range for each hour of charging time. Because this charges through a 240 V AC plug, it needs a dedicated electrical circuit of 20 to 100 amps. An electrician can install this, ensuring all local requirements and permits are met.
