What is an EV Charger?

​

An electric vehicle charging station is equipment that connects an electric vehicle (EV) to a source of electricity to recharge electric cars, neighborhood electric vehicles, and plug-in hybrids. To the left was one of our more recent Tesla installs, and at the very bottom is a slideshow of a few of our other EV installations.

Level 1 equipment provides charging through a common residential 120-volt (120V) AC outlet. most Level 1 chargers can take 40-50+ hours to charge a BEV to 80 percent from emptyMost electric vehicles come with a 120v charger that works with a standard outlet.

 

Level 2 EV Charger

A level 2 charger (Smart Chargers) allows you to charge your electric car 5 to 7 times faster for a full-electric car . These are typically fed by breakers such as double pole 50 and 60 amps. examples of smart chargers are Tesla, Blink, and Charge pointCharge time from empty to 80% can take 4-10 hours on tesla chargers

 

Ev Charging Installations

​

We install all EV chargers ranging from residential to commercial installations. Every installation is unique to the area it's being installed in whether it needs conduit/pipe, ran in a crawl space, outside, or even in a parking lot. regardless of your installation needs, we will custom-tailor a plan of action specific to your needs.

 

Surge Protectors

​

Surge protectors are an optional but important add-on that should be carefully considered whenever buying an EV is on the table. Surge protectors prevent electronics from being damaged by electrical surges often impossible to prevent. With that being said, We've seen EV batteries and the chargers themselves rendered inoperable and in need of replacements due to surges. Considering the staggering cost of Chargers and EV batteries, Surge protectors can a cheap way of protecting such investments. We offer them with every installation as an optional add on.
