Why Install a Level 2 EV Charger at Home?
A standard wall outlet may work for slow charging, but most homeowners prefer a Level 2 EV charger because it charges much faster and is more practical for everyday use.
A Level 2 EV charger may be a good choice if:
- You drive your electric vehicle every day
- Your current outlet charges too slowly
- You want faster charging at home
- You do not want to rely only on public charging stations
- You want a cleaner and safer charging setup
- You are preparing your home for future electric vehicle use
Does Your Electrical Panel Have Enough Capacity?
Not every home is ready for an EV charger without checking the electrical system first. Some homes may need a dedicated circuit, a larger breaker, load management, or an electrical panel upgrade before a charger can be installed safely.
You may need an electrical upgrade if:
- Your electrical panel is already full
- Your breakers trip often
- Your home has an older electrical panel
- You currently have a 100 amp service
- You are adding other large electrical loads
- You are planning to add a generator, hot tub, addition, or HVAC upgrade
- Your current electrical system cannot safely support the charger load
Scales Electrical Service can inspect your panel and explain your options clearly. If your home needs more capacity, we can discuss solutions such as a panel upgrade, service upgrade, or load management device.
Our EV Charger Installation Process
1. Electrical Evaluation
We review your electrical panel, available breaker space, service size, charger requirements, and the best location for your EV charger.
2. Charger and Circuit Planning
We determine the correct circuit size, wiring method, breaker type, and installation layout based on your charger and your home.
3. Safe Installation
We install the wiring, breaker, outlet, or hardwired charging station according to electrical code and manufacturer requirements.
4. Final Testing
After installation, we test the circuit and charging setup to make sure everything is working properly.
Where Can an EV Charger Be Installed?
EV chargers can often be installed in several locations around the home depending on your electrical panel, parking setup, charger requirements, and where you park your vehicle.
Common EV charger locations include:
- Attached garages
- Detached garages
- Carports
- Driveways
- Exterior walls
- New home additions
- Workshops or outbuildings with proper power
The best location usually depends on how far the charger is from the electrical panel, whether the charger will be installed indoors or outdoors, and what type of charging setup your home can safely support.
EV Charger Wiring for New Construction, Garages, and Additions
If you are building a new home, garage, addition, or renovation, it is a good time to plan for EV charging. Adding EV-ready wiring during construction can make future charger installation easier and more cost-effective.
Scales Electrical Service can help with EV-ready wiring for new homes, garage additions, detached garages, home renovations, 200 amp services, 400 amp services, and electrical service upgrades.
Planning ahead can help your home handle future electrical needs, including EV chargers, generators, hot tubs, upgraded HVAC systems, and smart home equipment.
