What You Need To Charge Electric Vehicles at Home

Charging an EV at your house requires specialized equipment. Experienced electricians need to install these correctly and safely to ensure the can accurately charge your vehicle.
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 and a dedicated branch circuit—making it a convenient option. Level 1 EVSE is ideal for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and EVs. It 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.
