Professional EV Charger Installation in Arvada
Setting up an EV charger station at home provides a dependable charging solution, especially when upgrading to a Level 2 charger. Many EV owners begin with a Level 1 charger, which plugs into a standard 120V outlet and requires nearly 24 hours for a full charge. While this can work for low-mileage drivers, most EV owners benefit from the faster power of a Level 2 charger, which connects to a 240V outlet and delivers a full charge in just a few hours. This speed ensures that even after a full day of driving, your EV will be ready to go by morning.
The advantages of a Level 2 charger extend beyond just charging speed. Many Level 2 models come with features that streamline management, such as mobile app connectivity and the ability to schedule charging during off-peak hours. This kind of control can lower energy costs and make the charging process more flexible to fit daily schedules. Plus, Level 2 chargers work with nearly all EV models, so they’re ideal for use with multiple vehicles or workplaces offering EV charging.
Installing a Level 2 charger requires specific electrical modifications. Since a dedicated 240V circuit is necessary, this setup might mean adjusting your home’s or business’s existing electrical system. Our approach includes a thorough evaluation of your electrical panel and wiring to handle any upgrades or adjustments needed. With faster charging and greater control, a Level 2 EV charger brings convenience and practicality to EV ownership.
Having your own EV charging station offers a number of key advantages over public chargers:
- Consistent charging speed
- Easy access for daily use
- Better energy tracking and control
- Lower cost than public charging stations
- Increased property value
