What is the process of installation of an EV charger?
Although the installation of new EV charging stations will vary between homes, here is a general look at what the process looks like:
A licensed electrician assesses the home’s electrical system to determine if it can accommodate a charging station.
Before your installation begins, a permit with your local municipal office will need to be filed.
On the day of your installation, an electrician will mount the EV charging unit on a garage wall or a designated charging area, to ensure that it is easily accessible.
Next, the EV charger services will require the electrician to run wires to your electrical panel and other areas throughout your home.
After that is complete, the EV charger unit will be connected to the wiring and electrical panel.
Once the EV charging station is installed, a series of tests will be conducted to ensure it functions correctly and safely.
How long does it take to install an EV charger at home?
The time it takes to install an EV charger at home can vary depending on several factors, including the type of charger, your home’s electrical system, and whether any modifications to your home are needed.
Generally speaking, an installation of a Level 2 EV charger station with no need for significant modifications can usually be done within 2 to 4 hours. However, more complex EV charger installations, such as ones that involved upgrading the electrical panel, may take longer.
To find out more about how long your EV charger installation will take, we suggest booking a consultation appointment with an electrician from our team. They’ll be able to inspect your current electrical system and determine the time needed to complete the EV charger installation in your home.
Who should I call for an EV charger installation?
Like all electrical work, electric car owners should book an appointment with an electrical company like Thomson Industries to oversee the installation process. Electrical work is incredibly dangerous if not performed correctly and by a professional.
Do not attempt fitting a charging station into your home on your own, unless you are qualified to do so. Any errors made can cause damage to your electric car, home, and possibly lead to
Are EV chargers safe to install at home?
Yes, EV chargers are safe to install at home, provided that they have been installed by a qualified electrician who is able to follow local residential electrical and building codes.
Before moving forward with your electric vehicle charging station, it’s essential that you have an electrician confirm that the electrical system and wiring in your home can handle the additional load of charging an electric vehicle.
Ultimately, working with a licensed electrician is a must to ensure a safe installation from start to finish.
