Frequently Asked Questions
Do EV chargers require a dedicated circuit?
Yes. EV chargers need their own dedicated circuit to prevent overloading your electrical system. Level 2 chargers often require panel upgrades to handle the added demand safely.
What preparation is needed before installing an EV charger?
Clear access to your electrical panel and the planned charger location is important. An electrician will also check your panel capacity and wiring to confirm installation requirements.
Can an EV charger be installed in any garage or driveway?
In most cases, yes. Chargers can be installed indoors or outdoors, but outdoor setups require weatherproof equipment and proper wiring protection to meet electrical code standards.
How long does EV charger installation take?
A standard installation typically takes 2–4 hours. More complex setups requiring panel upgrades or new wiring may extend the installation to a full day.
What type of EV charger should I install at home?
Most homeowners choose a Level 2 charger for faster charging. Your electrician will recommend the best option based on your vehicle type, driving habits, and panel capacity.
