Frequent
Questions

What size charger do I need?

Some EV owners use the smallest level 1 charger that plugs into a standard outlet.  This only makes sense if the EV owner drives about 20 miles a day.  Small level 1 chargers add about 1-3 miles per hour while charging.

Most EV owners use the 50 or 60A plug in or hard wire level 2 charger.  Most EV’s can be charged at a rate of 12-32 miles per hour while charging on a level 2 charger.  Some EV’s charge on level 2 up to 44 miles per hour.

 

It’s not recommended. While there are many DIY videos and resources on the internet, we always recommend hiring a professional, having them pull a permit and demanding a final inspection from the Authority Having Jurisdiction.  We follow local and national codes as well as the manufacturer installation instructions.

The short answer is No.  Power requirements for a level 3 super charger / fast charger is typically around 400A 480v three phase.  This is not readily available in a single family home.

An installation within 7 lineal feet from the electric panel for a 50 or 60A charger costs around $695.00
