We Install All Types Electric Vehicle Chargers

Once you have purchased an electric vehicle, having a dedicated charging point at your residence provides convenience, flexibility and contributes to a greener future. It’s essential to understand that every home and specific charger setup is unique and therefore a thorough setup evaluation is necessary before a precise installation cost can be determined. Home EV charger installation typically involves having a Level 2 charger installed since it is the fastest way, at this time, to charge at your home. Level 2 chargers require a 240-volt outlet and deliver a charging rate of around 25-30 miles of range per hour. Level 2 chargers are ideal for those seeking faster charging times and are often preferred by most EV owners.

As of 2022, Tesla made up 65 percent of the electric vehicle industry. Ford Motor Co. held the second spot at 7.6 percent in the U.S. for electric vehicle sales. Tesla vehicles offer their own proprietary chargers known as Tesla Wall Connectors. These chargers are specifically designed for Tesla electric vehicles and can deliver higher charging speeds than standard Level 2 chargers. However, it’s important to note that Tesla Wall Connectors require a professional installation by a certified electrician to ensure optimal performance and safety.

The installation cost for any electric car charger, including a Tesla charger, can vary depending on several factors. Apart from the type of charger being installed, factors such as the existing electrical setup, the location of your panel box, and necessary electrical upgrades can influence the final cost. To provide an accurate estimate, Allspark Electric can come and assess your home’s electrical setup and determine the most suitable location for your charging solution. This evaluation ensures the installation adheres to local regulations and safety standards while meeting your charging needs.

Level 2 charger installation costs generally range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. This variation stems from factors such as the complexity of the electrical work, the distance between the electrical panel and the charger location, and any additional electrical upgrades required. While this initial investment may seem substantial, it is essential to consider the long-term benefits and savings of owning an electric vehicle. By embracing electric vehicles, electric car owners can contribute to a sustainable future by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. Moreover, EV owners can enjoy cost savings on fuel expenses, as electricity is typically cheaper than gasoline or diesel.

Always Hire Professionals

Whether it’s installing a Level 2 charger for general EV use or opting for Tesla Wall Connectors for Tesla vehicles, careful evaluation of the setup and professional installation is crucial. While installation costs may vary, the long-term benefits of convenience, environmental impact, and potential savings make it a worthwhile investment. As we continue to steer toward a greener future, purchasing an electric vehicle and having an EV charging station at your home becomes a stepping stone toward a cleaner and more sustainable mode of transportation.
