What’s the EV Charger Installation Process?

Before we begin installing your EV charger, we always start with an electrical system evaluation to ensure your electrical circuitry has the capacity for the type of EV charger you want to install. We’ll then help you choose which type of charger and brand you’d like installed — we’ll walk you through your choices in detail — before we install, mount, and connect your charger to power. We always end our service with a test run to ensure that everything works as it should.

Now that you know our general process for electrical vehicle charger installation in Portland, OR, let’s break down the different types of EV chargers.

Different Types of Electric Vehicle Chargers

There are three different types of EV chargers: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Each type has different charging capabilities and speeds.

Level 1 EV Charger

Level 1 chargers are often included with the purchase of your electric vehicles and can be plugged into any standard three-prong outlet. This charging level requires no special installation, as your car can be charged with your current electrical system. However, level 1 has a very slow charging rate of 2-5 miles of range per hour.

Level 2 EV Charger

Level 2 chargers are common for at-home EV charger installation in Portland, OR. Level 2 has a charging rate of up to 25 miles of range per hour, meaning your vehicle can be fully charged in a matter of 3 hours. These chargers require a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and this is where professional installation comes in, as you’ll likely need to have your electrical circuit upgraded to handle the charging capacity.

Level 3 EV Charger

Level 3 chargers — also called DC fast chargers — can fully charge an electric vehicle in an hour or less. These EV chargers are not commonly installed on residential property since they use a substantial amount of power.

Benefits of Installing an At-Home EV Charger

Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular in the Portland area. Even though our region has embraced the rise of EVs, and we have better access to charging stations than other areas, nothing beats the luxury of having a charging station right in your own home. Consider the following benefits to electrical vehicle charger installation in Portland, OR:
