One of the most daunting tasks for anyone looking to purchase an electric car is how to charge it. Will I need a special charging station? Dedicated power in my garage? What if my driveway isn't level with the street, requiring someone to install a special outlet? The charging equipment you need to charge your electric vehicle at home depends on your own type of EV. Mr. Electric can help you with your EV charging station installation needs.
With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, more and more people are considering buying an EV. But how do you charge an electric car at home?
The guys were super nice, I loved that they did the work immediately. Also after having a discussion with them about the static electricity from a lightenimg strike we had and it fried everything they suggested a surge protector to keep that from happening again. So we did that.
Scheduled an appointment with Mr Electric of Fort Worth and received a call they were able to show up early and had Dylan show up on time stocked with a full truck. He was able to diagnosis the issue quickly and restore my power to a few plugs that were causing the breakers to trip continuously. Dylan was very knowledgable, clearly explained the cause and how he would fix the issue, and addressed all concerns that we had. He was replaced two breakers and installed 2 new outlets along with diagnosing the problem in about an hour. Very quick and so far seems to have resolved our electrical issue. Would definitely recommend Mr Electric of Fort Worth!
Dylan was so nice and always on time. Very qualified and explained everything he needed to do in a way I understood. My older house required an outside panel so I had a lot of work but Dylan and his helper worked together very well and finished on time so I was not out of power more than needed. Everything looked and worked great when done. I don't know how he was able to replace the cracked power pole and wiring on my roof so quickly and beautifully. I am very, very impressed with his skill level and would request him for any future work. The company is very well organized and office contact was a pleasure to work with(which is rare since these positions are usually underpaid)so reward her well, she is the "door" to your organization. She and Dylan sealed my deal!
Cody was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis pertaining to a wiring issue in one of my rooms. He gave me the price for the repair/modification and fixed the issue all in less than an hour. Thanks Cody!
While it may seem like a hassle to plug in your car every night, it's quite simple. As long as you have a power outlet, you can charge your EV.
The first step is finding out what type of charging equipment is compatible with your vehicle (usually listed on the manufacturer's website). Once you know this, it's time to buy the equipment!
Electric car charging stations can be found at many public locations, including shopping malls, restaurants, and hotels. You can also purchase an EVSE (electric vehicle supply equipment) for your home or office.
We provide reliable, professional electrical services backed by licensed electricians and upfront pricing. Our team is committed to safety, quality workmanship, and on-time service for every job. With trusted local expertise and customer-first care, we deliver solutions you can count on.
Electric vehicles can be much better for the environment than gas-powered cars. Even though they run on electricity, they don't emit pollution or greenhouse gasses. The electricity that runs EVs can come from various sources, including wind and solar power.
If you're considering buying an EV, you may wonder how much it will cost to charge it. You also might want to know if you need any special equipment to charge your car at home. The answer depends on the type of EV and how often you use it.
If you're planning on owning an electric vehicle, it's worth it to invest in a home charger that can handle 240-volt power. A Level 1 charger comes with most new electric vehicles (110 volts). If you want to charge at home overnight, it's best to get a Level 2 charger, so it doesn't take all day to fill up your tank.
Your electric vehicle will have everything on board to charge your vehicle - the box, cord, and plug.
An EVSE is a charger that you can plug in to charge an electric car. They come in two types: Level 1 and Level 2, and level 1 chargers require an extension cord, while Level 2 chargers do not.
Some people refer to Level 1 chargers as "trickle charges" because they are slow, but they are useful if you only need to charge your car for a short time or if the power goes out and you need emergency power.
Level 2 chargers are faster and more convenient because they don't require an extension cord.
Installing an ESVE requires that you have a dedicated 240V circuit with wiring capable of handling up to 30 amps. This means enough power for your EVSE and your other household appliances. If you don't have this kind of wiring in your home, it will take a professional electrician to install it for you.
The best way to charge an EV at home is to install a home charging station. Mr. Electric can support your EVSE charging installation. We can provide a home energy assessment, which can be invaluable when deciding what EV fits your lifestyle best, and how much juice you'll need.
