Electric Vehicle Charger Installation
Electric Vehicle Charger Installation
Electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids present an excellent opportunity to reduce daily driving costs while lessening environmental impact, especially for those with shorter commutes. While charging with a standard outlet is possible, installing a dedicated electric vehicle charger at home significantly speeds up the process and helps you avoid relying on public chargers.
New World Electrical Services proudly serves the Tri-Cities area by installing full-power, chargers for home use. Our team of skilled, licensed electricians handles the entire installation, ensuring your EV charger is set up to deliver fast charging—far quicker than a standard outlet. We also offer these installation services throughout the Tri-Cities area, and our 100% satisfaction guarantee means the job will be done right the first time.
Charging an electric vehicle costs much less than refueling a gas-powered car, but recharging batteries can take a long time. Most vehicles come with a basic (Level 1) charger, which plugs into a 120-volt outlet but can require up to 18 hours for a full charge, depending on the battery’s size. By contrast, a dedicated more advance (Level 2) charger uses a 240-volt circuit to deliver more power, reducing charging time.
· Shortens charging time from as much as 18 hours to as little as three hours
· Allows your vehicle to charge completely overnight
· Decreases reliance on public charging stations
An advance charger makes owning and driving an EV easier and more convenient. We can install a charger in your garage, carport, or outside, depending on your needs. Our experts help you choose the most suitable charger, whether you want a high-current model, a portable plug-in version, or a weather-resistant, NEMA 4X-rated one for outdoor locations.
We install charging stations for a variety of electric vehicles, including Tesla, and others.
Installing an EV charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit, ideally rated at 50 amps for high-power chargers. At New World Electrical Services, our professionals manage all wiring necessary for a comprehensive EV charger installation. The process includes:
· Adding a 240-volt breaker
· Installing 240-volt wiring
· Setting up a NEMA-50 socket for plug-in chargers
· Mounting and connecting the charger
Choosing a charger with a cord length of at least 16 to 25 feet is recommended so you can easily reach your vehicle, regardless of its parking position.
