Types of Chargers We Install

Not all EV chargers are the same — charging speed, power requirements, and intended use vary:

  • Level 1 Charger: This charger comes with your electric vehicle and requires no installation. It plugs directly into a standard 120-volt outlet. Though convenient, it’s the slowest option, ideal for occasional or low-mileage drivers.
  • Level 2 Charger: The most popular choice for homes and businesses, Level 2 chargers require a 240-volt outlet. They offer significantly faster charging speeds, making them practical for daily use.
  • Level 3 Charger: Also known as DC fast chargers, these high-powered units are intended for commercial and industrial applications. Due to their high voltage, they’re not suitable for residential use but are perfect for businesses serving EV-driving clients.

Our Simple EV Charging Station Installation Process

Getting an EV charging station installed with Shanklin is straightforward. Here’s what you can expect from our experienced team:

  1. Obtain permits: We start by securing the necessary permits to ensure compliance with local regulations.
  2. Identify charger type: Based on your EV and charging needs, we’ll help you select the most suitable charger.
  3. Calculate amperage requirements: We’ll determine the power needs for optimal charging speeds without overloading your system.
  4. Perform load calculation: This step helps us assess if your current electrical panel can handle the additional load or if upgrades are necessary.
  5. Upgrade electrical panel (if needed): If required, we’ll update your electrical panel to support your EV charger safely.
  6. Plan location & conduit path: Our team maps out the most efficient and accessible location and conduit route for installation.
  7. Complete installation: We install the charger, following all industry standards for safety and reliability.
  8. Test circuit: Finally, we test the charger to verify that everything functions correctly before you start using it.

EV Charger Installation FAQs

How much does it cost to install an EV charger at home?

The cost of EV charger installation depends on the charger type, installation location, wiring requirements, distance from the electrical panel, and whether your existing panel has enough capacity. Homes that require an electrical panel upgrade or additional electrical work will have higher installation costs.

Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel for a Level 2 EV charger?

Not always. Before installing a Level 2 charger, an electrician should perform a load calculation to determine whether your existing electrical panel can safely handle the additional demand. If there is not enough available capacity, a panel upgrade may be needed.

What is the difference between a Level 1 and Level 2 EV charger?

A Level 1 charger plugs into a standard 120-volt outlet and provides slower charging. A Level 2 charger uses a 240-volt circuit and charges significantly faster, making it a more practical option for many homeowners who charge their electric vehicle regularly.

Can I install a Level 2 EV charger myself?

A Level 2 charger requires a dedicated 240-volt electrical circuit and should be professionally installed. Proper installation includes verifying panel capacity, determining amperage requirements, completing the necessary wiring and permitting, and testing the circuit for safe operation.

Where is the best place to install an EV charger at home?

The best location depends on where you park, the location of your electrical panel, the charger’s cable length, and the route required for wiring or conduit. Choosing an accessible location near the vehicle while minimizing unnecessary electrical work can make charging more convenient.

Can a home EV charger charge any electric vehicle?

Compatibility depends on the vehicle, charger, and connector type. Before installation, the charger should be selected based on your vehicle’s charging requirements and the electrical capacity available at your home.
