When most people talk about installing a charger, they are usually discussing a Level 2 charging station. Level 2 EV requires 240-volt power. This is fairly common in household setups, usually due to the presence of washers and dryers. However, most electrical panels don’t have additional slots to support more 240-volt devices without some work.
Our Bartow electricians will fully inspect your home’s electrical panel to ensure that it can support a charging station. If necessary, we can upgrade the circuit breakers or the panel to ensure the system can drive a Level 2 setup. This may include upgrading the electrical panel to a 200-amp or higher system. This would ensure there’s enough output to concurrently run the charger and other appliances like your home’s HVAC, dryer, washer, refrigerator, and stove.
We also help our customers evaluate the many options for home EV stations.

Also, keep in mind potential options for saving money with a charger. For example, many utility companies have demand response programs or time-of-use rates. These programs allow you to schedule charging for more favorable times of the day to save money. Usually, the best rates are available in the middle of the night.
A Level 2 charger usually can add about 40 miles of driving distance to a vehicle per hour of charging. Given that many of the top EV models on the market today have a maximum per-charge range of over 300 miles, this allows you to top off the battery fully by charging it for eight hours overnight.
Notably, you should work with a licensed electrician. Many manufacturers won’t warrant the battery or the electrical system in a car if a home EV charger installation is DIY. Likewise, many insurers won’t cover any damages associated with the charger under the same circumstances.
