What Are the Benefits of Having a car charger professionally installed?

Having a car charger installed on your property offers many benefits, including: 

Enhanced Safety: Professional installation ensures that the car charger is set up according to electrical codes and standards, minimizing the risk of electrical fires, shocks, and other hazards associated with improper installation.

Optimized Performance: A professionally installed charger operates at peak efficiency, providing faster and more reliable charging for your electric vehicle, ensuring it's always ready when you need it.

Increased Property Value: Adding a professionally installed electric vehicle charger can increase the appeal and value of your property, making it more attractive to potential buyers or renters, especially those who own electric vehicles.

Types of Generators

There are several types of car chargers you can have installed for electric vehicles (EVs), each catering to different needs, preferences, and vehicle specifications. Here are the main types:

Level 1 Chargers: These chargers use a standard 120-volt AC outlet, the same type found in most households. Level 1 chargers are the slowest type, typically providing about 4 to 5 miles of range per hour of charging. They are often included with the vehicle and are best suited for overnight charging at home.

Level 2 Chargers: These chargers require a 240-volt AC power supply and are significantly faster than Level 1 chargers. They can provide about 20 to 25 miles of range per hour of charging, making them suitable for home, workplace, and public charging stations. Level 2 chargers are the most common choice for residential and commercial installations due to their balance of speed and convenience.

DC Fast Chargers (DCFC) or Level 3 Chargers: DC fast chargers are the quickest type, providing up to 100 miles of range in as little as 20 minutes of charging. These chargers use a 480-volt DC power supply and are primarily installed at public charging stations along highways or in areas where quick charging is necessary. However, not all electric vehicles are compatible with DC fast charging, and the availability of these chargers is more limited compared to Level 1 and Level 2 chargers.
