EV Charger Installation
One of our driving goals at Eco Electric, LLC is to offer affordable EV charger installations. You made a giant leap purchasing a plug-in hybrid or fully electric vehicle. Adding a new fast charging station at your home should be an easy and exciting experience. Below are some things to consider about your new EV charger installation.
What size charger can you install?
The size of your new charger will be determined by two main factors. How quickly you want to charge your new vehicle and the capacity of your electrical service. The typical home can support a 240 volt 40-50 amp charger. We can help you determine the size during our free estimate inspection.
What type of charger to install?
Check with the vehicle manufacturers recommendations first. Then, consider any utility or other rebate programs for EV charger installations. Currently, for Consumers Energy electric utility customers, a rebate is available with the installation of specific Level 2 chargers.
Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel?
Maybe. We will perform a code compliant load calculation for your home to determine the appropriate size electrical service. If you need to upgrade your service, we can provide that service as well.
How much does the installation cost?
The size of the charger, what brand, and location will determine your installation costs. Are you installing a smaller charger relatively close to the electrical panel? Or, are you installing a "super charger" that's far away from the panel? Average costs can be found on many home improvement and contractor search websites. An onsite inspection is required for us to provide an estimate.
