Hardwired vs Plug-in
For most standard installs we recommend a hard wired charger (as recommended by your EV manufacturer) to ensure maximum compatibility and provide additional features. Plug-in chargers are more affordable but have different requirements.
Location
For standard installs we place your EV charger in the garage near the electrical panel. This is key because the closer the unit is to the panel, the more affordable the install. Other considerations may be: vehicle parking location, security issues, environmental/physical location and cord tripping hazards. For upgraded or premium installs we can place your EV charger in the location of your choice.
Power Requirements
The #1 most overlooked consideration is the size (amps) required of the EV charger. Many companies are quick to throw out numbers, but the problem is you might not have that much available. During our on-site appointment, we inspect your electrical panel, conduct a load calculation and determine the optimal size for your home.
