The demand for electric vehicle (EV) chargers is growing. With more people converting to electric vehicles, having public and residential EV charging stations is a must. Our electricians will discuss the installation process for EV and Tesla chargers and make recommendations on what type of charging station will best suit your EV needs.

 

When it comes to EV chargers, there are two main types that can be installed: Tesla chargers and standard EV chargers. Tesla chargers are specialized for the Tesla Model 3, S, and X, while standard EV chargers work with all electric vehicle makes and models. It's important to note that standard EV chargers come in a variety of power outputs and can be scaled to fit your EV charging needs. Tesla chargers can be installed in homes or businesses, while standard EV chargers can be installed in home garages, on the street, or at commercial spaces.

 

The installation process can vary based on the type of charger and the electrical supply required. Homeowners with existing Tesla chargers can have a professional technician replace the equipment with a new one, without needing additional infrastructure, making it more cost-effective than installing a new charger altogether. If the home requires a new Tesla charger, the homeowner will need to work with a licensed electrician.

 

The electrician will agree on an installation plan based on the power supply, housing needs, and the EV charger’s location. Businesses considering EV chargers will need a certified electrician to install the equipment and ensure it complies with local building codes. The electrician will define the location, power supply requirements, and may need to coordinate with property managers, as some businesses require permits and/or landlord approval. When it comes to EV chargers, you need to decide which type best suits your charging needs. Tesla chargers are ideal for Tesla owners, while standard EV chargers are more versatile, working with all electric vehicles. They are also more cost-effective and can be scaled to suit specific requirements.
