If you, like many people in our area, are considering an electric vehicle purchase, you’ll need charging infrastructure for your home. Installing the necessary equipment may require modifications to your home’s electrical system. To handle that, the residential electricians at CMC Electric specialize in EV charger installation in Raleigh, NC. A home EV charger can help you make the most out of your new vehicle. It also goes a long way toward easing the range anxiety that can make driving an EV problematic.
Installing an electric vehicle charger in your home isn’t something you can do alone. Most electric vehicle chargers need a dedicated high-amperage circuit to operate effectively. At a minimum, that means the installation of a new circuit breaker and wiring to power your charger. When you contact us about a home EV charger installation, our electricians will begin by checking the installation requirements for the charger you want installed. For optimal charging in the shortest possible time, you’ll want a Level 2 charger. They can fully charge an electric vehicle battery in roughly 8 hours, depending on your electric vehicle’s charge capacity.
A basic Level 2 EV charging station needs at least a 20 amp, 240-volt circuit. Some more advanced models may require up to a 50-amp circuit. Next, our electrician will evaluate your home’s electrical infrastructure. The evaluation will include checking whether your electrical service can support the additional load without upgrades and checking your electrical panel to see if there’s room for another circuit. If you need an electrical service upgrade, it would include a new electrical panel, solving both problems simultaneously.
There are multiple benefits you’d get from an EV charging station installation in your home:
Added convenience
Safer charging
Lower charging costs
Reduced EV battery wear and tear
Increased property value
