ππ Thinking about adding a 240V Level 2 EV chargerβ‘at home?
One of the first things to consider is whether your existing electrical panel has enough capacity for a dedicated EV charging circuit.
A dedicated circuit gives your charger its own spot in the electrical panel rather than sharing a circuit with other outlets or appliances.
Depending on the charger and your home's electrical capacity, you might have options such as:
π 40-amp circuit β up to 32 amps of charging
π 50-amp circuit β up to 40 amps of charging
π 60-amp circuit β up to 48 amps of charging
And today's Level 2 chargers offer some pretty cool technology, too.
Many popular home chargers now include features like:
π± Scheduling & Phone App controls
π‘οΈ Built-in temperature safety monitoring
βοΈ Adjustable charging speeds
We install residential level 2 chargers from all major brands, including Tesla, Rivian, ChargePoint, GM, and Ford.
Curious about charging speeds? You don't necessarily need the biggest charger or fastest charging speed to wake up with a full battery every morning.
A properly sized 32-amp or 40-amp setup may be plenty for a homeowner who charges overnight and has an average commute of 120 miles per day or less.
At β‘ Jake Electric, we help homeowners throughout the Conejo Valley and Ventura County find the right EV charging setup for their home.
