Install An Electric Car Charger In Your Home

Get High-Quality Service From Electrical Connections

When you’re thinking about getting an electric car, one of the most important questions to ask is how you are going to charge it.

Can You Plug An Electric Car Into A Regular Outlet?

Yes! The mass-produced electric vehicles from makers like Tesla, Nissan, Toyota, Chevy, Hyundai, Mercedes, Porsche, and others have the ability to charge using standard home outlets. However, it will generally take about 20 hours to reach a full charge.


The Cost Of An Electric Car Charger

If you want to charge your car quicker, you will need to have a level two charger installed at your home. These take about four to eight hours to charge your car, and they will cost between $500 and $1200, depending on the variety of charger and its capabilities that you choose.


What You Need To Charge An Electric Car At Home

While there are several fast-charging EV stations that will charge your car in about a half hour, you will want a way to easily charge your car at home. To do this, you’ll need to get an EV charger installed on your property near where you plan to park your car. That’s where Electrical Connections comes in! We will install a high-quality charger at your home so you can always charge your vehicle.


Is It Cheaper To Charge Your Car At Home?

Yes, it is generally cheaper to charge your car at home than it is to operate a standard gas-powered vehicle. Charging at home is also the cheapest way to go, but you may incur some initial higher costs that will help you make the process more efficient and affordable in the future.


Contact Electrical Connections today to learn more about EV charging and how we can set up your own charging station at your home!

Josh is amazing! He took time to prepare and explain 4 EV charger installation options for us and repairs. He put in the effort to give us exactly what we wanted and stayed within time and budget. I HIGHLY recommend home for your electrical project.

Super easy to schedule and work with. We got recessed lights put into two rooms, and our electrician James was informative and helpful, being detailed and upfront throughout the job. He continued to be helpful through any questions we had. Definitely recommend!

Franklin was wonderful. He was so thorough and clearly walked us through the work and the issues he uncovered (including some possible fire hazards that we are SO thankful he resolved). He was also just very friendly and nice to have around! Whenever we need an electrician again, we will be happy to have him back.

Peter Aurgaur and Jeremiah Castillo did a great job today replacing/upgrading my breaker panel. They worked very well together to efficiently perform all aspects of the job. I look forward to getting a successful inspection and then closing outage work when Pepco arrives to work with Peter to up date my meter and housing.
