If you’re considering an electric vehicle (EV), you’ll want to have a reliable at-home charging station installed. EV charger installation allows you to skip high gas prices and long waits at public EV ports, and save money on energy costs while doing your part for the environment.

Having an EV charger installed at home will also add value to your property. The Del-Air Plumbing, Air Conditioning, and Electric team offers reputable Orlando EV charger installation that you can depend on.

The most significant cost determinant is the type of EV charger. A level 1 charger, often included with your EV, is the most affordable option and charges at the speed of a traditional electrical outlet, which can take up to 22 hours for a full charge. Level 2 chargers, which require professional installation, are faster and can add up to 60 miles of range per hour of charging.

Your choice of location is also a determining factor in EV charger installation cost. A garage is ideal for most homeowners, as this setup minimizes the distance between the EV charger and your electrical panel. A parking spot in a driveway may also be appropriate, but the layout and positioning of your home’s landscaping should be taken into consideration as well.

Depending on your EV’s make and model, you might need to install an additional 240-volt outlet in your garage to support your new charging station. This upgrade will require a permit and the services of a qualified electrician.
