The right charger for your car

Most home chargers are Level 2, running on a 240-volt circuit like the one a clothes dryer uses. That is enough to refill a typical day's driving overnight. The installer matches the charger and circuit to what your car can take, so you don't pay for power it can't use.

Your panel, checked first

Before anything is bought, the installer looks at your electrical panel: how much spare capacity it has and whether there is room for a new breaker. If it comes up short, they explain the options, from a smaller circuit or a load management device to a panel upgrade.

Do you need a panel upgrade?

Plug-in or hardwired

Some chargers plug into a 240-volt outlet such as a NEMA 14-50; others are wired straight to the circuit. The installer recommends the one that fits your charger and your garage.

Permit and inspection taken care of

Your installer pulls the electrical permit and books the inspection wherever your town requires them, so the work is on record when you sell the house.
