What to Expect During Your Boston EV Charger Installation Service
Having a new car charger installed is exciting. Here’s what you can expect from N.E.T.R., Inc.:
- We help you determine which type of charging is right for you. We’ll ask questions about your driving habits and help you choose between a Level 1 or Level 2 charging station.
- Then, we check your home’s capacity for electrical charging. Many homes on the North Shore of New England are older with smaller electrical systems that often have difficulty sustaining a lot of energy use. If necessary, our technicians can replace your electrical panel to safely support your charging station.
- We finalize the location of your charger. We work with you to select a convenient and practical area for your charging station to be installed.
- We get your permit and complete the work. A permit is usually needed to install an EV charging station, but our contractors take care of this for you. When we come to your home, everything will be in place and ready for us to complete the job.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Charging Stations for Electric Cars
How much does it cost to charge an electric car?
How much it costs to charge your electric car depends on what type of charger you’re using, how long you need to charge your vehicle for, and the cost of your electricity. Public charging stations cost between $0.30 to $0.60 per kWh, compared to around $0.16 when you charge at home.
How long does it take to charge an electric car?
How long it takes to charge your electric car varies based on your battery size, the type of charger you’re using, and how much battery you started with. The average electric vehicle takes about 8 hours to charge when the battery is completely empty with a standard 7kW setup.
Should I choose a level 1 or a level 2 charging station?
The average Level 1 charger gets around 4 miles per hour charged, while a Level 2 charger can get up to 32 miles per hour of charge.
Most homeowners with one electric vehicle are comfortable with a Level 1 charger. These are less expensive than Level 2 chargers but also take more time to charge. Level 2 chargers offer faster charging and may be a better choice for households with more than one electric vehicle or who have very little down time at home to charge their car.
Do I need a certified electrician to install my home EV car charger?
Having a home EV charging station installed requires the help of a licensed electrician and should never be attempted without one. The potential for injury is high when dealing with electricity in any capacity and it’s critical to follow safety protocols precisely to prevent anyone from getting hurt. Working with a certified technician also ensures the job gets done right without costly mistakes or setbacks.
