Electrical vehicle charging stations come in multiple sizes and shapes. It’s vital to choose the correct voltage for your specific charging station. Our team members consider your current setup and your driving habits to determine the best type of EV charger for your home. We install the following types of EV chargers:
-
A 120-volt charging station can be plugged into a standard three-prong outlet. It will fully charge your vehicle in about 20 hours. If you’re able to recharge your vehicle overnight, we
-
A 240-volt charging station requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit. We can install this at your home, where your vehicle will recharge in three hours. Some EV manufacturers now include a Level 2 charger standard with their electric vehicles.
-
A Level 3 charger is a standalone charger commonly found in public charging stations. Level 3 chargers repower your vehicle in about 30 minutes. Since these chargers have an industrial-level power draw, they are typically only found in industrial buildings.

Some of the most common safety options and features of your PEV (plug-in electric vehicle) include the following:

While it’s technically possible to install an EV charger yourself, it’s highly recommended to hire a licensed electrician with training and expertise in EV charger installations. Professional electricians ensure the installation complies with local electrical codes and safety regulations, reducing the risk of potential hazards like electrical fires or improper wiring. Additionally, manufacturers such as Tesla recommend using certified installers to ensure the charger functions correctly and its warranty remains intact. A professional can also optimize installation placement for efficiency and convenience while handling potential upgrades to your home’s electrical panel if needed. In the long run, hiring a pro saves time, ensures safety, and provides peace of mind.

Installing a Level 2 EV charger typically takes around two to four hours, but the exact time depends on several factors. For instance, if your electrical panel is far from the installation site, additional wiring or conduits may be needed, which can increase the necessary time. Panel upgrades may also be required if your current system can’t handle the charger’s electrical load. The complexity of the installation area, such as working around obstacles or customizing the setup to meet specific needs, may also add to the timeline. Additionally, local permitting or inspections might extend the overall process. Every installation is unique, so it’s essential to consult Mr. Electric of Phoenix Metro's service professionals to get a more accurate estimate for your specific situation.

DC fast chargers, also called Level 3 chargers, are built with commercial settings in mind because of their high electricity demand and infrastructure requirements. Installing one at home is technically possible but extremely expensive and would necessitate major electrical upgrades. Level 2 chargers are a far more practical and affordable solution for most homeowners. Level 2 units strike a balance between faster charging speeds and reasonable installation costs, making them ideal for residential use. While fast chargers are excellent for public charging stations or businesses, they aren't typically viable for personal use due to the complexity and expense involved.
-
A Level 2 charger runs on a 240V circuit, similar to those used by large household appliances, and provides charging speeds between 12 and 60 miles of range per hour. The exact rate depends on factors like the charger’s power output, which typically ranges from 3.3 kW to 19.2 kW, and the vehicle’s onboard charger, which limits how much power the car can accept. Most home chargers fall in the 6.6 kW to 7.7 kW range, ideal for overnight charging. Other factors, such as the size of the car’s battery and the current state of charge, also influence how quickly it powers up. With these considerations, a Level 2 charger offers an efficient solution for EV owners seeking faster, more reliable charging at home. Mr. Electric of Phoenix Metro's team will gladly help you find the perfect charger for your vehicle and driving needs.
-
When properly maintained, a Level 2 EV charger typically lasts 10 to 20 years. Its lifespan depends on factors like the frequency of use, exposure to extreme weather, and overall build quality. Chargers used frequently may experience wear and tear faster, while those with top-tier materials and durability features generally last longer. Environmental conditions, such as rain, heat, or snow, can also affect longevity. Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and extends the life of the charger, including cleaning and inspecting connections. Investing in a high-quality charger and following care recommendations can maximize its usability over time.

EVSE, or electric vehicle supply equipment, takes electricity from a larger power source to charge your vehicle. EV chargers provide the perfect amount of electricity to recharge your electric car. Our service professionals walk you through your EVSE charging options and help you understand how to use them.

One of the most important parts of EV charging home installation is to find a location for your EVSE. It’s important to choose a location that can safely convert electricity into a usable form. You should choose a location that works well with your charging port and the length of the cable. A short 6-foot cable doesn’t have as many options as a 16 or 18-foot cable. We will come to your home to help determine the perfect location for your EVSE.
