America's Old Sweetheart: The Automobile
The times, they are a-changin'. With the advent of technology enabling better access to and popularizing electric vehicles, business has been booming for electricians everywhere in making electric car charging a reality.
There Are a Few Key Things to Keep in Mind When Planning to Add a Circuit for an Electric Car Charger.
Electric Car Manufacturer
While it is optional for you to know exactly what you want before the installation, making a decision will be beneficial in determining the requirements of the circuit that will need to be run. We encourage you to have the make and model of the vehicle selected when preparing to run a new circuit for a car charger.
Your Electrical Service
As discussed in our section on Service and Panel Upgrades, large electrical loads like car chargers can strain existing electrical services that need to be updated to handle the addition of a car charger sufficiently. We will assess the conditions of your electrical service before anything else to ensure safe functionality.
Location
Different electric vehicle service equipment-EVSE-exist for other functionalities and environments. Some customers choose their own EVSE, and some ask for it to be provided. Factors that affect this decision are whether the garage is detached from the home, if the EVSE will be located outside, and more.
A vehicle has always been a significant investment. Ensure you protect it with the expertise of an insured professional who knows what they are doing.
