Electric Car Charger Installation

A typical dedicated charger for EVs is a Level 2 charger. Level 2 chargers generally provide about 20 to 25 miles of range per hour of charging (compared to a standard outlet, which offers about 4 to 5 miles per hour of charging). So, a Level 2 charger can charge an EV about 4 to 6 times faster than a standard outlet setup.

If you'd like to benefit from the faster charge times an electric car charger installation can provide, contact Mr. Watt!

The cost to charge an electric car varies based on several factors including the vehicle's efficiency, the cost of electricity in your area, and whether you're charging at home or at a public charging station.

On average, charging at home can cost between $0.03 to $0.07 per mile, depending on electricity rates.

Public charging stations may be more expensive, especially fast-charging stations.

For precise calculations, determine your local electricity rates and your car's efficiency rating (miles per kWh).

The cost to install an EV charger at home can range widely from a minimum of $650 to upwards of $3,000, with most installations typically falling between $650 and $1,200. The final price depends on various factors such as the type of charger, electrical upgrades needed, and installation complexity.

In order to know where your specific EV charging installation will fall in the range, contact Mr. Watt for an onsite evaluation.

To charge an EV at home, you primarily have two options: a standard 120V outlet (Level 1 charging) or a 240V charging station (Level 2 charging).

• Level 1 charging is slower but doesn't require additional equipment or installation.
• Level 2 charging, while faster, may require professional installation to set up the charging station. Contact Mr. Watt if you're interested in an EV car charger installation.

Final note: Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for charging your specific vehicle to ensure safety and efficiency.
