What Type of EV Charger Do You Need for Your Home?

There are two main options for home EV charging systems: basic Level 1 or Level 2 chargers. Many EVs come with a Level 1 charger, which uses a regular 120-volt wall outlet but has the lowest power output, about 1.2 kW, and can take more than 24 hours for a complete charge or about 2 to 5 miles of range per hour.

In contrast, Level 2 chargers offer faster charging, between 12 kW and 19.2 kW, or approximately 10 to 20 miles of range per hour. These chargers require a 240-volt circuit and are available as either hardwired or plug-in. You can also choose Level 2 charger models with weatherproofing, smart home compatibility, different mounting options, and ENERGY STAR certification.

Comfort Bros’ electrical team can help you consider these factors to determine the correct type of EV charger for your home:

Driving habits: Drivers who only use their vehicle for occasional trips may be able to meet their range needs with Level 1 chargers. For daily commutes and other driving, homeowners may need a Level 2 charger to ensure a reliable driving range.
Vehicle: Hybrid EVs may get by with a Level 1 charger since they have less electric driving range overall, but drivers with fully electric vehicles may find a Level 2 charger more convenient, particularly if their vehicle has a high driving range.
Energy efficiency: ENERGY STAR-certified Level 2 chargers use 40% less energy in standby mode than non-certified products while maintaining the same functionality, and they’re more energy-efficient than Level 1 chargers overall. Smart home-ready products also offer remote power monitoring and control to optimize energy use and cost.
Electrical panel capacity: Level 2 chargers have specific electrical requirements that may increase installation costs if your home requires upgrades.
Cost and incentives: Although Level 2 chargers cost more than Level 1 chargers, they provide greater energy efficiency and convenience and may be eligible for government tax credits and other incentives.
Installation location: Level 2 chargers in your driveway or attached garage may require different weatherproofing, security, and configuration requirements.

How EV Charger Installation Works (What To Expect)

At Comfort Bros, we follow an EV charging station installation process that ensures safety, compliance, and long-term reliability. We manage every step, from planning through final testing, so you know what to expect throughout the project:

Assessment: An electrician evaluates your electrical panel, load capacity, and installation location to confirm compatibility with your chosen charger.
Charger selection: Based on your vehicle, usage needs, and budget, we help you select the best residential EV charging solution.
Installation: Our team installs the dedicated circuit, mounts the charger, completes electrical connections, and verifies safe operation.

Does My Electrical Panel Need an Upgrade for an EV Charger?

Some homes require an electrical panel upgrade before EV charger installation, usually older properties with lower-capacity panels or limited space for new circuits. Level 2 chargers draw more power than standard household outlets, and panels that are already near capacity may not safely support the additional load.

Comfort Bros evaluates your existing electrical infrastructure during the initial assessment. If electrical panel upgrades are necessary, we provide clear explanations that help you make an informed choice.

Comfort Bros offers flexible financing options through Service Finance to make EV charger installation accessible and budget-friendly. Monthly payments allow homeowners to complete their EV home charging station installation without delaying the installation due to upfront costs. Our team can help you review financing options that fit your budget.
