Are you aware that we are beginning an electric vehicle (EV) revolution? Learn more about charging station installation! As we all become more environmentally friendly, and electricity storage is put forth as a major solution, EVs will increasingly have a better driving range than the gasoline alternatives will offer. Meanwhile, if EVs are to keep growing in popularity as a greener and smarter option for every driver, we must make it more convenient for EV drivers to charge their cars. This is precisely where DC Electrical Services is involved, as we specialize in professional and expert design and installation of EV charging stations in your home or office.

Understanding EV Charger Types
There are three main types of EV chargers, each offering varying charging speeds:
- Level 1 Charger: This is the slowest option, typically using a standard 120-volt household outlet. While convenient, it can take over 24 hours to fully charge an EV.
- Level 2 Charger: This is the most common type for home and business installations. It uses a 240-volt circuit, similar to a dryer or oven, and can fully charge most EVs in under 10 hours. DC Electrical Services recommends Level 2 chargers for most residential applications.
- DC Fast Charger: These high-powered stations found at public charging locations utilize direct current (DC) to deliver a significantly faster charge, often in under an hour. While not suitable for home installations due to their high power requirements, DC Fast Chargers are a valuable resource for long-distance travel.
Benefits of Owning an EV Charging Station
Installing an EV charging station at your home or business offers several advantages:
- Convenience: Charge your EV at night when everyone is asleep and wake up with your battery full every morning. You don’t need to go hunting for public charging stations.
- Cost Savings: Home charging is typically cheaper than relying on public charging networks.
- Increased Property Value: The home with the EV charging station can be a more attractive property to buyers in the market today.
- Environmentally Friendly: When you move to a zero-emission EV, not only will you significantly reduce your carbon footprint, but you will also contribute greatly to a cleaner and environmentally friendly world.
