Charge Your Electric Vehicle from Home with Our Services in Tompkins County

Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason. They are environmentally friendly, can save you money on gas, and are fun to drive! However, one disadvantage of electric vehicles is their limited range. To charge an EV, you need to find a charging station, which can be difficult. The best solution is to install an EV charger at your home — John Mills Electric can help! We can help you find the right charger for your vehicle and help with the installation. With our extensive experience, we can help with any issue you may have with your charger.

How Do Electric Car Chargers Work?

Electric car chargers come in three forms: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 (commercial fast chargers). Level 1 chargers use a standard household outlet and take a long time to fully charge the vehicle. Level 2 chargers use a special outlet and charge the vehicle much faster. Both of these type of chargers can be installed by one of our electricians at a residence or a small business.

Commonly Asked Questions

What types of electric car chargers are available for installation?

There are three types of electric car chargers available for installation: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 (commercial fast chargers). Level 1 chargers use a standard household outlet and take a longer time to fully charge the vehicle. Level 2 chargers use a special outlet and charge the vehicle much faster. Level 3 chargers are commercial fast chargers and require specific installation considerations.

What is involved in the installation of a Level 1 electric car charger?

To install a Level 1 charger, an electrician needs to run a dedicated circuit to the vehicle parking space. The circuit can be run through the walls or ceiling into the garage, or outside along the driveway and into the garage. It is essential to ensure that the circuit is rated to handle the power of the charger.

What is involved in the installation of a Level 2 electric car charger?

The installation of a Level 2 charger is more complicated than Level 1. The electrician needs to run new electrical wiring to the charging station, which will be in the garage or basement. Depending on the charger, a 240-volt circuit and a panel upgrade may be required. It's important to install the charger in a location that will remain permanent.

Can you install Level 3 (DCFC) chargers for electric vehicles?

For more information on Level 3 charger installations (DCFC), please reach out to us. Our team can provide guidance and assistance for the installation of commercial fast chargers.
