FAQs About EV Chargers
Are EV chargers universal?
EV chargers are not universal, but they are becoming more standardized as the electric vehicle industry grows. Most use the J1772 connector for level 1 and 2 charging, but there are several other types used for fast charging.
Where will you install the EV charger?
Your EV charger will be installed conveniently in your garage. Our technicians will install a dedicated 240V outlet so that you have access to safe and reliable charging.
How long does it take to charge an electric vehicle?
With a residential level 2 charger, you can charge your car overnight. A full charge takes about 4 to 8 hours, which is much faster than a standard level 1 charger, which can take up to 24 hours.
Do EV chargers stop charging when the battery is fully charged?
Yes, all EV chargers stop charging when the battery reaches a set percentage. This is thanks to safeguards to prevent overcharging and battery damage.
