What is Residential Electric Car Charger Installation?
Electric cars require specialized chargers, called EV (electrical vehicle) chargers. These chargers draw higher amounts of electrical current than are normally available in your home. This means that EV chargers require wiring from a certified electrician to ensure they’re safe and effective for your electric car’s needs.

Although it’s possible to install EV chargers on your own, it can be dangerous because of the increased voltage involved. Additionally, a certified electrician can help you select the right EV charger for your car’s needs and your home’s capabilities.
