Choosing the Ideal EV Charger for Your Home
Although you can comfortably charge most electric cars overnight with a 120-volt Level 1 charger, if you have a long commute, make lots of short trips, or just drive often, upgrading to a 240-volt Level 2 charger can make owning an electric vehicle far more convenient, and lets you skip the commercial Level 3 DC fast chargers and the lines to use them. When installing a Level 2 EV charger, there are a few factors to consider:
- Panel Capacity: Make sure your service panel has the capacity to add a new 240-volt or 120-volt circuit that will be dedicated to your EV.
- Installation Type: Many EV chargers are wall-mounted, but some can be installed in the driveway or other locations. Be sure to choose a weather-rated charger for outdoor locations.
- Cable Type: Make sure your charging cable is long enough, rated for the application, and has the correct plug for your EV, such as the standard J1772 connector or proprietary ones for specific manufacturers.
- Amperage: EVs have different charging requirements, with some needing as few as 15 amps, while some may need 40 or more. Consider the amperage draw you will need now and in the future, especially if you have multiple EVs, and plan accordingly.
Our experts at Campbell & Company can recommend the best charger for your needs, and we can install the dedicated circuit that it requires.

Frequently Asked Questions
While a 120-volt Level 1 charging station may take eight to 16 hours to charge an EV battery fully, a 240-volt Level 2 charger can do the job 5 to 7 times faster. This is ideal for busy families who need to use their EV often. At Campbell & Company, we can provide the circuits you need to charge your EV as fast as possible.
As long as your electrical service and electrical panel have the capacity, you can install one, two, or more EV chargers. Most homes have 100-, 150-, or 200-amp service, but higher amperage service is available in some areas.
