Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming a common sight on LA roads. They provide mobile convenience without the need for gas station fill-ups and offer tax benefits. The Los Angeles Department of Water & Power has named electric vehicles the future of driving.
When you upgrade your car and add an EV charger to your home electrical system, you can save money with used EV rebate programs and residential EV charger rebate programs. Check out the Drive Clean website to see what other initiatives are currently available.
Our EV Charger Services in Los Angeles
If you’re considering purchasing an EV, you’re likely also thinking about installing a charger at home. Residential electric car charger installation offers convenience and faster charging times. Express Electrical has years of experience installing all levels of residential Los Angeles EV chargers.
Level 1 charger installation
A Level 1 charger lets you plug your electric vehicle directly into a regular outlet without requiring additional equipment. This charger may be convenient to install, but it’s also the slowest, charging the average electric vehicle at around 4.5 miles of range for every hour plugged in.
Level 2 charger installation
This charger charges most EVs to around 70 miles of range per hour plugged in. An electrician must install this charger because it requires its own circuit on the electrical system. You may also need to upgrade your service panel to accommodate the extra electrical use.
Level 3 charger installation
Installing a Level 3 charger in a home would require fairly extreme modifications to your electrical system. These ultra-fast chargers are expensive to run and may drastically increase energy bills. They’re often found at public charging stations.
