1. Level of Service: The cost of installation depends on the type of service requested. Customers will need to decide if they want a Level 1 (120 volts) or Level 2 (220 volts) charger. Level 1 chargers are less expensive because they require less labor and materials to install. Additionally, the installation of a Level 2 charger usually requires an electrician, which will add to the cost. 2. Type of Charger: Customers will also need to decide which type of electric vehicle (EV) charger they want installed. Wall-mounted chargers require less installation time and material than pedestal chargers, so they will usually have a lower cost. 3. Wiring requirements: The cost of installation is also determined by the amount of wiring that will be necessary. This is determined by a professional inspection of the home’s wiring and of the area near the proposed charger's location. Wiring requirements may also be affected by local building codes and regulations. 4. Location: The area where the charger will be installed will also affect the cost of installation. Installation in a challenging location, such as an isolated or exterior area, may cost more since it requires more labor and materials. 5. Additional materials: Electricians may also need to install additional materials, such as conduit or a switchboard, which can add to the cost of the installation. By taking these factors into account when budgeting for the service, customers of Central in Hunting Valley, Ohio, can get an accurate estimate of how much it will cost to install an EV charger.
It is possible for customers to install their own electric vehicle (EV) charging station. Installing a home EV charging station allows you to charge your car at your convenience and may save you some money on charging costs over the long run. However, as with any home improvement project, there are certain risks and benefits to consider before attempting a DIY installation. The potential benefits of DIY installation include the ability to complete the installation quickly and cost-effectively, avoiding the cost of professional installation. DIY installation may also give you more control over the charging station's location and potentially allow you to take advantage of solar energy. Additionally, with some prior research and preparation, customers who opt for a DIY approach can become familiar with the wiring elements and charging requirements for their EV, allowing them to troubleshoot any issues with the charger going forward. On the other hand, there are several risks associated with DIY installation of an EV charger. For safety purposes, professional installation is strongly recommended for more complicated wiring projects. If done improperly, DIY installation can create a risk of electric potential fire. Furthermore, without a professional to explain the technical details, customers may miss important steps while wiring the charging station, resulting in an inefficient or under-performing charging station. Additionally, there is a risk of over-voltage or under-voltage, both of which can create problems with your EV or other electrical systems in your home. Overall, it is possible for customers to install their own EV chargers, but this should only be done with great caution and preparation. We strongly advise customers to consult with an electrician or experienced technician if they wish to proceed with a DIY installation. Professional installation by Central’s technical team ensures that all wiring and safety regulations are met and that optimal charging performance is achieved.
