With the rise of electric vehicles (EVs), having a home charging station is becoming essential for EV owners. At Crown Electrical, we specialize in residential EV charging installations throughout Milwaukee, offering safe and reliable charging solutions tailored to your home.
With NEMA 14-50R outlets being the industry standard for Level 2 charging, it’s important to understand how to select the right charging station. Knowing the different charging options and installation requirements can make the process much easier.
What Is A Residential EV Charging Station?
A home EV charger allows you to charge your electric vehicle right at home, offering faster and safer charging compared to a regular outlet. While you could technically use a standard 120-volt wall outlet to charge your EV, it’s a very slow process that can take days to fully charge your vehicle. That’s where our NEMA 14-50R installations come into play. These 240-volt outlets are ideal for Level 2 chargers, offering a much faster charge, typically within hours rather than days.
Benefits of Installing A Residential EV Charging Station
Having a home EV charging station offers several key benefits:
Convenience: Charge your car overnight and wake up to a full battery. There’s no need to make trips to public charging stations.
Faster Charging: A NEMA 14-50R outlet offers much faster charging times than a standard outlet. Most EVs can be fully charged within a few hours.
Increased Home Value: Installing an EV charging station can increase your home’s resale value, making it more attractive to future buyers.
Safety: Our NEMA 14-50R outlets are designed for high-power EV charging, providing a safer and more reliable setup than makeshift charging solutions.
How To Choose The Right Residential EV Charging Station
Choosing the right EV charging station for your home comes down to a few important factors:
Charging Speed
One of the main things to consider is how fast you need to charge your vehicle. A standard outlet will eventually get the job done, but it’s incredibly slow. At Crown Electrical, we specialize in installing Level 2 charging stations using NEMA 14-50R outlets, which significantly speed up the process. Level 2 chargers are perfect for daily drivers who need to quickly recharge their vehicle overnight.
Installation Requirements
When it comes to installation, your home’s electrical system must be able to handle the increased load. That’s where we come in. Crown Electrical handles everything from inspecting your home’s current wiring to installing the 240-volt NEMA 14-50R outlet, ensuring everything is safely connected and up to code. We take care of the technical side, so all you need to worry about is plugging in your vehicle.
Location of the Charger
Another important decision is where you place your EV charging station. Whether you’re looking to install the charger in your garage or outside, our electrical technicians can help you find solutions that work for your space. Our installations are designed to be durable, weather-resistant, and convenient, giving you peace of mind no matter where you park.
