EV Charger Installation

We even supply the permits for your convenience.

Benefits of EV Chargers

Electric cars are taking the world by storm as more people try to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and opt for a reliable, affordable source of transportation. Electric cars require less maintenance, making them far more accessible to drive. You won’t need oil changes, which makes them better for the environment.

FAQ

Do you provide residential EV charger installations in my area?

Absolutely, we offer home EV charger installation services in your area. Our skilled electricians are eager to assist you with this service. Please feel free to reach out to us, and we'll be happy to meet your EV charging needs.

What is a Level 1 (L1) charger and how does it operate?

A Level 1 (L1) charger, often referred to as a "trickle charger" or emergency cable, typically comes with your EV. It's the slowest charging option used as a backup. To use it, simply plug your EV into a standard power outlet. The L1 charger works with a standard 120-volt AC outlet, providing an average output of 1.3 kW to 2.4 kW. In simple terms, you can connect your L1 charger to a regular outlet, whether inside your garage or outdoors if one is available. It's the slowest way to charge your electric vehicle.

How speedy is a Level 1 (L1) charger?

In simple terms, an L1 charger is quite slow. It can take up to 24 hours to fully recharge your EV. This charger is suitable if you're not in a rush to power up your electric vehicle or for backup purposes. If you have time to spare and just need a gradual recharge, L1 charging is an option, but it's not the fastest way to replenish your EV's battery.

Is home rewiring necessary for EV charger installation?

No, you do not need to rewire your home to install a new EV charger. The installation of an EV charger typically does not require rewiring your entire house. Instead, it involves connecting the charger to your existing electrical system, ensuring it meets the necessary voltage and amperage requirements. In most cases, this can be done without the need for extensive rewiring, making it a relatively straightforward process to set up an EV charging station at your home.

Excellent service. Matt came out after hours to resolve an emergency situation where an outlet in our garage caught on fire. He was here within the hour and completed the work efficiently. In addition he communicated clearly all the necessary steps needed. We will definitely be calling him back for additional assistance in the future if the need arises.

Excellent service! We had a problem with some receptacles in a couple of rooms in our house. Tried the usual resetting the breakers and GFI plugs, but to no avail. Called Hi-Lite Electric based on a recommendation from a friend. Matthew from Hi-Lite come over, diagnosed and fixed the problem quickly and efficiently. He was very knowledgeable and kept me in the loop as what he was doing. His estimate was very accurate. I would highly recommend HiLite

I recently had the pleasure of having Matt from HiLite Electrical come over to replace my smoke alarm, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service provided. From the moment Matt arrived, it was clear he was not only highly skilled but also incredibly personable and professional. His attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring that the job was done efficiently and effectively. What truly set Matt apart was his commitment to going above and beyond. He was punctual, arriving right on time, which is a rarity these days. But more importantly, he took the time to explain the process, what the problem was, and why we couldn't get the unit from the foundation in the first place. He was also amazing to talk about in general (especially fitness, training and combat sports, relationships, and other things), and ensured everything was working perfectly before he considered his job done. I highly recommend Hi-Lite Electrical to anyone in need of electrical services. Their team, from speaking with Ang on the phone to set up the appointment (Happy Angela Day..that's an inside joke) to Matt getting it done, Hi-Lite exemplifies the kind of professionalism and expertise that is all too rare. Trust me, if you want a hassle-free, high-quality service, look no further than Hi-Lite Electrical. A big thank you to Ang and Matt for not just meeting, but exceeding my expectations! Super Happy Customer! Funk Roberts
