EV Charger Installation

Most of our customers need the level 2 charger. This charger can be installed in your garage or in the area where you park your car.

It takes about four hours to install an EV charger. We can supply and install your charger without the need for additional equipment. However, installation requires a dedicated line to the panel whether we install it in your garage or outside. All work is performed to adhere to the ESA guidelines.

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. You’ll get better mileage from using your EV charger and reduce general maintenance costs over the life of your car.

Driving an EV car is an exhilarating experience with lots of power. You also feel good knowing you are driving an eco-friendly car that’s not emitting harmful gases!

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.

We contacted Hi-Lite Electric Inc because of potentially life-threatening electrical issues we are having in our apartment that have been neglected and ignored by the property management. Luciano offered helpful advice as to how to approach the situation and find a solution; as well as providing the right contact information. He seemed like a genuine, empathic person with solid morals and was glad to help out without charging us anything due to genuine personal concern. I am very grateful people like him are still around. Thank you.
