Getting a new Electric Vehicle is one of the most popular ways to save money on gas and reduce your environmental impact. But one of the most common challenges once you’ve acquired your new vehicle? Finding a reliable source for charging your battery. And while there are far more options available for public charging stations than ever before, there’s nothing quite like powering up your main vehicle from the comfort of your home. Here’s how Rush Electric in Collierville and Shelby County can make that happen.
When you get a licensed electrician from Rush Electric to install your home EV charging station, they’ll tap into your home’s electrical panel and run it out to a dedicated port. Benefits include:
Rush Electric prioritizes your convenience and will install your stationary EV charging station. There’s also the possibility of tax credits and utility incentives based on current legislation. These can always change so we recommend checking first to verify any claims and whether or not you qualify prior to requesting service.
If you’ve looked it up already, you’ve probably seen the different types of EV chargers available. EV charging is defined by two main types: AC and DC. Buildings are wired with AC power but EV batteries need DC to charge.
It’s considered impractical to install a Level 3 charger at home unless it’s a multi-family property such as an apartment complex. Rush Electric offers fast and convenient EV charging installation Collierville residents can count on for their new vehicle.
How long does EV charger installation take?
A typical job installing a new EV charging station usually takes just a few hours. Since we’re running a line from the panel it depends on the panel condition, distance from the charger and other factors. Newer Collierville and Shelby county homes may require less prep than older, historic ones. We will go over all of these during your initial estimate.
Are EV chargers safe to install on my own?
In general we do not recommend DIY electrical work including when you’re working with a high-voltage system such as an EV charger. Permanent charger installs must follow local permitting and codes from the NEC. Calling a professional electrician not only keeps you safe but saves you time with our expertise and equipment on standby.
