Home EV Charger Installation: The Basics
There are two main types of home EV chargers: Level 1 and Level 2. Each has its own advantages, and the right option depends on your driving habits, vehicle range, budget, and electrical capacity at home.
⚙️ Level 1 Charging (Standard Outlet)
- Voltage: 120V (standard household outlet)
- Speed: ~4–5 miles of range per hour of charging
- Best For: Light daily driving, plug-in hybrids, or overnight trickle charging
Level 1 chargers are simple and budget-friendly. Many EVs come with a Level 1 charger that plugs directly into your home’s existing outlets. If you only drive a short distance each day and can leave your car plugged in overnight, this might be all you need.
We install dedicated 120V outlets on a dedicated circuit for Level 1 charging, so you’re not overloading an existing line. This adds safety and efficiency to your basic setup.
⚡ Level 2 Charging (Faster Home Charging)
- Voltage: 240V (requires a dedicated circuit)
- Speed: ~20–60 miles of range per hour of charging
- Best For: Daily EV driving, longer commutes, fully electric vehicles
Level 2 chargers offer faster, more practical charging for most EV drivers. Whether it’s a Tesla Model Y, Nissan Leaf, Chevy Bolt, or Ford Mustang Mach-E, Level 2 is the go-to choice for convenient overnight charging at home.
Henco installs both hardwired Level 2 chargers and NEMA 14-50 outlets, giving you flexibility based on your vehicle and home layout.
