What is involved in installing a Level 2 charger?

Installing a Level 2 home charger typically requires a dedicated 240V circuit connected to your electrical panel. Your electrician will perform a load calculation to confirm your panel has sufficient capacity, then install the necessary wiring and breaker. Depending on the charger, it can be hardwired or connected to a compatible outlet, such as a NEMA 14-50. Your electrician will also handle required permitting and inspections. If your panel doesn’t have sufficient capacity, a panel upgrade or other electrical work may be needed.
