Types of EV Chargers Available
We can install one of the following chargers, depending on the requirements of your property:
Level 1 chargers use a standard 120-volt household outlet and are the most basic type of EV charging. They usually increase the range by about three to five miles per hour, which is great for charging overnight or for people who don't drive much during the day.
Level 2 chargers use a 220-volt supply and charge an EV much faster than Level 1 chargers. They provide a range of about 12 to 80 miles per hour.
DC fast chargers, or DCFC, offer a speedy charging solution. They use direct current (DC) to significantly reduce charging times, allowing you to gain 60 to 100 miles of range in just 20 minutes. They are very helpful in public and commercial places where fast results are needed.

How to Choose the Best EV Charger for Your Carson City Property
When choosing an EV charger for your home, keep these considerations in mind:
Assess your vehicle's requirements: Electric cars have different charging capacities based on their make and model. Check your vehicle's manual or manufacturer's website for charging requirements and compatibility.
Consider your daily driving distance: Analyze your average daily mileage to determine how quickly you need to recharge your EV. A Level 2 charger might be more beneficial if you frequently drive long distances due to its faster charging capabilities.
Evaluate installation space and electrical capacity: Consider the space available for installing an EV charger and whether your current electrical system can handle the required output, particularly for Level 2 chargers.
Think about future needs: When selecting a charger, make sure it can meet your current needs and handle any future requirements, like a higher charging capacity if you plan to upgrade your vehicle. This will help future-proof your investment.
Budget and incentives: Determine your budget for purchasing and installing an EV charger. Research local or federal incentives that might be available to offset some costs.
Once you choose your charging system, our electricians will install the charger, handle all the wiring, and connect the system to your home's electrical network. After we’ve finished the installation, we conduct thorough testing to check if the charger works at its best, complies with regulations, and meets all necessary codes.
We provide a thorough tutorial on how to use your new EV charger and share maintenance tips to keep it in top condition. Our support extends beyond the installation, as we are available to answer any follow-up questions or concerns you might have.
Charging times vary depending on the type of charger and the vehicle’s battery capacity. Level 1 chargers can take up to 20 hours for a full charge, Level 2 chargers usually take 4 to 8 hours, and Level 3 chargers can provide an 80% charge in 20-30 minutes.
Can I install an EV charger at home?
Yes, most homeowners can install a Level 1 or Level 2 charger in their garage or driveway. It’s important to consult with a professional electrician to ensure the installation meets safety standards and local codes.
Do I need a permit to install an EV charger?
In most cases, a permit is required for installing a Level 2 or Level 3 charger to ensure the installation meets local electrical codes. Enhanced Electrical Services can assist with the permitting process.
How do I choose the right EV charger for my needs?
Consider factors such as your driving habits, the battery capacity of your EV, and your home or business’s electrical capacity. Our team can help you select the best charger based on your specific requirements.
Are there incentives for installing EV chargers?
Yes, many states and utilities offer rebates, tax credits, or other incentives for installing EV chargers. We can help you navigate these options to maximize your savings.
What maintenance is required for an EV charger?
EV chargers require minimal maintenance, but it’s important to keep the charging station clean and periodically inspect it for any signs of wear or damage. Enhanced Electrical Services offers maintenance plans to ensure your charger remains in optimal condition.
Can multiple EVs charge at the same time?
Yes, if you install a multi-port charging station, multiple EVs can be charged simultaneously. This is a great option for businesses or households with more than one EV.
How does charging an EV affect my electricity bill?
Charging an EV will increase your electricity usage, but it is generally cheaper than gasoline. The exact cost will depend on your electricity rate and the efficiency of your EV.
