EV Charger Servicing and Installation

The electrical experts at Aardvark Electric offer a selection of EV home charger options with convenient features and advanced charging capabilities. Trust our team to install an EV charger in your home as part of our professional residential electric vehicle charger installation and service. 

Levels of EV Home Charger Devices

There are three different levels of electric vehicle charging devices available. Choosing  the best EV charger installation depends on various factors. The three types of EV chargers are:

• Level 1 Charger – Comes standard with new vehicle purchases
• Level 2 Charger – Much faster than Level 1
• Level 3 Charger – Industrial chargers (not available for home use)

The best home EV charger for you depends on your driving habits. Some people who don’t drive often may get by with a Level 1 charger. If you drive many miles each day or drive frequently, you’ll likely need Aardvark Electric to install a Level 2 charger for you.

Level 1 EV Chargers

Professional EV charger installation in Atlanta starts with Level 1 chargers. This type of electric vehicle charger comes standard with most electric vehicles and plugs into any standard three-prong outlet. As you might guess, this type tends to provide a very slow charge to vehicles. 

The best use for a Level 1 EV home charger is overnight use. Depending on your vehicle, a Level 1 charger can take 20 hours or more to charge a car battery. If this doesn’t suit your lifestyle, you might think about upgrading to a Level 2 EV charger.

Level 2 EV Chargers

The Level 2 EV charger is more advanced than a Level 1. It requires its own dedicated 240-volt circuit, which our experts must install properly in your garage. These Level 2 EV chargers do the job much faster, only requiring about three hours to charge a vehicle. 

While a Level 1 charger is still often included as standard with new electric vehicle purchases, an increasing number of manufacturers are now including Level 2 EV chargers instead. This is one of the most common types of EV charger installation that we install for customers.

Level 3 EV Chargers

The Level 3 charging station is the type you typically see in use at public charging locations. These powerful chargers can give a car battery enough power in just 30 minutes to drive about 150 miles. 

However, these standalone devices are not available to homeowners because of the industrial-level power draw. They are also prohibitively expensive. With that being said, you could have one installed at the site of an industrial building you own.
