Do I really need an EV charger installed?
When you break it down, most people have the ability to get their own EV charger installed. About 86% of people with electric vehicles can get a charger installed, but about 60% still rely on public charging stations.
How do you know if an EV charger installation in Mount Holly, NJ, is for you? Let’s break it down a bit.
Convenience
Sure, saving money is great, but the real bonus of a personal EV charger is convenience. Nobody wants to fit in charging station time around an already busy work schedule, not to mention dealing with peak times and crowded stations. With your own charger, you’ll be able to fully charge your car in your own home on your own time.
You Have Multiple EVs
If you’re a family that’s gone all in on electric vehicles and has more than one, you’re looking at double the time savings by installing your own. No more taking charging shifts at the local station.
You’ve Got a Long Range EV
Long-range electric vehicles can handle more juice than others and take longer to charge. Grabbing a Level 2 charging setup at home has all the power you need to fully charge your vehicle overnight and get you back on the road.
There’s Limited Charging Infrastructure Near You
Not all areas are lucky enough to have charging stations conveniently placed around the area. If your options are limited or annoyingly far away, springing for a personal EV charger installation will make a world of difference.
You Can Live Without One If…
Not everyone really needs an EV charger at their home. If you don’t need to drive that much, a simple Level 1 charger (plugs into a standard 120v outlet) will probably be enough. Reliable access to nearby charging that isn’t always slammed can also keep you running just fine. Hybrid vehicles with smaller electric batteries are also perfectly fine for simple Level 1 charging.
Common Types of EV Chargers
If you’re ready to invest in the convenience of home electric vehicle charging, let’s get into the different types you’ll be looking at.
- Level 1: Your basic EV charging setup that works with basic 120v electrical outlets. You won’t need extra wiring, and you’re usually given the necessary components with the purchase of your vehicle. Charging is extremely slow, though, and if you have a larger 60 kWh batter you could be looking at 50+ hours of charging time to fill up. These are perfect for low-mileage drivers or hybrid car owners.
- Level 2: As the next level in charging power, Level 2 chargers do require professional installation and require a bit of an investment. They do, however, charge much faster than a Level 1. They’re perfect for overnight chargers of most electric vehicles and usually come with some great smart features to customize your charging routine.
- Level 3: You’ll find these superfast chargers at public charging stations. They’re not compatible with all types of EVs and usually charge to use them.

EV Charger Installation FAQs
Can my electrical panel handle an EV charger?
Most modern homes have panels that can handle about 200 amps of power. If your home is on the older side, you’ll probably need an upgrade to your panel to support a Level 2 charger.
Where should I get my EV charger installed?
Finding the perfect spot for an EV charger is easy. You’ll want it to be close to where you park your car, so a garage should be your first choice. It should also be near your electrical panel; if that happens to also be in your garage, then great. Your charger also needs to be protected from the elements if at all possible.
Can I get a charger installed if I’m a renter?
This completely depends on your landlord. If you need electrical work to get a charger up and running, you’ll need everything in writing to complete the work. There are simpler options that work as a removable plug; that they may be more inclined to help you work out.
