EV Charger FAQs
Yes, you will need both a permit and a licensed master electrician to install an Electric Vehicle (EV) charger in your home or business near Baltimore, MD. These requirements exist to keep yourself and others safe from a possible error in do-it-yourself installation, which can be quite dangerous when involving electrical work. Our licensed and trained electricians will make sure your charger is put in correctly and is current with local permits.
An electric car charger will cost Reisterstown homeowners between $750 - $4,000 to be installed. Every electrical installation is different based on the home’s existing service panel size, distance from the panel to the charger, and the ability to fish wiring through the home. In addition, the price will be affected by:
- Location
- Existing Service
- Any Trenching Required
- Brand/Quality of Charger
- Any Permit Fees
Our licensed technicians are highly trained and have years of experience working with EV chargers. We are happy to answer any questions about price or process you may have. Did you know that Maryland offers rebates to residents and businesses that install electric vehicle chargers?
The basic process to hook up an electric car charger is as follows:
- A load calculation is run on your existing electrical panel to determine if it has the capacity to have a charger installed, as car chargers use a lot of power.
- Next wiring is installed from the panel to the charger, which might involve trenching a PVA conduit or fishing Romex wiring.
- After wiring new GFCI breakers are installed to the panel and charger itself.
- When everything is in, we will test to make sure the charger is working properly.
Electric car chargers can either be inside or outside, and either free standing or on a wall. Our technicians will advise you what location would be best for your charger and guide you through the entire process.
The short answer is yes, you could use a dryer plug but the charging speed will be very slow. Is it ideal? No.
Electric Vehicles Are Everywhere
Electric vehicles are becoming more popular each year. They are known for virtually eliminating car emissions and saving the owner money on expensive fuel. Once rare, electric vehicles have become far more common; the number of EVs on American roads increased to about 1 million in 2018.
You’ve probably noticed that spaces for electric cars have popped up at shopping centers and stadiums and some gas stations. If you already have an electric vehicle or you are considering the possibility, consider an Electric Vehicle Charging station at home.
Electric cars may come with prowess, but they don’t come with home EV charging stations. That’s why you’ll need the help of Stella’s expert installers to incorporate your charging station into your home safely.
