How to Prepare Your Home for an EV Charger Installation

Installing an EV charger at home is a convenient step toward embracing electric mobility. However, proper preparation is essential to ensure a smooth installation process. Here’s a checklist to guide you:

  1. Evaluate Your Power Requirements

Make sure your home’s electrical system can support the added load. For example, a Level 2 charger requires a dedicated circuit and operates on a higher voltage, typically between 240V and 400V.

  1. Inspect Your Electrical Panel

Check if there’s enough power load availability in your electrical panel to accommodate the new circuit. If not, you may need an upgrade.

  1. Obtain Necessary Permits and Authority approvals

Depending on your installation, you may need permits from the community. And sometimes the installation might require approval from power distribution authorities. Work with a provider like Emagine, which can guide you through the permitting and approval process.

  1. Choose the Right Charger Placement

Select a location that is convenient, weather-protected, and close to where you park your EV. Consider cable length and accessibility when deciding.

  1. Plan for Future Needs

If you’re likely to add more EVs or upgrade your charger in the future, plan for a scalable setup.

  1. Work with a Certified Installer
