Professional EV Charger Installation Services in Lancaster, PA
Electrical vehicles have grown in popularity within Lancaster County. Whether it’s because of skyrocketing gas prices, lower EV maintenance and repair costs, wanting to reduce one’s carbon footprint, or taking advantage of tax incentives, EVs are becoming a must-have. For these eco-friendly, cost-conscious customers, investing in an EV charger installation in Montgomery County, PA, provides substantial returns.
GB Electric can install an electric car charger for customers who need a Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 charging station. Whether it’s the Lancaster County company needing a high-powered Level 3 charging station for their numerous EV delivery trucks, an EV owner who drives their vehicle daily and needs a Level 2 charging station, or the homeowner who doesn’t drive their EV as often and needs a Level 1 electric car charger installation, GB Electric does it all.
How Does an Electric Car Charger Work?
Simply put, charging an electric vehicle is largely the same as charging any other electrical equipment, albeit with more power needed for a longer duration. Your Lancaster home or business has alternating current (AC) power from an electricity company. The electric car charger we install receives the AC and provides it to your EV, which then turns that AC power to DC power and stores it within your vehicle’s battery.
A Level 1 electric car charger typically needs about two full days – or 48 hours – to fully charge an all-electric vehicle. This is the more affordable electric car charger as it can operate through a 120-volt AC outlet – something all Lancaster homes have. A Level 1 car charger may only need four to five hours to charge for a plug-in hybrid.
A Level 2 electric car charger installation would involve our electricians installing a 240-volt electrical outlet in your home’s garage. This would allow you to charge a fully electric vehicle in about 12 to 14 hours and a plug-in hybrid in approximately six to eight hours, depending on the type of vehicle.
Finally, a Level 3 electric car charger installation would require our electricians to install a much larger 480-volt electrical system. With the ability to fully charge up to 225 miles per hour, this is ideally suited to large businesses managing multiple EVs.
Advantages of Installing a Home EV Charger
There are numerous benefits to having one of our electricians install an electric car charger for your Lancaster home or business. The first and most obvious benefit is that you’re no longer having to deal with the constantly rising gas or diesel prices. Second, with a home EV charger, you can charge your EV overnight, wake up, and leave without ever having to worry about stopping for gas. This convenience is especially important during the cold winter months.
Third, having a home EV charger for your EV vehicle ensures your vehicle is charged within your garage and in the safety of your own home. While public EV chargers are convenient, leaving your vehicle charging can result in theft or break-ins.
Finally, having a home charger ensures you’re constantly charging your battery, which helps to extend its life. It is never advisable to let the battery drain before charging.
