Types of EV Chargers We Install

EV Charger Installation Services in Hood River, Oregon

We install Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 EV charging systems for homes and businesses throughout Hood River, helping you choose the right setup based on your usage, property, and electrical capacity.

Level 1 EV Charger Installation

Level 1 chargers plug into a standard 120-volt outlet and are a simple solution for drivers with shorter daily commutes. They provide slower charging, typically adding 5-12 miles of range per hour, but are effective for overnight charging or occasional use.

Our electricians will ensure your outlet and circuit are properly installed and protected for safe, reliable charging. If your electrical system needs upgrades, we can take care of that as well.

Level 2 EV Charger Installation

Level 2 chargers are the most common choice for homeowners, offering faster charging and greater convenience. Powered by a dedicated 240-volt circuit, they can provide approximately 20-60 miles of range per hour, making them ideal for overnight charging.

Level 2 chargers are well-suited for:

• Daily commuters

• Multi-vehicle households

• Drivers who want quicker charging at home

We can install a hardwired charger or a 240-volt outlet, depending on your setup. Whether you already have a unit or need help selecting one, we ensure everything is installed safely and up to code. Many Level 2 chargers also include smart features like remote access, scheduling, and energy tracking.

Level 3 EV Charger Installation

Level 3 chargers, or DC fast chargers, are designed for commercial and industrial environments where rapid charging is required. These systems typically run on 480-volt power and can charge most EVs in as little as 15-60 minutes.

Although not typically used in residential settings, we offer Level 3 charger installation for businesses and commercial lots and industrial facilities in the Hood River area. Our team manages the entire process, including electrical upgrades and coordination with utility providers, to ensure safe, efficient operation.
