Types of EV Chargers We Install

Electric Car Charger Installation in Portland, Oregon

We offer full-service installation for Level 1 chargers, Level 2 chargers, and Level 3 EV charging stations, based on your home or business needs.

Level 1 Charger Installation

Level 1 chargers typically use a 120-volt or 240-volt outlet and are ideal for drivers who don’t need to charge their vehicle daily. While this option charges at a slower pace, adding about 5 to 12 miles of range per hour, it’s perfect for occasional use or as a backup charging solution.

We can install the appropriate outlet for your vehicle’s charger and ensure it’s ready for safe and consistent use. Learn more about our residential electrical services to see how we support your home’s overall electrical needs.

Level 2 Charger Installation

For most EV owners, Level 2 charging is the sweet spot. This setup uses a dedicated 240-volt circuit and can charge your vehicle overnight, delivering 20 to 60 miles of range per hour.

We recommend Level 2 chargers for:

• Daily drivers
• Households with multiple electric vehicles
• Those looking for fast, reliable overnight charging

Our electricians can install a hardwired charger or set up a compatible outlet. We can provide the home EV charger itself or work with a unit you supply. For users who want added convenience and features, many modern chargers can connect to the internet for scheduling, monitoring, or smart charge functionality.

Level 3 Charger Installation

Level 3 chargers, also known as DC fast chargers, are typically used in commercial or industrial environments due to their high voltage (480V) requirements. These systems allow for ultra-fast charging, completely refilling a battery in as little as 15 to 60 minutes.

While not common in residential applications, we do offer Level 3 installations for businesses and commercial lots or industrial facilities. We’ll handle new service setup, transformer access, and all necessary upgrades, including those that require electrical upgrades to meet code and performance standards.
