Types of EV Chargers We Install

Electric Car Charger Installation in Salem, Oregon

We install Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 EV charging systems throughout Salem, Oregon, helping homeowners and businesses select the right solution based on usage, property setup, and electrical capacity.

Level 1 EV Charger Installation

Level 1 chargers connect to a standard 120-volt outlet and are a practical choice for drivers with minimal daily travel. Charging speeds are slower, generally adding 5-12 miles of range per hour, but they’re effective for overnight use or as a backup option.

Our electricians ensure your outlet and circuit are properly configured to handle EV charging safely. If your system needs an upgrade to support your vehicle, we can help modernize your electrical setup.

Level 2 EV Charger Installation

Level 2 chargers are the preferred option for most EV owners thanks to their faster charging speeds and everyday convenience. Using a dedicated 240-volt circuit, they can deliver about 20-60 miles of range per hour, making them ideal for overnight charging.

Level 2 chargers are well-suited for:

• Daily commuters

• Homes with more than one EV

• Drivers who want quicker, more reliable charging

We can install either a hardwired system or a 240-volt outlet, depending on your needs. Whether you already have a charger or need guidance choosing one, we’ll ensure everything is installed safely and meets all code requirements. Many systems also include smart technology for remote access, scheduling, and energy tracking.

Level 3 EV Charger Installation

Level 3 chargers (also known as DC fast chargers) are designed for commercial and industrial applications where rapid charging is essential. These systems typically require 480-volt power and can charge most EVs in as little as 15 to 60 minutes.

While not common for residential use, we offer Level 3 installations for businesses and commercial lots and industrial facilities throughout the Salem area. From electrical service upgrades to coordinating with utility providers, our team handles the full scope of work to ensure safe, efficient operation.
