Level 1 and Level 2 charging
Level 1 charging uses a standard household outlet and is slow. Level 2 charging uses a 240 volt circuit and charges much faster, which is why most EV owners install one at home.
What the electrician checks
- Whether your panel has enough capacity for a new circuit, or needs an upgrade.
- The distance from the panel to where you park.
- Whether a hardwired charger or a 240 volt outlet suits your charger and vehicle.
- Permit and inspection requirements in Tulsa.
Common questions
Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?
Not always. It depends on your panel's capacity and what else your home uses. The electrician will check before quoting.
Should I buy the charger first?
Ask the electrician before you buy. They can confirm which charger and circuit suit your panel and vehicle.
Your call or request goes to an independent local electrical business, which quotes for and carries out the work. How this service works
