As electric vehicles become more common, homeowners in Erie and surrounding areas are turning to at-home EV chargers for convenience and savings.
Level 1: Plugs into a standard outlet, charges slowly (adds 3–5 miles of range per hour).
Level 2: Requires a 240-volt circuit, adds 25–30 miles per hour, ideal for overnight charging.
Many older homes don’t have enough available capacity for a Level 2 charger. A licensed electrician can inspect your panel, determine load capacity, and install a dedicated circuit safely.
Installing an EV charger may require a local permit. Some Pennsylvania utilities offer rebates or incentives for EV equipment installation — a great way to offset costs.
All EV charger installations must follow National Electrical Code (NEC) standards. Professional installation ensures proper grounding, weather protection, and surge control.
