ORANGE COUNTY ELECTRICIANS WITH 20+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

Electric vehicles (EVs) continue to grow in popularity as the cost for gasoline remains high. Although they are great for their unparalleled fuel economy, charging electric vehicles can be a setback. The challenge of slow charging methods can be overcome by installing an EV charging station. Electric vehicle owners who would like the ability to quickly charge their cars at home need only call Square One Electrical for EV charger installation in Huntington Beach.

For more information about installing an EV charging station, call (714) 274-3053 or contact us online.

 

TYPES OF EV CHARGERS

There are three primary options for charging an electric vehicle: level 1 chargers, level 2 chargers, and DC fast charging. It’s important to choose the charger that best meets the owner’s needs and budget.

 

The options available for EV chargers include:

Level 1 charging – Level 1 EV chargers don’t require any additional equipment since the cord plugs directly into a standard outlet. The downside of this type of charger is slowness. Level 1 chargers only provide about 4.5 miles for every hour of charge. This is too slow for many people’s schedules.

Level 2 charging – The most popular option for EV owners is to install a Level 2 charger. This type of charging station requires the installation of additional hardware by an electrician. It is faster than a Level 1 charger and more affordable than DC fast charging. The State of California offers rebates for Level 2 chargers that are installed in homes and businesses.

DC fast charging – DC fast chargers are the fastest charging option available for electric vehicles. They can provide about 40 miles of range every 10 minutes. Because these systems cost up to $100,000 and require more power than most homes can handle, they are usually only installed on commercial properties.

 

SIGNS AN EV CHARGER REQUIRES REPAIRS

When an EV charger isn’t performing as it should, it’s important to know what to look for so an electrician can be contacted right away. The sooner repairs are made, the more likely major damage will be prevented.

There are several warning signs of EV charger malfunction, including:

  • The car is taking longer than usual to charge
  • A household’s energy bills are higher than normal
  • The charger does not stay in the port properly
  • There is voltage fluctuation during a charging session
  • The charging station is making loud, strange noises
  • There is a burning smell when the unit is operating

Our electricians are trained to troubleshoot and get to the source of any EV charger issue as soon as possible.

 

SHOULD AN EV CHARGER BE INSTALLED BY A PROFESSIONAL?

Installing a Level 2 EV charger is a technical process. If done incorrectly, it could cause the charging station to malfunction, or even cause an electric shock or fire. It’s recommended to hire an electrician to handle the installation of a Level 2 EV charging station.

Our Happy Customers

SquareOne is simply fantastic to work with. They were extremely responsive with their estimate and worked within my budget to get everything I wanted done. I got them to install a whole house surge suppressor, a dedicated 60AMP power box, re-routed a coax cable from the loft into the basement. These guys came on time as advertised and did a splendid job at the house

SquareOne Electrical did a great job installing our EV charger and a light fixture. They even fixed an outlet that wasn't working. The front office was quick and efficient. The installers were all professional and friendly. I highly recommend them. They got the job done!

Miguel has been great to work with. They have helped to upgrade the electrical panels and old knob & tube wiring at several homes for my clients. I use them for inspections on commercial properties which often have complex wiring and electrical systems. I highly recommend this company and trust them to get the job done properly.

SquareOne Electrical are one of the best electrical contractors in Huntington Beach CA. I’ve used them multiple times for various electrical work around the house. Always professional and cost effective for my budget.
We had an issue with our breakers and no power on a Sunday morning. They were able to come out within a couple hours and worked very quickly to get the power back on so we could open our business.
Highly recommend them! We will continue to use them.
Our electrical panel was installed, in 1 day. The tech was well prepared and worked seemingly. He was thorough and thoughtful. When asked a question or advise he was knowledgeable and forthright. I recommend Miguel for your next home project! We were very pleased with the end result. Thank you!
