Home EV Charger Installation: Level 1 vs Level 2
Planning EV charging installation at your Surrey home? You've got two main options:
Level 1 Charging Station:
This is just a regular wall outlet in your garage. Plug your car into any standard 120V outlet and wait. And wait some more. We're talking 12+ hours for a full charge. Fine for overnight if you don't drive much, but pretty limiting otherwise.
Level 2 Charging Station
Now we're talking. A Level 2 home EV charger installation cuts charging time down to 4-8 hours. Big difference when you actually need to drive somewhere. These run on 240V (like your dryer) and need proper electrical work to meet BC's electrical code.
That's where we come in. Our electric vehicle charger installers have done hundreds of Level 2 installations across Surrey, Langley, Delta, Abbotsford, and Chilliwack. We handle permits, electrical upgrades, everything.
There are rebates available that can cover a chunk of your EV charger installation costs. Worth checking out before you start.
Commercial EV Charging Station Installation
Running a business in Surrey or the Lower Mainland? EV charging stations aren't just nice to have anymore - they're smart business.
Got a company fleet? Commercial EV charger installation keeps your vehicles charged and ready. No more sending drivers hunting for charging stations or losing time with dead batteries.
For retail businesses, restaurants or offices, EV charging brings customers through your door. People spend 30-60 minutes charging, which means more time shopping, eating, or doing business with you.
Here's what our commercial electric vehicle charger installation gives you:
- Your fleet stays on the road instead of searching for charging.
- Charge multiple vehicles quickly with Level 2 and DC fast charging.
- Shows customers you care about the environment.
- EV owners choose businesses with charging over those without.
Our electric vehicle charger installers handle everything - Level 2 for daily charging, Level 3 DC fast charging for quick stops. We've done commercial EV charging installation across Surrey, Langley, Delta, Abbotsford, and Chilliwack.
Level 2 EV Charger Installation: Perfect for retail businesses, restaurants, and offices where customers spend 2-6 hours. Great for topping up employee vehicles or smaller company fleets too. People can shop, eat, or work while their car charges. Takes a few hours for a full charge, but that's usually plenty of time.
Level 3 EV Charger Installation: This is the fast stuff. Also called DC fast charging, Level 3 skips the car's converter and pumps power straight into the battery. We're talking 30-60 minutes for a full charge. Big fleets love these because trucks and vans can't sit around for hours. Yes, Level 3 EV charging station installation costs more upfront, but if you've got vehicles that need to stay on the road, it pays for itself.
Our electric vehicle charger installers handle both types throughout Surrey, Langley, Delta, Abbotsford, and Chilliwack. Level 2 for customer convenience, Level 3 for fleet efficiency.
