Types of EV Chargers

EV chargers deliver electricity to the on-board batteries of both all-electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). There are two main types of EV chargers: Alternating current (AC) chargers provide electricity to the vehicle via Level 1 and Level 2 chargers. Direct current (DC) chargers, also known as Level 3 fast chargers, provide electricity to the vehicle at a much faster rate (i.e. those found at on routes).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine if my property is suitable for an EV charger installation?

What is the process for installing an EV charger at my home?

The process begins with a feasibility assessment by a licensed electrical technician. If it’s feasible, we will then obtain the necessary permits for the installation. Once the permits are issued, our electrician will complete the installation work and schedule an inspection with the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) to ensure compliance and safety. After the inspection, your EV charger will be ready for use.

How do I choose the right charging equipment for my electric vehicle?

We help you select the most suitable charging equipment based on a thorough understanding of your specific energy needs, the type of vehicle you have, and the location where the EV charger will be installed. We consider factors like your vehicle’s charging capability, your typical driving patterns, and whether the charger is for residential or commercial use. Our team will recommend options that align with your requirements and ensure that your home or business has the necessary power capacity to support the chosen EV charger.
