EV Chargers
At Damn Fine Jobs, we're committed to supporting the transition to sustainable transportation by providing expert EV charger installation services. Our focus is on Level 2 chargers, which offer significant advantages for home and light commercial use.
Our EV charger installation service begins with a thorough consultation. We assess your specific needs, taking into account factors such as your daily driving distance, the type of electric vehicle you own or plan to purchase, and your property's electrical capacity. This personalized approach ensures that we recommend a charging solution that perfectly fits your lifestyle or business requirements.
Residential Installations
For residential installations, we offer a range of options from basic Level 1 chargers to more advanced Level 2 units that provide faster charging times. We understand that your home's aesthetics are important, so we prioritize clean, unobtrusive installations. Our team is skilled at concealing wiring and positioning chargers in a way that complements your home's exterior.
Business Installations
For businesses, we provide scalable solutions that can accommodate multiple charging stations. Whether you're looking to offer charging as an amenity for employees or customers, or you're developing a dedicated EV charging station, we have the expertise to handle projects of any size.
Safety and Compliance
Safety and compliance are paramount in all our EV charger installations. We ensure that all installations meet or exceed local electrical codes and safety standards. Our team is well-versed in the specific requirements for EV charger installations, including proper grounding, circuit protection, and load calculations.
We also recognize that EV charging technology is rapidly evolving. That's why we stay up-to-date with the latest advancements and can provide future-proof installations that can be easily upgraded as technology progresses. We can even integrate some EV chargers with solar panels or home energy management systems for maximum efficiency and cost savings.
Level 1 EV Chargers
The Slow and Steady Option Level 1 chargers are the most basic and slowest type of electric vehicle charging equipment. These chargers use a standard 120-volt household outlet, making them easily accessible but limited in charging speed.
Charging Speed:
- Level 1 chargers typically provide about 3 to 5 miles of range per hour of charging.
- For a battery electric vehicle (BEV) with a 60 kWh battery, it can take 40-50+ hours to charge from empty to 80% capacity.
- For plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) with smaller batteries, it may take 5-6 hours to fully charge.
Practical Implications:
- A full charge for a BEV with 200 miles of range could take around 35 to 50 hours.
- This slow charging rate means Level 1 chargers are best suited for overnight charging or for drivers with very short daily commutes.
- They may not be sufficient for drivers who frequently need to recharge their vehicles quickly or those with long daily driving distances.
Use Cases:
- Level 1 chargers are most commonly used for home charging, especially in situations where installing a Level 2 charger is not feasible or necessary.
- They can be adequate for PHEVs or for BEV owners who drive limited distances daily and have ample time to charge overnight.
While Level 1 chargers are the slowest option available, they do offer the advantage of being able to plug into any standard household outlet without requiring any special installation. However, for many EV owners, especially those with longer commutes or larger battery capacities, the slow charging speed of Level 1 chargers often necessitates upgrading to a faster Level 2 charging solution.
Level 2 Chargers: The Best Level for Home Charging
Level 2 chargers are the preferred choice for most EV owners due to their balance of charging speed, convenience, and cost-effectiveness. Here's why we recommend them:
1. Faster Charging Times
- Charge Rate: Level 2 chargers typically deliver 12 to 60 miles of range per hour of charging, depending on the vehicle and charger specifications.
- Full Charge Overnight: Most EVs can be fully charged overnight with a Level 2 charger, ensuring you start each day with a full battery.
- Comparison: Level 2 chargers are 3-7 times faster than Level 1 (standard 120V outlet) charging.
2. Increased Convenience for Daily Use
- Plug-and-Play: Simply plug in your EV when you get home, and it's ready to go in the morning.
- Smart Charging: Many Level 2 chargers offer smart features like scheduling, remote monitoring, and integration with home energy management systems.
- Multiple Vehicle Support: With faster charging times, Level 2 chargers can more easily support households with multiple EVs.
3. Higher Power Output
- Power Range: Level 2 chargers operate at 240V and can deliver up to 19.2 kW of power, though most home installations are in the 7.2-11.5 kW range.
- Future-Proofing: The higher power output of Level 2 chargers ensures compatibility with future EV models that may have larger battery capacities.
- Flexibility: Level 2 chargers can adjust their output to match your EV's charging capabilities, ensuring optimal charging for various models.
