What affects the price
Installing an EV charger isn't a one-size-fits-all job. The final cost depends on your home’s existing electrical setup and how much distance we need to cover from your panel to where your vehicle parks. If your electrical panel needs an upgrade to handle the extra load, or if the wiring requires trenching through concrete or drywall, those factors push the price higher. We evaluate your specific garage or driveway setup to provide a clear estimate. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
Public charging stations are locations equipped with fast chargers for drivers who are on the road. While we focus on installing home units, understanding where these stations are helps you plan your trips. If you find yourself relying too heavily on public stations, it is time to consider installing a private charger at home to save time. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Frequently asked in New Haven
Can I just plug my EV into a regular outlet?
You can plug your EV into a standard 120V outlet for a slow trickle charge, but it will take a very long time. For practical charging in New Haven, especially in neighborhoods like Fair Haven, you'll want a Level 2 charger. These systems are designed to deliver power much faster and more efficiently. A Level 2 installation is a significant upgrade from a basic outlet. It ensures your car is ready when you need it.

What are Revel charging stations?
What's the difference between Level 2 and other charging stations?
Level 2 charging stations are the most common and practical for home use in areas like New Haven. They use a 240-volt circuit, similar to a clothes dryer, and significantly speed up charging times compared to a standard 120-volt outlet (Level 1). Higher levels exist for ultra-fast public charging, but Level 2 offers the best balance of speed and affordability for residential setups. It’s the sweet spot for most EV owners.
Are there public charging stations available?
Yes, New Haven has public charging stations available in various locations. You can find them in parking garages and at some commercial properties. However, relying solely on public charging can be inconvenient, especially during peak hours or if you need a quick top-up. Having your own home charger, particularly in dense neighborhoods, offers unmatched convenience and reliability for your daily driving needs.
