Will installing an EV charger increase my home insurance premium?

Potentially. Adding a dedicated EV charger may prompt your insurer to review your electrical system, since it increases the load. If the inspection reveals outdated wiring or inadequate service, you might face higher premiums or be asked to upgrade. On the flip side, a professionally installed charger can improve safety and reduce risk, which could help maintain or even lower rates.

How do I know if my garage or parking spot is physically suitable for charger installation?

Beyond electrical capacity, a qualified installer will assess physical access, cable routing, clearance around the charger, outlet height, and weather protection (if outdoors). For example, mounting must allow safe insertion of the plug, and outdoors installations may need weather-rated components or enclosures. This ensures the unit operates safely and lasts longer.

What should I expect for maintenance after the EV charger is installed?

After installation, you should periodically inspect connections for wear, check that the mounting remains secure, ensure the unit is clean and free from debris, verify firmware or app updates (for smart chargers), and monitor any changes in performance. While home units don’t require heavy ongoing maintenance, a yearly check-in can help catch issues early.

Do I need a dedicated circuit for my EV charger, or can it share with other appliances?

For safe and optimal performance, a dedicated circuit is strongly recommended. Sharing a circuit with large appliances can lead to overloads, slower charging and increased risk of breaker trips. Most Level 2 chargers require a dedicated 240 V line sized for the charger’s amperage.

What happens if I upgrade my vehicle later or add a second EV? Will my charger still work?

Possibly yes, but it depends on your system’s headroom. If your original installation anticipated future upgrades, your panel and circuit may be sized to handle additional load. If not, adding a faster charger or second unit might require panel upgrades, wiring changes, or load-management features. It’s wise to discuss future needs at the start so your installer can plan accordingly.

Called them to book a quote for services for a home generator, they were very helpful walking me through the process and what it would take to install one and the timeline of it. The crew showed up very professional and performed the needed work. Very happy and also signed up for their membership to keep a routine maintenance going. Would use again and recommend.
