    EV Charger Installation: What Florida Homeowners Need to Know

    Home EV charging is one of the most practical upgrades for Florida EV owners. Here is what you need to know before installation.

    Level 1 vs Level 2

    Level 1 uses a standard 120V outlet and adds 3-5 miles per hour. Level 2 uses a dedicated 240V circuit and adds 15-30 miles per hour.

    Panel Requirements

    A Level 2 charger requires a dedicated 40-60 amp circuit. Your panel must have sufficient capacity, verified by a load calculation.

    Permits and Inspection

    EV charger installation requires a permit and inspection in Florida. We handle all permitting for you.
