EV Charger Installation

Ensure that all power sources to the installation site are turned off at the circuit breaker panel to prevent any risk of electrical shock.

Verify that the electrical system has enough capacity for the EV charger, including amperage and voltage. Consult local building codes and the charger's specifications.

Assemble all necessary tools and materials for the installation based on the charger manufacturer’s recommendations. Common tools include wire strippers, screwdrivers, and a drill.

Select a mounting location in the home garage near the vehicle's charging port. Securely mount the charger to the wall, ensuring it's within reach of the vehicle when parked.

Run appropriate electrical wiring from the circuit breaker to the charger location, adhering to electrical codes. Connect the wiring to the charger's terminals as per the provided instructions.

Install a dedicated circuit for the EV charger in the circuit breaker panel. Use the appropriate circuit breaker to match the charger's amperage requirements.

Inspect the installation for any loose connections, ensuring all wiring is secure and the charger is properly mounted and grounded.

Once the installation is confirmed to be safe and up to code, turn the power back on at the circuit breaker and test the charger for proper operation.

Check with local authorities regarding permit requirements for installing EV charges as these can vary by location.

Consider hiring a licensed electrician, especially if you are not experienced with home electrical systems or local codes require it.
