BEFORE YOUR EV CHARGER INSTALLATION RICHMOND
All EV chargers need a dedicated circuit in the panel. If you don’t have the space in your current panel, a sub-panel may be installed to accommodate the new circuit. If you have an 100 amp panel installed in your home, you will need to upgrade to a 200 amp panel for EV Charger Installation.
HOW DO I DETERMINE IF MY STATION NEEDS TO BE HARDWIRED?
A hardwired charging station can be installed either indoors or outdoors. However it is always recommended to hardwire any outdoor installations. A hardwired installation provides more installation flexibility than the 240V supply plug. They are especially recommended for Level 2 charging stations that continuously use power where hardwiring will provide the best connection.
