EV Charger Electricians in Arlington Heights, IL

Electric vehicles have several advantages over traditional vehicles that are powered by combustion engines that run on gasoline.  Electric vehicles are much more eco-friendly, and they are less expensive to operate than vehicles that need to be filled with gas.  Another major advantage is that electric vehicles can be charged conveniently at your home with no need to run to a gas station or find a public EV charger.

At Nu-Trend, we make EV charging at home a possibility with EV home charger installation services in Arlington Heights, IL, and the surrounding areas.  Our electricians are certified to install level 2 EV charging stations in homes and ensure that your electrical infrastructure is equipped to handle the power demands of the station.  Having a level 2 charger installed in your home will allow convenient overnight charging so your vehicle is always ready to go.

EV Charger Installation in Arlington Heights, IL

People who own electric vehicles overwhelmingly prefer to charge their vehicles at home because of the convenience.  When you purchase an electric vehicle, it typically comes with a level 1 charger that can work when plugged into a standard outlet.  While these chargers help, they are not very powerful as they only add about 3-5 miles per hour of charging.  It can take more than 24 hours to charge an electric vehicle using only a level 1 charger.

Level 2 chargers are more powerful than level 1 chargers and provide faster charging at home.  These chargers can give the battery of your electric vehicle a full charge within 10 hours which means you can charge your electric vehicle overnight.  Level 2 charging stations require the same amount of voltage as a large appliance such as a water heater or dryer.
