Why More Homeowners in Lincoln, CA Are Installing EV Chargers at Home
Electric vehicles are becoming more common throughout Lincoln, Rocklin, Roseville, Loomis, and Auburn, and with that comes one of the biggest questions new EV owners ask:
Should I install a home EV charger?
For most homeowners, the answer is yes.
While every electric vehicle includes a basic charging option, a professionally installed Level 2 home EV charger makes owning an electric vehicle much more convenient. Faster charging, added convenience, and the ability to start every morning with a full battery are just a few of the reasons more California homeowners are making the upgrade.
If you've recently purchased—or are considering purchasing—an electric vehicle, here's what you should know before installing a charger at your home.
What Is a Level 2 EV Charger?
Most electric vehicles come with a standard Level 1 charging cable that plugs into a regular 120-volt outlet. While it works, charging can take an entire day or longer depending on your vehicle and daily driving habits.
A professionally installed Level 2 EV charger uses a dedicated 240-volt circuit, allowing your vehicle to charge significantly faster. For many homeowners, this means plugging in after work and waking up to a fully charged vehicle every morning.
Whether you drive a Tesla, Rivian, Ford, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Honda, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Nissan, or another electric vehicle, a Level 2 charger can make daily charging much easier.
Is Your Electrical Panel Ready?
Before installing an EV charger, it's important to make sure your home's electrical system can safely support the additional electrical load.
Some homes already have enough capacity, while others may require a dedicated 240-volt circuit or an electrical panel upgrade.
At Springtown Electric, every installation starts with evaluating your home's existing electrical system. If upgrades are needed, we'll explain your options and recommend only what's necessary to complete a safe, code-compliant installation.
Our goal is to provide a charging solution that's built to last while protecting your home's electrical system.
