How can I prepare my home to install an EV charger?

Here are some steps to consider before purchasing and installing an EV charger:

​

1. Before buying a charger, understand your EV's battery capacity and the type of plug connector it requires to ensure compatibility and sufficient power.

2. Decide between a wall-mounted charging station or a portable Level 2 charging cord, which may necessitate professional installation of a 240v NEMA outlet. Also, determine if a smart charger that connects to the Internet and manufacturer's mobile app suits your needs.

3. Complete the Zipp Home Charging Assessment to connect with a licensed, certified electrician in your area. You'll answer a few questions about your home and provide pictures to receive an upfront price estimate for installation.
