What are the types of EV chargers?
The three most common types of EV chargers are:
Level 1 Charger: This is the slowest type of charger, providing a charging speed of approximately 4-5 miles of range per hour of charging. It requires a standard 120V AC outlet and can be easily installed at home.
Level 2 Charger: This charger provides a much faster charging speed than Level 1, providing approximately 10-60 miles of range per hour of charging. It requires a 240V AC outlet and is typically installed by a certified electrician.
DC Fast Charger: This type of charger provides the fastest charging speed and is commonly used in public charging stations. It provides up to 90 miles of range in 30 minutes of charging and requires a 480V DC power supply. The installation of a DC Fast Charger is typically more expensive than Level 1 and Level 2 chargers.

What are the requirements for EV charger installation?
EV charger installation requirements vary depending on the type of charger being installed, the location, and the building codes in your area. However, there are some general requirements that should be considered.
The three most important requirements to consider are:
Electrical Capacity: Your electrical system must have enough capacity to accommodate the charging station, which can require 30-50 amps of power.
Location: The location of the charger is also essential, and it must be placed in a safe, dry location that is easily accessible. The location must also be suitable for the charger's electrical needs, including proximity to an electrical source and appropriate wiring.
Building Codes: Local building codes may dictate specific requirements for the installation of charging stations. It is essential to work with a certified electrician who is knowledgeable in these codes to ensure that the installation is compliant.

After a months-long saga with a group buy that never materialized for me due to shifting timelines, Castro took care of replacing my electrical panel in less than two weeks. They were very communicative, accommodating, and professional. From the time I requested a price quote to the time Castro's staff returned my key to the front desk after patching and painting the wall, the service was top notch. Yes, the cost was more expensive than it would have been had the group buy panned out, but given the headaches that arose as a result of the group buy process, I am so grateful to Castro for picking up and running with my job in such a quick and professional manner. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Castro for any of your electrical needs. They definitely are on my speed dial for any electrical work that I might need done in the future.
SoulJean arrived on time and in addition to the estimate, was able to perform the repair on that same day time span. I'm so very grateful for all the help installing the undercabinet lighting in my mother's kitchen. Want a good company to go to for repairs and all things electric? Go here. 10 stars if I could. Thank you Jean and Castro Electrical Services.
Branden WahlLuigi and William we're awesome. I had lost power in a large portion of my home without tripping a breaker, and was completely stumped what could be causing it. They were able to get out to me quickly, sent me a text letting me know they were on their way, they never took off their shoe covers even though I told them they didn't need to wear them (most of my flooring is just a plywood subfloor right now because I'm installing new flooring and the carpet that's left is being torn up too) they hunted down a loose wire in a random switch that was causing all of the issues without having to open walls or any other type of demo. They were super friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and the best part, it was WAY less expensive than what I was prepared for it to cost. I will definitely use them again for any future electrical work/repairs.
