City Requirements for EV Charging Station Installation
Typically, homeowners will be required to ensure their home is capable of handling the electrical load of an EV charger. Additionally, they will need to outline where the charging station will be placed, including how many spaces will be needed for the charger.
The specs of the particular charger to be used, including the model and voltage, must be documented as well. All maintenance and repairs must coincide with the requirements of the original manufacturer. Inspections may be held in order to ensure all equipment is operating properly and meets all of the necessary codes.

Levels of Electric Vehicle Charging
Level 1 chargers utilize standard outlets, so no additional wiring is necessary. However, level 2 chargers may require an electrical panel upgrade if you live in an older home.
The charging levels for electric vehicles include:
- Level 1 charger: 120-volt (standard home outlet)
- Level 2 charger: 240-volt (voltage used by a dryer)
- Level 3 charger: High-speed, direct current charging
We install all levels of charging stations in your home. If you’re not sure which level is right for you, give us a call at (330) 753-7711 to discuss the different options or schedule an installation service visit.

EV Charging Station FAQs
How much space do you need for a home charging station?
Cables should be at least 18 feet, so it’s crucial to ensure you’ve got enough room to accommodate them. Fortunately, many charging stations are designed for both indoor and outdoor usage, although it should be verified beforehand as some are only meant for indoor purposes.
Will the charging station work with any vehicle brand?
All electric cars in the U.S. utilize the same standard charging plug or will come with an adapter for level 1 and level 2 charging stations.
