Understanding EVSE: Some Basics

EVSE, or Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment, is the technical term for what we commonly call an electrical vehicle charger installation. These are the systems that safely deliver electrical power from the grid to your vehicle’s battery. There are three main types of EV chargers, each suited for different needs and lifestyles:

• Level 1 chargers use a standard 120-volt outlet, like the ones you have around your house. You get about 3-5 miles of range per hour of charging, so it’s primarily overnight charging or for drivers with low daily mileage.
• Level 2 chargers use a dedicated 240-volt outlet, similar to what’s used for large appliances like dryers. This circuit will likely have to be inspected and/or installed by a certified electrician. These chargers offer 10-20 miles of range per hour of charging.
• DC fast chargers are the big guns of the EV charging world, using direct current (DC) instead of alternating current (AC). They are super-fast, providing 60-80 miles of range in just 20 minutes!

Of course, there are other intricate nuances involved in an EV charging systems installation. The team at Mr. Electric are happy to sit down and go over the details. Call us or send us a message to arrange a consultation for as soon as possible.

Choosing the right charging system for your property

Who wouldn’t want a DC fast charger than can give you 200 miles of range in just an hour? Well, it turns out that a level 3 electric vehicle charger installation in Lancaster is typically restricted to commercial and industrial zones. This is because the electrical infrastructure in residential zones usually does not support high voltage exceeding 240 volts.

Other factors to consider when assessing and planning an electric vehicle charging station installation in Lancaster include your daily driving habits, installation costs, and future-proofing your property.
