Installing an electric vehicle (EV) level 2 charging station is not a do-it-yourself project. It is important to have a charging station installed by a specialized licensed contractor. This will help protect the integrity of your EV and your home’s wiring.
Here are some basic charging station safety tips:
- Read and follow the car manufacturer’s instructions.
- Use charging equipment that is sold or endorsed by the EV manufacturer.
- To prevent a home fire or other hazards, have the charger installed by a licensed contractor.
- An inadequate power supply can cause an electrical circuit overload and electrical fire.
- Keep charging components out of children’s reach.
