Driving an electric vehicle (EV) is great, but waiting 12+ hours for it to charge on a standard outlet isn’t. To get the most out of your EV, you need a dedicated Level 2 home charging station.
Veteran Electric is Kansas City’s expert in EV charger installation. We install dedicated circuits and charging stations for all makes and models, including Tesla, Ford, Chevy, Rivian, and more. We make switching to electric convenient and safe.
Level 1 vs. Level 2 Charging
Level 1 (Standard Outlet): Uses a standard 120-volt household outlet. It’s extremely slow, adding only 3-5 miles of range per hour. It can take days to fully charge a large battery.
Level 2 (Dedicated Circuit): Uses a 240-volt circuit (like a dryer or stove). It charges 5-7 times faster, adding 20-60 miles of range per hour. This allows you to plug in when you get home and wake up to a full battery every morning.
Our Installation Services
We don’t just run a wire; we design a charging solution that fits your home and lifestyle:
- Hardwired Chargers: We install wall-mounted units (like the Tesla Wall Connector) directly for maximum charging speed and reliability.
- NEMA 14-50 Outlets: We install heavy-duty 240V outlets for plug-in mobile chargers.
- Panel Upgrades & Load Management: If your home doesn’t have enough spare electrical capacity, we can upgrade your panel or install smart load management systems that allow you to charge without overloading your service.
- Outdoor Installations: No garage? No problem. We install weather-rated outdoor chargers.
Why Hire a Pro?
EV charging puts a continuous high load on your electrical system. Improper wiring or using cheap outlets can lead to overheating and melting. We use industrial-grade materials and follow strict code requirements to ensure your car charges safely every night.
