EV Charger Installation: Power Your Home for the Future

Why Home EV Charging Is Becoming Essential

As electric vehicles become more common across Southern California, homeowners are realizing that charging convenience starts at home. Public charging stations can be slow, crowded, or inconvenient — which is why Level 2 and Tesla Wall Connector installations have become one of the fastest-growing electrical upgrades for residential properties.

At Newport Coast Electric, we help homeowners make the switch with safe, code-compliant installations that are built to last.

What Is a Level 2 EV Charger?

A Level 2 EV charger operates on a 240-volt circuit, which dramatically reduces charging time compared to a standard household outlet.Here’s how it compares:

Charger Type	Power Supply	Typical Charge Time (Full EV)
Level 1 (120V outlet)	Standard plug	24–48 hours
Level 2 (240V circuit)	Dedicated installation	4–8 hours
Tesla Wall Connector	240V, custom setup	Up to 44 miles of range per hour

Installing a Level 2 or Tesla charger ensures you start every day with a full battery — no waiting, no detours.
