Car Charger Installations

Car charger installation allows you to safely and conveniently charge an electric vehicle at home or at a commercial property. As more drivers across Connecticut and the shoreline area switch to electric vehicles, having a properly installed charging solution makes daily charging easier and more reliable.

 

​​There are a few different ways car chargers can be installed, depending on how and where you plan to use them:

​

• Hardwired car chargers – A dedicated electrical connection which runs directly from your electrical panel to the charging unit. This option is ideal if the charger will stay in one location permanently.
   

• NEMA 14-50 outlet installations – A high-amp specialty outlet that allows you to plug in a portable car charger. This option offers flexibility if you travel or split time between homes, making it easy to take your charger with you.
   

• Commercial charging stations – Charging stations installed at commercial properties, such as plazas or shared parking areas, where multiple users can charge their vehicles.
   

The right option depends on how often you charge, where the charger will be used, and whether flexibility or permanence is more important to you.
