Level 2 Home Charging
Residential Level 2 charging uses a 240-volt supply and generally charges faster than a standard 120-volt connection. Actual charging speed depends on your vehicle, charging equipment, and the installed circuit.
As the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) continues to grow, so does the need for convenient and reliable charging solutions. In Metairie, residents are increasingly investing in electric vehicles to reduce their carbon footprint and enjoy the benefits of lower operating costs. Having a dedicated EV charging station at home is essential for making the most out of your electric vehicle.

CHARGING THAT FITS YOUR ROUTINE
Home charging should work with the way you drive and park. We help you choose an installation approach that balances your charging needs with the electrical capacity available at your property.
Residential Level 2 charging uses a 240-volt supply and generally charges faster than a standard 120-volt connection. Actual charging speed depends on your vehicle, charging equipment, and the installed circuit.
We review the circuit and connection required for your charger. Depending on the equipment and installation, that may involve a hardwired connection or a suitable receptacle installed for the charging load.
Mounting location, cable reach, and the route from your electrical panel all matter. We plan for convenient access in your garage, carport, or driveway while keeping the finished installation organized.
REVIEW THE DETAILS BEFORE YOU BUY
A charger’s advertised output is only one part of the decision. We look at the complete setup so you understand what the installation will support.
We assess existing electrical demand and the proposed charging load. A panel upgrade is not automatically required; the right approach depends on the system and equipment. If changes are needed, we explain the options before work begins.
The vehicle’s charging capabilities, connector, and charger specifications help determine the setup. Share your vehicle and charger details so we can review the electrical requirements and any compatibility questions.
Distance from the panel, access through the property, and indoor or outdoor placement affect the scope. We discuss the wiring route, equipment location, and any work needed to complete the installation.
Your usual mileage and time parked at home help put charging capacity into perspective. We discuss the intended use and any supported load-management options relevant to your equipment and electrical system.
A CLEAR PROCESS
Tell us about your vehicle, parking location, and whether you already own a charger. We evaluate the electrical system and gather the details needed to plan the installation.
We outline the proposed circuit, connection, and installation work. Any required permitting, access arrangements, or planned power interruption is discussed before work begins.
After approval, we complete the agreed electrical work, mount the equipment as specified, and pay attention to wiring, labeling, and the surrounding property.
We test the installation, review the charging settings relevant to the electrical setup, and explain the equipment’s operation. Where the vehicle is available, we can verify charging with it connected.

When selecting an EV charging station, you’ll typically encounter two types: Level 1 and Level 2. Level 1 chargers use a standard 120-volt outlet and are suitable for overnight charging, but they take longer to fully charge your vehicle. Level 2 chargers, on the other hand, use a 240-volt outlet and offer faster charging times, making them ideal for daily use.
