Choose your city
Michigan's climate, with its significant seasonal temperature variations and exposure to moisture, necessitates a robust approach to EV charger installations. We utilize heavy-duty, outdoor-rated conduits such as rigid metallic conduit (RMC) or reinforced PVC to protect the wiring from extreme cold, ice, and heat, along with corrosion-resistant fasteners and enclosures to mitigate the effects of seasonal humidity and snowmelt. The predominant housing stock in Michigan, often comprising single-family homes with garages or driveways, typically allows for direct conduit runs from the main electrical panel. However, older homes may present challenges requiring careful assessment of existing panel capacity and potential upgrades to accommodate the dedicated 240-volt circuit required for Level 2 charging, ensuring adherence to National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 625 and any local amendments.
Common questions
How much should it cost to get an EV charger installed?
The total cost for installing a universal charging station is influenced by several factors, including the charger's amperage, the distance from your electrical panel to the installation site, and whether your existing electrical panel requires an upgrade.
