Choose your city
In New York, particularly in the Albany area, the pronounced seasonal variations, from freezing winter temperatures to humid summer conditions, demand robust EVSE installations capable of withstanding environmental extremes. We utilize UV-resistant, outdoor-rated conduits, such as rigid PVC or flexible metallic conduit (FMC) where appropriate, and NEMA 3R or 4X enclosures to protect the charging equipment from snow, ice, moisture, and significant temperature fluctuations. Our installations strictly adhere to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code (USYFBC), ensuring compliance with local Albany permitting processes, which often require detailed electrical schematics and inspections of the dedicated branch circuit wiring and overcurrent protection devices.

We provide a detailed assessment during your free phone quote to outline these variables.
Is a level 2 charger worth the cost?
For most EV owners, a Level 2 charger offers a significant upgrade in charging speed compared to standard Level 1 charging, substantially reducing replenishment times. This convenience, coupled with the potential for smart charging features that can optimize energy usage and align with off-peak electricity rates, generally makes the investment worthwhile.
What is the lifespan of a level 2 charger?
A properly installed and maintained Level 2 EV charger typically has a robust lifespan, often exceeding ten years. Factors influencing longevity include the quality of the EVSE unit, the protective measures taken during installation against environmental stressors prevalent in New York, and adherence to manufacturer guidelines.
