Ohio's climate, marked by significant temperature swings between hot summers and cold, snowy winters, requires careful material selection and installation methods for EV chargers. We employ outdoor-rated conduits, such as galvanized rigid metal conduit (GRMC) or heavy-duty PVC, and utilize weather-sealed enclosures to protect electrical components from moisture, ice, and extreme temperatures, thereby ensuring the longevity of the installation. The housing stock in Ohio is varied, with many single-family homes featuring garages or carports suitable for charger placement. However, older residences may necessitate electrical panel upgrades to safely accommodate the dedicated 240-volt circuit for Level 2 charging. Our technicians are experienced in assessing these needs and performing compliant installations according to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local Ohio building regulations.
