Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

Homes aren’t the only structures running on electricity these days. Cars and trucks are increasingly using electricity to drive their horsepower, and the demand for at-home electric vehicle (EV) charging stations is increasing too.

Big Frog Electric has over 25 years of experience and has installed hundreds of EV charging stations in residential homes. Our Electric Solutions Professionals stay up to date on all of the most current codes, trends, and products to best serve you, including the latest code mandating that these circuits are protected with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).

This has always been a good idea because it adds an extra layer of protection for you and your electric vehicle when you’re charging.

Selecting an Electric Vehicle Charging Station for Your Home

Electric vehicles have a built-in charger. However, depending on the manufacturer of it, it can take up to 24 hours to fully charge the vehicle.

When it comes to charging stations, there is a pretty wide variety to choose from.

Ask yourself these three questions to better help you select the right electric vehicle charging station for your home.

1. What kind of car is it for?
2. How quickly do you want to charge the car?
3. Which Type of Commuter are You?

• • Daily commuters typically require a smaller charger that utilizes 30 amp circuit and takes about 8-16 hours to fully charge
  • Daily commuters who also use this vehicle as their primary transportation around town typically require a quick charger that utilizes 50 amp circuit and takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge
