EV Charger Installation Reviews

I’ve used Kuhlman electrical for several projects now (car charger installation, shed lighting, checking & replacing parts destroyed during a power surge) and every time they have been professional, on time, provided thorough in analysis, and have been fair priced. They were also very detail oriented in their installation of my car charger to cause minimal disruption to walls and made sure it looked clean! It was also a breeze to pay- all electronic. Lastly, our recent electrician, Anthony Priego went above and beyond in checking my electrical circuit board and failed parts after a recent power surge, which we greatly appreciated.

Alex and Gary did a great job installing the Tesla charger!

I had Cody and Thurston come to install an EV charger and I could not be more pleased with the experience. They were kind enough to pick up the job from someone who had abandoned the project halfway through. Cody and Thurston talked me through all the different steps for finishing the project, kept me informed constantly during installation, and actually wound up finishing the work hours ahead of schedule! I feel like I got what I paid for – the work was done right; it was done quickly; it was done professionally, by the book, approved by the city. I wish I had started with Kuhlman Electrical Services in the first place. Next time, I will.

KES just installed an EV charger for us. I was very impressed with the process, communication, and efficiency of the install. Chris the project manager was great to deal with, and the Ayann and Nick were a pleasure to work with. Even during the install, the crew made decisions to improve the final outcome. We have a 100 amp service, and opted for a load management system. KES was the only outfit that recommended it. Even the building inspector was impressed with the install. I highly recommend KES, and would gladly hire them for any future work.

This was my first time using Kuhlman, and I was very impressed! Their quote for the EV charger installation was reasonable, and they were professional and responsive from booking the appointment to following up post-inspection. Very good experience overall.

William Brendel

Needed a Tesla wallcharger and several outlets outside and they did a really great job. They were very responsive and professional. I’m very impressed with their customer service and the work they did.

Peterson Paret

Gary and his team installed my EV charger and did a fantastic job. They were communicative (sent reminders, kept me updated on ETA), showed up exactly on time, and were polite and informative. My only complaint was that they couldn’t conduct the job sooner, but it was worth the wait. Very impressive by this team. Online invoices were sent immediately and payment was a breeze. Customer service is top notch.

Steven DiCairano

Had the team install a 14-50 plug for a level 2 EV charger, which included running a new line from basement out to detached garage so I’d have a new 60A panel in there. Used that same run to then run a line back from an outlet in the garage to the home panel so I could power my home panel off my mobile generator using a transfer switch. Also ran a new line with an outlet into my fireplace so I can get a wood blower insert installed later. Guys were on time, worked quick but not rushed and cleaned up after they were done. Will use again for future work

Adam Benson

We had a Tesla wall connector, as well as another 220v 20A outlet, installed in our garage. I was extremely impressed with Kuhlman. Their communication was top notch and were flexible when it came to scheduling appointments that fit our needs. Jesse came to our place for a free estimate (which was awesome), and their quote was very reasonable. My unit only has 100A service, but Jesse had a great suggestion which was to install an energy management system that would allow me to install a higher, 40A circuit in my panel for the charger while still meeting code. It was easy to tell that the team cared about their work and did an extremely professional job. I’m super happy with the setup and so glad that I can now charge my car quickly at home! Would easily recommend Kuhlman to anyone, and in fact I’ll probably have them back for more electrical work in the future.

Types of EV Chargers Available: What Do I Need?

Choosing the right EV charger is essential for meeting your vehicle’s specific needs and optimizing your charging experience. Kuhlman Electric specializes in installing a variety of EV chargers, including the Combined Charging System (CCS), CHAdeMO, and Tesla Superchargers.

Each type offers different benefits and is compatible with various electric cars, ensuring you can find the perfect match for your car’s requirements and your personal charging habits.

CCS (SAE Combo)

The Combined Charging System (CCS), also known as SAE Combo, is a widely adopted standard that supports both AC and DC charging, providing versatility and speed in one package. This system is designed to accommodate a broad spectrum of electric vehicles, making it a popular choice for many EV owners.

When you opt for a CCS charger, you’re investing in a future-proof charging solution, as it’s becoming the norm for new electric vehicles. This compatibility across various brands makes CCS an excellent choice for EV owners looking for fast, flexible charging solutions.

CHAdeMO

CHAdeMO chargers are renowned for their rapid DC charging capability, primarily favored by Japanese electric vehicles yet also compatible with many others. This standard is engineered for drivers who value speed, allowing for quick battery charging and extended range without long waiting times.

Kuhlman Electric’s expertise in CHAdeMO installations guarantees that your vehicle’s charging is both efficient and safe, ensuring you get back on the road as swiftly as possible. Our skilled electricians provide seamless integration of the charger with your EV, ensuring that you can enjoy the full benefits of fast charging technology.

These chargers are ideal for Tesla drivers seeking the quickest possible recharge, providing peace of mind that you’re always just a quick stop away from a full battery.

Difference Between Level 1 and Level 2 Chargers

Level 1 chargers are often included with your vehicle and designed for simplicity and ease of use. They connect to a standard household 120-volt AC outlet, mirroring the convenience of everyday electrical devices. However, their accessibility comes with a trade-off in speed, as they typically deliver 2 to 5 miles of range per hour of charging, making them suitable for overnight use or for EV owners with minimal daily mileage.

While they represent a zero-cost charging solution, their slower charging rate might not suffice for those with more demanding driving routines or for drivers looking to quickly replenish their vehicle’s battery. In contrast, Level 2 chargers are the step up that many EV owners transition to, seeking faster and more efficient charging.

These systems require a 240-volt power source, similar to what large household appliances use, and professional installation to ensure safety and compliance with electrical codes. The upgrade to a Level 2 charger significantly boosts charging speed, offering about 10 to 60 miles of range per hour of charging, which can typically replenish a full EV battery overnight.

Level 2 chargers combine convenience with the speed necessary to keep pace with the busy lifestyles of today’s electric car owners. They are ideal for daily commuters, families with multiple EVs, or businesses looking to provide charging solutions for employees.

How Much Does It Cost To Install an EV Charger in Worcester?

The cost of an EV charging station installation in Worcester varies widely, influenced by several pivotal factors. The installation costs can fluctuate based on the type of charger you select and the specific electrical requirements of your home, such as the need for an upgraded electrical panel of additional wiring.

Kuhlman Electric ensures transparency in pricing, providing detailed quotes that encompass all aspects of installation. This includes the cost of the charger itself, in addition to labor, necessary electrical upgrades, permits, and any other potential requirements specific to your property.

EV Charger Installation FAQs

How do I know which type of charger is right for my electric vehicle?

Selecting the appropriate EV charging station for your vehicle involves considering your car’s specifications, your charging speed needs, and your typical driving range. It’s essential to match the charger with your vehicle’s requirements and your lifestyle.

Our electricians can assist you in choosing the perfect EV charger, ensuring it aligns with your vehicle’s capabilities and your daily usage patterns.

Can I install an EV charger myself, or do I need a professional?

Installing an EV charger, especially a Level 2 unit, requires professional expertise to ensure safety, compliance with electrical standards, and optimal functionality. While Level 1 chargers are more straightforward, the complexity of installing higher-level chargers necessitates a professional installer like our electricians to guarantee that the setup meets all technical specifications and local codes.

How long does the installation process take?

The time required to install an EV charger varies, with factors like the level of the charger, the readiness of the installation site, and your home’s existing electrical system playing a role. Basic installations may only demand a few hours, but intricate setups involving electrical upgrades or extensive wiring could stretch into a full day or beyond for completion.

What are the electrical requirements for installing an EV charger at home?

A typical home installation of a Level 2 EV charger requires a 240-volt power source. Before installation, it’s crucial to assess your home’s electrical system to confirm it can handle the additional load. Our Worcester electricians will evaluate your system to determine if upgrades are needed and ensure that your charger is installed safely and correctly.
