More Rochester homeowners are making the switch to electric vehicles every year. And the first question they all ask: "Can I charge at home?" The answer is yes — and it's easier than you think.
Level 1 vs. Level 2: What's the Difference?
Level 1 (Standard Outlet)
- Uses your regular 120V wall outlet
- Adds 4-5 miles of range per hour
- Full charge takes 40-50+ hours
- No installation needed
Level 2 (Dedicated Circuit)
- Uses a dedicated 240V circuit
- Adds 25-30 miles of range per hour
- Full charge overnight (8-10 hours)
- Professional installation required
For most Rochester homeowners, Level 2 is the way to go. You plug in when you get home, and you wake up to a full charge every morning. No more trips to public charging stations.
Does Your Panel Need an Upgrade?
A Level 2 EV charger typically requires a 40-50 amp dedicated circuit. If your home has a 100-amp panel that's already near capacity, you may need a panel upgrade to 200 amps before the charger can be installed. We assess your panel capacity during the free site visit — no guesswork. Read our 100 amp vs. 200 amp comparison for more details.
