EV Charger Installation in Los Angeles: What Homeowners and Businesses Need to Know
Electric vehicles are rapidly becoming the norm across Los Angeles County. But charging on a standard 120V outlet adds just 4–5 miles of range per hour. A Level 2 EV charger delivers 20–30+ miles per hour — so your vehicle is fully charged every morning.
At B&M Electrical Services, we install hardwired Level 2 and NEMA 14-50 EV chargers for homes and businesses across the Antelope Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, San Fernando Valley, and greater Los Angeles.
Level 1 vs. Level 2: What's the Difference?
- Level 1 (120V): Standard wall outlet. Adds roughly 4–5 miles per hour. Fine for occasional drivers.
- Level 2 (240V): Hardwired or NEMA 14-50. Adds 20–30+ miles per hour. The right choice for daily drivers.
For most EV owners, Level 2 is the smarter investment — faster, more convenient, and it adds resale value to your property.
Do You Need a Panel Upgrade First?
A Level 2 charger requires a dedicated 240V circuit. Depending on your panel's current capacity, you may need a panel upgrade before installation. Every B&M installation includes a load calculation — no surprises.
