How do I get EV Charger Installation in Fort Lauderdale?
Level 2 home charging uses a 240-volt circuit, and a qualified electrician can add the circuit and check that your panel has the capacity. Call 844-510-1963 and we connect you with an independent, Florida-licensed contractor who serves your city.
What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 home charging?
The U.S. Department of Energy says many EV owners can meet daily driving needs by charging overnight with Level 1 equipment, which uses a standard 120-volt outlet and the cord that comes with the vehicle, with no additional installation. Level 2 charging is faster and suits drivers with longer commutes, less regular schedules or large batteries.
Level 2 charging runs on 240 volts. That usually means adding a circuit, which is where an electrician comes in.
What does the electrician actually do?
According to the same source, a qualified electrician can add circuits to accommodate the capacity needed for Level 2 charging and can tell you whether your home has adequate electrical capacity. The work must comply with local and state codes.
If your panel is full or too small, the contractor may recommend a panel upgrade first. See our panel upgrade page for permits and what to ask.
Does a home EV charger need a permit?
Some Broward cities list EV chargers by name. Miramar's quick-service permit list includes an EV charger permit. Other cities handle it under a general electrical permit, so ask the contractor which building department covers your address and who pulls the permit.
Which charger should I buy?
The contractor can install the charger you choose or advise on one that fits your vehicle and your panel. This site does not have manufacturer partnerships, so the advice you get comes from the independent contractor, not from a brand.
