Emergency Electrical Services for EV Charging Stations in Port St. Lucie
Expert Assistance for Homeowners Installing EV Charging Stations
Electrical vehicles (EV) are more popular now than ever. With over 95% of electric car charging being performed at home in the United States, the need for EV charge installation has dramatically increased. As an EV charger relies on a large quantity of power to function, it is best to speak with an electrician to get one installed. There is the possibility that your electrical system may need to be updated to support this installation and a qualified electrician can get you set up and ready to charge.
Understanding EV Charging Stations: What You Need to Know
An EV has a battery that allows it to operate. This battery is dependent on electricity to function properly. If there is no electricity in the EV’s battery pack, the car cannot move. Therefore, you need to replenish that electricity by charging the car’s battery. An EV charging station converts the electrical current from your house into a current flow the EV battery can accept and use.
Professional Installation of Your EV Charger
Do not attempt to install an EV charger by yourself as it requires the skill, knowledge, and tools of an experienced electrician. An electrician will also be able to determine if you will need to upgrade the electrical service in your residence before installing the EV charger.
After finishing their calculations to see if your residence can support an EV charger, an electrician will then determine if your home has a 100amp service, 200amp service, or something higher or lower than that amount. If your home has a 100amp service, it is unlikely that an EV charger will work. In the event this happens, your home will require an electrical service upgrade to accommodate the addition of a charging station.
What Is an EVSE Charger and How Does It Work?
EVSE chargers supply electric energy to recharge electric vehicles. There are three levels, which are:
Level 1 Charger: Basic Charging for Overnight Use
While the Level 1 charger requires no installation, it charges vehicle batteries very slowly. Level 1 EVSE chargers are best suited for overnight use and can take 20 hours or more to fully charge your vehicle’s battery.
Level 2 Charger: Faster Charging for Home Use
This more advanced EVSE charger requires its own dedicated 240-volt circuit, which needs to be professionally installed in your garage. Level 2 chargers work much faster, fully charging an EV in about three hours.
Level 3 Charger: High-Speed Charging at Public Stations
This is the standalone device you see at public charging stations at the grocery store or office parking lot. It can add 160 miles of driving range to an EV’s batteries in about half an hour. However, due to its industrial-level power draw they are unavailable to homeowners. If you own or work at an industrial building, it is possible to get a Level 3 charger installed there.
We can help you determine which type of EVSE charger is right for you.

“Excel Electric sent Lance Wiedenheft, one of Excel's skilled electricians, to our house to install a transfer switch for an emergency power generator. I rate Lance "excellent" as he handled the installation in a timely manner, providing an explanation of the protocol he followed. He carefully explained the proper procedure to use the generator in the event of a power outage. I recommend Excel for electrical work and would not hesitate to call in the future.”Patrick W.

“Amazing company, great customer service and the service technicians were very knowledgeable and prepared when they came out to my home for the job I needed to be done and had made the appointment for. I would definitely call to use them again, I will refer anyone and everyone to Excel Electric for all of their electric needs. Very professional. They made me feel very important and not stupid for not understanding something so simple as to what was wrong and explained it to me until I did understand it. The technician had a lot of patience with me and I appreciated that more than he will ever understand. Definite 5 stars.”Tina F.

“John from Excel Electric just left after a somewhat challenging installation of a light over our kitchen island. He handled all the little "breakdowns" like the consummate professional he is. This was his second visit here as he had previously installed some exterior fans (also a bit of a challenge - nothing is easy in this household) for us. We were impressed with his knowledge, speed, and professionalism and courtesy. The cost was appropriate for the work done. Excel has earned their place as our "go-to" electricians.”Edward P.
