How do I choose the right EV charger for my home?

For most homeowners, a Level 2 charger (240V, 32-48 amps) is the best choice. It charges most EVs overnight. Tesla owners should consider the Tesla Wall Connector.

Do I need a permit to install an EV charger?

Yes. Most California cities require an electrical permit for EV charger installation. Your installer handles the permit process.
