Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my electrical panel can handle an EV charger?

The Electric Connection can assess your electrical panel to determine if it can support the load of an EV charger. A professional evaluation is recommended to ensure safe and proper installation.

What type of EV chargers does The Electric Connection install?

The Electric Connection installs various EV chargers, including Tesla Wall Connectors and NEMA receptacles, catering to different charging needs and vehicle types.

What is the installation process for a Tesla Wall Connector with The Electric Connection?

The Electric Connection's installation process involves an initial estimate, a site visit to determine the exact price, and then the installation itself. The Electric Connection aims to match the original estimate, and if unforeseen issues arise, there is no charge for the estimate.

Does The Electric Connection offer a warranty on their EV charger installations?

While the provided text doesn't explicitly state a warranty, it does mention that The Electric Connection cannot consider it a recall covered under their warranty if GFCI breakers trip when installing NEMA receptacles due to code requirements. It's recommended to confirm warranty details directly with The Electric Connection.

What are the benefits of installing a hardwired charger versus a NEMA outlet, according to The Electric Connection?

The Electric Connection recommends hardwired chargers over NEMA outlets because building and safety inspectors are enforcing a new code that requires GFCI protection for NEMA installations. This GFCI protection can cause the vehicle to charge less efficiently and the circuit breaker to trip often. Installing a hardwired charger circumvents these issues.
