Electric Car Charger Installation in Tucson, AZ

Benefits of Professionally Installed Electric Car Chargers

Installing a Level 2 electric car charger at your Tucson home is an investment that greatly enhances the convenience and long-term value of EV ownership. While DIY kits exist, having the unit professionally installed by a licensed electrician is crucial, particularly due to the heavy electrical load and the age of many Tucson homes. This expert approach ensures your family’s safety, maximizes charging efficiency, and guarantees full compliance with all local Pima County and City of Tucson regulations.

• Guaranteed Electrical Safety and Code Compliance Professional installation ensures the charger is wired correctly to a dedicated 240-volt circuit, meeting all National Electrical Code (NEC) standards and local Tucson regulations. A licensed electrician will perform a load calculation to verify your panel can safely handle the sustained power draw, preventing overheating, trippedbreakers, and fire hazards.
• Maximized Charging Speed and Efficiency Experts will help you select and install the optimal Level 2 charger that matches your specific vehicle’s maximum charging capacity, unlike a slow Level 1 charger. This results in the fastest possible charge times, typically restoring your full range in just four to eight hours overnight, maximizing the time you spend driving.
• Seamless Panel Upgrades and Permitting Many older Tucson homes require an electrical panel upgrade or a sub-panel addition to support a Level 2 charger without overloading the system. A professional handles all necessary structural electrical work, secures the required permits from the local building department, and coordinates withTucson Electric Power (TEP) for utility service.
• Access to Available Rebates and Incentives Your certified installer can guide you through securing local rebates, such as those sometimes offered by TEP, and advise you on current federal tax credits for the installation. This expert assistance ensures you take full advantage of all available financial incentives, significantly reducing your out-of-pocket project cost.
• Increased Property Value and Peace of Mind A professionally installed, permitted EV charging station is an attractive amenity for potential home buyers in the growing Tucson electric vehicle market, increasing your property's resale value. You gain peace of mind knowing the high-voltage system is correctly installed, warranted, and safe for daily use, even during high-demand summer months.

Choosing a professional installation is the safest, most efficient path to reliable Level 2 home charging, transforming your garage into a convenient, modern fueling station.

Using the Sun to Power Your Vehicle

According to statistics from the U.S. Department of Transportation, the average vehicle uses nearly 550 gallons of gas per year, which contributes more than four metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. As more people are making the switch to electric vehicles to do their part to protect the environment, there has been an increased demand for electricity.

Electricity is not free and paying the utility company to power your vehicle can be expensive and increase your carbon footprint, which won’t serve your overall goal of reducing emissions. There is a better alternative to traditional electricity to power your vehicle: solar EV chargers. Solar EV chargers use renewable energy to power electric vehicles.

Generating Enough Energy for Your Vehicle

Electric cars are now manufactured by most companies, from Chevrolet to Tesla, to meet the growing demand for electric vehicles. Solar power can be used to power your vehicle, just like it can be used to generate power for your home. Improvements in technology and lower costs for installing solar power have made it possible and practical to power your entire home with solar power, including your electric vehicle.

To determine the right size for your system, we help you consider:

• How much electricity will your car need
• The mileage rating of your vehicle
• How much do you drive
• The number of kilowatt-hours of electricity needed to charge your vehicle

We use this information to design a solar power system that will meet the power needs of your home, car, or both. Based on our assessment of your needs, we can recommend the right number of solar modules needed to run solar EV chargers in Southern Arizona. In addition to custom system design, we offer expert installation of the highest quality products.
