Charge Your Electric Vehicle Safely & Efficiently at Home

As electric vehicles (EVs) become more popular, homeowners are looking for convenient, reliable, and fast charging solutions right in their garages or driveways. If you're tired of waiting hours for your EV to charge using a standard outlet, it's time to upgrade to a professionally installed EV outlet that delivers faster, safer, and more efficient charging.
At TL Davis Electric & Design, we provide expert EV outlet installation services in Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Owasso, Claremore, and surrounding areas. Whether you drive a Tesla, Ford, Rivian, Chevrolet, or any other electric vehicle, we’ll ensure you have the right charging setup to meet your needs.

Why Install a Dedicated EV Outlet?

Most homes come equipped with standard 120V outlets, but they are not designed to charge EVs efficiently. Upgrading to a dedicated EV outlet (such as a 240V NEMA 14-50 outlet or hardwired Level 2 charger) offers several benefits:
1. Faster Charging

• A standard 120V household outlet (Level 1 charging) can take 24+ hours to fully charge an EV.
• A 240V Level 2 outlet significantly reduces charging time, often fully charging your EV overnight.

2. Increased Convenience

• No more waiting at public charging stations or dealing with slow charging speeds.
• Charge your EV in the comfort of your home with consistent and reliable power.

3. Future-Proofing Your Home

• As EV technology advances, having a high-powered outlet ensures your home is ready for future EVs and charging advancements.

4. Cost Savings

• Home charging is cheaper than public charging stations, saving you hundreds of dollars annually.
• A dedicated EV outlet can increase home value by making your property EV-ready for future buyers.

What Type of EV Charging Outlet Do You Need?
​

Choosing the right EV outlet depends on your vehicle, home electrical system, and charging preferences. Here are the most common options:
1. NEMA 14-50 Outlet (Level 2 Charging)

• 240V outlet that provides faster charging speeds.
• Compatible with Tesla, Ford, Chevrolet, Nissan, and most other EV brands.
• Recommended for overnight home charging.

2. Hardwired Level 2 Charger

• A permanently installed wall-mounted charging station.
• Provides faster charging speeds than a plug-in outlet.
• Great for homeowners who want a seamless, long-term solution.

3. 120V Standard Outlet (Level 1 Charging)

• Uses a standard household outlet, but is very slow (can take over 24 hours for a full charge).
• Not ideal for daily EV drivers.
• Works as a backup but is not a practical long-term solution.

​Can My Electrical Panel Handle an EV Outlet?

Before installing an EV outlet, we need to evaluate your home’s electrical capacity. Many older homes have 100-amp panels, which may not be sufficient for a 240V EV charger. If needed, we can upgrade your electrical panel to safely support EV charging.
Signs you may need an electrical panel upgrade:

• Frequent breaker trips when using multiple appliances.
• Your panel is over 20 years old and has limited capacity.
• You plan to add more high-power devices, such as an EV charger, hot tub, or solar panels.

Level 2 charging is faster, more efficient, and much better for daily EV use. It can charge your vehicle overnight instead of taking over 24 hours.
