EV charger installation is becoming increasingly common as more Johnson County homeowners make the switch to electric vehicles. While DIY kits are available at many retailers, taking this project on yourself can pose serious risks and may end up costing you more in the long run. At Fusion Electric, we strongly recommend hiring a licensed electrician to handle your EV charger installation. Our professional services can help you avoid costly mistakes and ensure your installation is done right the first time, potentially saving you money in the long term.
Safety First
EV chargers deliver a high-voltage charge, often requiring 240 volts. Improper installation can result in electric shock, fire, or damage to your home’s electrical system. A licensed electrician knows how to safely work with high-voltage systems and can ensure all connections are secure and hazard-free.
Proper Amperage & Panel Evaluation
One size doesn’t fit all when it comes to EV charger installation. A professional will evaluate your home’s electrical panel capacity and recommend the right amperage for your charger and vehicle. Homes in areas like Leawood and Prairie Village often have older electrical panels that may need upgrades to support a Level 2 EV charger. Fusion Electric’s team will determine if a dedicated circuit is required and make the proper adjustments to avoid tripping breakers or overloading circuits.
Code Compliance & Permitting
Local electrical codes in Johnson County require specific permits and code compliance for EV charger installations. Licensed electricians understand these codes and ensure that your installation is done correctly the first time. They’ll also handle any necessary inspections to ensure everything meets local requirements.
