Why You Should Choose Newman Electric For Your Vancouver, WA EV Car Charger Installation Services

While some EV chargers might seem like simple plug-in devices, installing a dedicated charging station, especially a Level 2 unit, involves significant electrical work that should only be handled by qualified professionals. Choosing Newman Electric ensures:

Safety First: EV chargers draw a substantial amount of power. Incorrect installation can lead to overloaded circuits, electrical fires, damage to your EV’s battery, or even electric shock. Our electricians ensure every installation meets stringent safety standards.
Code Compliance: There are specific National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements and local regulations in Vancouver and surrounding Washington counties for EV charger installations. We guarantee your installation will be fully compliant, avoiding potential fines or issues with home inspections.
Future-Proofing: We can advise on solutions that not only meet your current needs but also consider potential future upgrades or a second EV in the household.

Optimal Charging Performance: A professionally installed charger ensures your EV charges efficiently and at its maximum rated speed, preventing slow charging times or damage caused by inadequate power supply.
Protecting Your Investment: Your EV and your home are significant investments. Professional installation protects both by ensuring the electrical system can safely handle the new load and that the charger is installed according to manufacturer specifications, often preserving your vehicle and charger warranties.

Our Comprehensive Vancouver, WA EV Charger Installation Services Include:

Newman Electric offers a full suite of EV charging solutions:

Level 1 & Level 2 EV Charger Installation

What It Is:
Level 1 Chargers typically use a standard 120-volt household outlet and are often included with your EV. While convenient, they offer the slowest charging speed (adding about 2-5 miles of range per hour).
Level 2 Chargers operate on a 240-volt circuit (similar to an electric dryer or oven) and provide significantly faster charging (adding about 10-60 miles of range per hour, depending on the charger and vehicle). This is the most common and recommended home charging solution.
Newman Electric’s Approach: For Level 1, we can ensure your existing outlet is in good condition and on a suitable circuit. For Level 2, our primary service, we install a dedicated 240-volt circuit from your electrical panel to your desired charging location (e.g., garage, driveway). This includes installing the correct breaker, appropriate wiring, and the necessary outlet or hardwired connection for your chosen charger. We serve homeowners throughout Vancouver, WA, and communities in Clark, Cowlitz, and Skamania Counties.

Tesla Wall Connector Installation

What It Is: Tesla’s proprietary Level 2 charging station designed specifically for Tesla vehicles, offering fast charging speeds and smart features like Wi-Fi connectivity and power-sharing.
Newman Electric’s Approach: Our electricians are experienced in installing Tesla Wall Connectors according to Tesla’s precise specifications. We ensure the correct circuit amperage is provided (up to 60 amps for maximum charging speed on compatible Tesla models), handle the hardwired installation, and can assist with network configuration if desired. We provide expert Tesla Wall Connector installations across Vancouver and the wider Southwest Washington region.

Universal EV Charger Installation (J1772)

What It Is: Level 2 chargers that use the universal J1772 connector, compatible with all non-Tesla EVs sold in North America (Tesla vehicles can also use these with an adapter). Brands include ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Wallbox, ClipperCreek, and many others.
Newman Electric’s Approach: We install all major brands of universal Level 2 EV chargers. Whether you’ve purchased your own charger or need guidance selecting one, we provide the complete electrical installation, including the dedicated 240-volt circuit, outlet or hardwiring, and secure mounting of the unit. Our services cover all of Clark County, including Vancouver, as well as Cowlitz and Skamania Counties.

Load Management Solutions

What It Is: For homes where the existing electrical panel capacity might be a concern when adding a high-power EV charger, load management systems (also known as Energy Management Systems or EVEMS) intelligently monitor your home’s total electrical demand. They can temporarily reduce power to the EV charger if the overall load nears the panel’s limit, preventing overloads without requiring an expensive panel upgrade in some cases.
Newman Electric’s Approach: We assess your home’s electrical panel and service capacity. If load management is a viable solution, we can install compatible chargers with built-in load management features or install separate load management devices. This smart solution allows Vancouver, WA, residents and those in surrounding areas to safely add an EV charger even if their panel has limited spare capacity.
