Charging Infrastructure That Matches Your Vehicle

EV charging system installation for homes and businesses in Peoria, Arizona

Plugging an electric vehicle into a standard outlet in Peoria means waiting all night for a partial charge, and older electrical panels often lack the capacity to support a dedicated charging circuit without upgrades. FCO Electric installs EV charging systems that deliver reliable power to your vehicle while ensuring your panel and wiring can handle the load safely.

The work begins with a panel capacity check and circuit planning, followed by installation of a dedicated line and the charging unit itself. The electrician mounts the charger in your garage or parking area, connects it to a new circuit, and tests the system to confirm it delivers the correct voltage and amperage. You gain faster charging times and the ability to start each day with a full battery.

How the installation process works from start to finish

An electrician visits your Peoria property to evaluate your panel, measure the distance from the panel to the charging location, and confirm that your electrical system can support the additional load. If the panel lacks capacity, the electrician discusses upgrade options before moving forward with the charger installation.

Once the charger is installed and tested, you plug in your vehicle and see the charging indicator light activate immediately. Charging times drop from overnight to a few hours, and your vehicle reaches full charge without overloading circuits or tripping breakers.

The electrician runs conduit along walls or through the attic to protect wiring, installs a dedicated breaker, and mounts the charging unit at a height that keeps the cable off the ground. The installation includes a final inspection to confirm code compliance. The work does not cover charging units purchased separately unless the electrician verifies compatibility with your electrical system and the unit meets safety standards.

People ask practical questions before committing to installation

Homeowners and business owners in Peoria want to know about panel capacity, charging speed, and what the installation actually involves.

What do I need to install an EV charger in my home?
You need a 240-volt circuit with sufficient amperage, typically 40 to 50 amps depending on your charger model, and a panel with available breaker slots. FCO Electric checks your panel capacity during the initial visit and recommends upgrades if necessary.
How long does it take to install an EV charger?
Installation usually takes four to six hours for a straightforward setup. If your panel requires an upgrade or the charger is far from the panel, the work may extend to a full day.
Why does my panel need an upgrade for an EV charger?
Older panels in Peoria homes often max out at 100 or 150 amps, which leaves little room for an additional high-amperage circuit. Upgrading the panel increases capacity so the charger operates safely alongside other appliances.
What is the difference between a Level 1 and Level 2 charger?
Level 1 chargers plug into standard 120-volt outlets and deliver about four miles of range per hour. Level 2 chargers require a 240-volt circuit and deliver 20 to 30 miles of range per hour, making them the standard choice for home installations.
What happens if I install a charger and later sell my home?
The charger stays with the property and often adds value for buyers who own or plan to own an electric vehicle. The installation is permanent and becomes part of the home's electrical system.
