Is it Time for a Level 2 Charger?

READY TO CHARGE AT HOME?

Not all of these signs mean you need an immediate installation, but they're worth reviewing. We offer free EV charging assessments to evaluate your electrical capacity, charging goals, and the safest, most cost-effective solution for your home or business.

Common Signs You Need a Dedicated EV Charger Installation:

  • Slow or Incomplete Charging If your vehicle takes all night—or longer—to charge and still isn't full, a standard outlet isn't keeping up. Level 1 charging is inefficient and often impractical for daily driving.
  • Tripped Breakers While Charging If breakers trip when your EV is plugged in, your electrical system isn't designed to handle the sustained load. This is a safety concern, not just an inconvenience.
  • Using a Regular Wall Outlet (Level 1) Standard outlets weren't designed for continuous high draw. Long-term use can overheat wiring and significantly reduce charging efficiency.
  • Recently Purchased an EV If you've bought (or ordered) an electric vehicle, installing a proper charger early prevents charging headaches and ensures your setup is safe and code-compliant.
  • Planning for a Second EV Many households add a second EV sooner than expected. Planning charger capacity now avoids costly rework later.
  • Shared or Extension-Cord Charging Using shared circuits or extension cords is unsafe and unreliable. A dedicated circuit and hardwired charger eliminate these risks.
  • Uncertainty About Electrical Capacity If you're unsure whether your panel can support EV charging, it's time for a professional assessment. Guessing can lead to overloaded circuits or failed inspections.

Installed LED lights in my garage. Also added some exterior plugs to the house. The lights were time-intensive and they finished it quickly and did the install PERFECTLY. These guys are the real deal, they are as good as it gets, and Justin treated me fairly even tho it was more work than he anticipated! I would recommend them any day

We had a great experience working with taurus electric. They were professional, reliable, and did excellent quality work in our home. They were considerate of our budget without compromising on the outcome, which we really appreciated. We have also worked with them on a professional contracting level, and because we trust them personally, we are confident they bring that same level of care, integrity, and value to our clients. I would absolutely trust their judgment for any future electrical work or jobs. :)

Great experience with this electrical team! They replaced our dining room light fixture, moved a few outlets, and completed a full home electrical inspection.

Justin and his team provided an outstanding experience from start to finish. They were punctual, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. The crew maintained a very clean work environment and treated the space with respect. What impressed me most was the level of service—they went above and beyond, completing many little extras without hesitation. Justin always answered my calls, followed through on commitments, and showed up exactly when he said he would. He even made time for a smaller job, which has not been my experience with others in the past. I am beyond pleased with the results and the entire process. I highly recommend Justin and his team to anyone seeking quality workmanship and reliable service.
