Portable EV charging

Portable EV Chargers

Portable EV Chargers are the most popular segment of the market.  They are known as EVSE chargers, mobile chargers and portable chargers.

Portable EV chargers first hit the market about a decade ago.  They were provided as manufacturers supplied EV chargers with the first plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.  With commercial charging infrastructure not so developed at the time, it was an easy way to provide a charging solution so that wherever the electric vehicle went, the owner had a charging solution in the trunk ready to go. 

Portable EV chargers also helped grow electric vehicle car adoption- they can be quick in terms of charging speed, are flexible as they can be used to charge from anywhere that there is a power source and are light and compact.   People like the plug and play format, small footprint and peace of mind that they have a charging solution anywhere.

Below are the key considerations when deciding on your next portable EV charger.  A portable charger is a consideration if any of the following apply to your situation:-

  • You want the peace of mind of having a charger always available in the car
  • You travel long distances and electric range may be an issue
  • You live in a rental property so fitting a fixed charging station may not be an option
  • Your garage is small as portable chargers have a smaller footprint compared to wall stations
  • You seek value in charging.  Portable chargers can be 50% less than wall chargers
  • You prefer simplicity 

 

A few other things to know about portable EV chargers

  • Portable EV chargers can be supplied in formats as fast as wall chargers such as NEMA 14-50 level 2 40 amp 9.6 kWh chargers
  • Portable EV chargers are provided in level 1 charging (slower charge) and level 2 charging (faster charging speeds).
  • Portable level 2 EV chargers can provide charging speeds of 20-60 miles of range per hour
  • Portable level 1 and sometime portable level 2 EV chargers can be a direct replacement for car manufacturer supplied EV chargers
  • Portable EV chargers are supplied with a range of different NEMA 3 pin and 4 pin plug types (NEMA 6-20, NEMA 6-30, NEMA 14-50, NEMA 6-50, NEMA 14-30)

Importance of Working with a Certified Electrician

When it comes to installing an EV charger, working with a certified electrician is crucial. Certified electricians ensure that your electric vehicle (EV) charging installations are done properly and safely, reducing the risk of electrical shock or fire hazards. They use industrial-grade parts for installations and stand by their work with a comprehensive warranty, providing peace of mind for homeowners.
 
A certified electrician will secure the necessary permits for the work and be present during inspections to ensure the correct completion, streamlining the permitting process. This not only ensures that the installation process is complete and meets all safety and electrical codes but also provides a safe and reliable charging experience.
 
Moreover, working with a certified electrician can make you eligible for rebates and incentives, such as the $500 refund from Edison for having a home charger installed. Tesla also recommends working with certified electricians, like EV1 Installations, for home charger installations, ensuring a high-quality and safe installation process.
 
Certified electricians have the expertise to design and install charging solutions that meet the specific needs of homeowners, including the installation of charging stations and different charging levels.
