A homeowner in 19 Verona St, Brooklyn, NY contacted Daven Electric Corp. after purchasing an electric vehicle (EV) and realizing their home’s electrical system wasn’t equipped to handle an EV charger. They needed a dedicated 240V circuit and a level 2 EV charger installed in their garage.
After inspecting their existing electrical panel, we found that it was only 100 amps, which was insufficient to support the new EV charger along with their household appliances. To ensure reliable power and prevent overloading, we recommended:
✔ Upgrading to a 200-amp electrical panel for better capacity
✔ Installing a dedicated 240V circuit for the EV charger
✔ Ensuring compliance with NYC electrical codes
🔹 Insufficient Electrical Panel Capacity – The existing 100-amp panel was near its maximum load and could not support the additional power demand of an EV charger.
🔹 No Dedicated Circuit for EV Charging – The home lacked a 240V outlet, which is required for level 2 EV chargers to function properly.
🔹 Wiring & Panel Safety Concerns – Since EV chargers draw significant power, proper breaker protection and load balancing were necessary to prevent electrical hazards.
🔹 Outdoor Installation Requirements – The homeowner wanted the charger accessible outside the garage, requiring weatherproofing and conduit protection.
As an experienced Brooklyn electrician, we customized an installation plan to meet the homeowner’s needs while ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance with local electrical codes.
✅ 200-Amp Electrical Panel Upgrade – We replaced the existing 100-amp panel with a modern 200-amp panel, allowing the home to safely support an EV charger and future electrical upgrades.
✅ Installation of a 240V Dedicated Circuit – We ran a dedicated circuit from the panel to the EV charging station, ensuring a steady power supply without overloading other home circuits.
✅ EV Charger Installation (Level 2 Charger) – We installed a Level 2 EV charger (compatible with Tesla, Chevy Bolt, Nissan Leaf, and other EV models), enabling faster charging times.
✅ Weatherproof & Outdoor-Ready Setup – The homeowner wanted the charger to be accessible outside the garage, so we installed a weatherproof outlet, conduit protection, and a lockable cover.
✅ Smart Charger Integration – We helped the homeowner set up WiFi-enabled charger controls, allowing them to monitor charging sessions and schedule off-peak charging times via a mobile app.
After completing the installation, the homeowner immediately noticed improved convenience and efficiency in their EV charging experience:
✔ Fast & Reliable Charging with Level 2 EV Charger
✔ Sufficient Power Supply with the Upgraded 200-Amp Panel
✔ Safe, Code-Compliant Installation with Proper Breaker Protection
✔ Weatherproof Setup for Outdoor Charging Accessibility
✔ Smart Charger Integration for Easy Monitoring & Scheduling
The homeowner was highly satisfied with our professional service and detailed approach, and they now enjoy the convenience of charging their EV at home without worrying about overloading their electrical system.
