Frequently Asked Questions

• How are EV chargers installed at home?

  At Daven Electric Corp., we follow a detailed process to safely install Residential Electric Vehicle Chargers that meet all local and national code requirements. Here’s how we typically handle a Home EV Charger Installation:

  1. Site evaluation – Our residential electrician inspects your home’s electrical system and recommends the right charger type (typically Level 2).
  2. Permit handling – We coordinate with the Local Building Department to secure any required permits.
  3. Panel check—If your electrical panel needs an upgrade, our residential electrical contractor will take care of that first.
  4. Dedicated circuit installation – A new circuit is installed for the EV charger to ensure safety and performance.
  5. Charger mounting and wiring – We install the unit from a trusted EV Charger Manufacturer and connect it to your system.
  6. Final testing – We verify that the entire setup is safe, efficient, and ready for use.

• How much does it cost to put in an EV charger at home?

  The cost of installing a home EV charger can vary depending on your electrical setup, charger type, and site conditions. As a residential electrical contractor, we’ve seen most installations range between $800 and $2,500. Here’s what affects the final price:

  • Charger type (Level 1 vs Level 2 – most choose Level 2 for faster charging)
  • Panel upgrades (if your electrical panel is outdated or underpowered)
  • Distance from panel to charger location
  • Permitting and inspections required by the Local Building Department
  • Wall-mounted vs. pedestal installation

  Our residential electrician will always provide a clear estimate before any work begins. We also explain EV charger installation cost factors up front and walk you through the process to avoid surprises.

• Is it worth installing an EV charger at home?

  Yes, absolutely—and we hear this all the time from homeowners. As a residential electrical contractor, we know how valuable it is to have control over your vehicle’s charging. Here’s why it’s worth it:

  • Convenience – No more searching for public chargers.
  • Savings – Charge during off-peak hours to reduce costs.
  • Safety – Professional installation by a licensed residential electrician means worry-free use.
  • Home value – Residential EV Charging Stations are becoming valuable in today’s housing market.

  Most of our customers say the Home EV Charger Setup pays for itself in time saved and energy management. If you plan to drive an electric vehicle long-term, it’s a smart investment.

• Can I leave my EV charger plugged in when not in use?

  Yes, it’s safe to leave your Residential Electric Vehicle Charger plugged in when it’s not in use. Most chargers are designed with built-in safety features to prevent energy waste or hazards. As experienced residential electricians, we install systems that:

  • Automatically shut off once your car is fully charged
  • Follow National Electrical Code (NEC) standards
  • Are weatherproof for outdoor use (depending on model)

  If you’re unsure, our residential electrical contractor will walk you through safe operation during the installation process. We also include a residential EV charging setup guide with every install. Hence, you know exactly how to use and maintain your charger.

• How much will my electric bill go up with an EV charger?

  The increase in your bill depends on how much you drive and when you charge your vehicle. On average, Brooklyn homeowners can expect their electric bill to increase by $30 to $70 per month with regular EV use. Here’s a breakdown:

  • 10 to 15 cents per kWh is the typical utility rate in NYC.
  • A full charge for most EVs uses 30 to 40 kWh.
  • Charging 3–4 times a week adds up over a month.

  Our residential electrician can show you how to optimize your EV charging schedule and minimize costs. As a residential electrical contractor, we often recommend charging at night during off-peak hours to reduce your usage rate. If your utility provider offers EV-specific rates, we’ll also help you set that up.
