Electric Vehicle Charging Station installation throughout Metro Denver.
So, you’ve decided to buy an electric vehicle (EV). Congratulations! To get started, discuss your charging needs with your electric vehicle dealer.
Be sure your Denver area home electric vehicle fueling station is powered and ready to go before you bring your car home.
While many electric car chargers can easily be plugged into a standard home outlet, newer, more efficient models require more energy.
Driving an electric vehicle equates to spending about $1 per gallon of gas.
We support electric car owners to save money and do their part for the environment.
When Electri-Serve installs an electric vehicle charging station in your home, you can be sure your car has what it needs to get you where you’re going – without a longer charging wait time with a more traditional outlet!
For non-commercial uses, Level 1 or Level 2 charging should meet your needs.
Keep in mind that the more power supplied through the charger, the faster the vehicle’s battery will charge. Here are the differences between the two types of charging available for your electric vehicle.
Level 1 Denver EV charging stations.
Level one is achieved through a 120v receptacle. At this level, you can expect between four and five miles of driving per hour of charging. More power means faster charging so consider your average daily mileage.
If you have a long commute or cover many miles from day-to-day, you might find that level 1 charging takes too long and is impractical for your driving needs. If that’s the case, you should choose a level 2 charging station.
Level 2 Denver EV charging stations.
Level two charging is achieved through a 240v receptacle and requires the installation of additional charging equipment. Your EV dealer can help you choose the equipment that is best for your vehicle and for your driving needs. Using level 2 charging delivers between 25 and 30 miles of driving per hour of charging.
Comparing Level 1 and Level 2 EV charging stations.
The more power supplied through the charger, the faster the vehicle’s battery will charge. Typical charging time when charging at 120v is approximately five hours. Typical charging time when charging at 240v is approximately two to two-and-a-half hours.
When considering the 240v circuit and receptacle, aside from faster charging times, the increasing popularity of electric vehicles means that adding a 240v circuit and receptacle to your garage will add value to your property and would be considered an amenity to a home buyer.

Where should I locate my electric vehicle charging station?
- Most EV home chargers come with cords that are between 20 and 25 feet in length.
- The National Electrical Code (NEC) limits charging cords to a maximum of 25 feet, and the NEC does not allow extension cords to be used as permanent wiring.
- Be sure that your vehicle will be close enough to the charging station to allow for slack in the charging cord. This will ensure a full charge and prevents possible damage to the charging station, the car, or both.
