Residential EV charger installation involves checking your electrical panel capacity, running a dedicated circuit to where your vehicle parks, and mounting a Level 1 (120V) or Level 2 (240V) charger sized to your driving. GKM Electric LLC verifies grounding and breaker requirements, and most installs finish in a single day.
The right choice comes down to your daily mileage and how long the car sits parked at home.
| Feature | Level 1 (120V) | Level 2 (240V) |
|---|---|---|
| Charging speed | Slow — a few miles per hour | Fast — full charge overnight |
| Circuit needed | Standard household outlet | Dedicated 240V circuit |
| Best for | Low daily mileage, backup | Regular commutes, most drivers |
| Panel check | Usually none | Capacity checked before install |

Straight answers to what Lancaster County drivers ask before installing a home charger.
A Level 1 charger uses a standard 120V outlet and charges slowly, suiting low daily mileage. A Level 2 charger uses a 240V dedicated circuit and charges several times faster — which is why most owners with regular commutes choose Level 2.
Yes. A single Level 2 charger can serve two EVs by charging them at different times, or a home can be wired for a second charger or a load-managed setup. We plan panel capacity to support your current and future vehicles.
Most residential EV charger installs are completed in a single day once the charger is on hand. Time depends on the distance from your panel and whether a panel upgrade is needed.
Hardwired chargers suit outdoor installs, higher amperage, and a clean permanent setup; plug-in units on a 240V outlet are easier to swap later. We recommend the right one for your charger, location, and driving pattern.
Yes. If a second EV is likely, we can size the panel and plan the circuit layout now so adding a second charger later is straightforward instead of a full upgrade.
