What to Look For

  • Safety listing. Pick a charger listed by UL, ETL or another testing lab. Skip cheap no name units sold online.
  • Power. Most home chargers run at 40 or 48 amps. More amps only helps if your car and your panel can use it.
  • Plug or hardwire. Some models do both. Our hardwired vs. plug in guide explains the difference.
  • Connector. Check which plug your car uses. Many newer EVs are moving to the Tesla style port, while older ones use J1772. Adapters work, but a matching cable is simpler.
  • Cable length. Measure from the wall to your charge port, and add some slack.
  • Outdoor rating. If it will be outside, make sure it's built for rain and Carolina summers.
  • Wi-Fi and app. Handy for scheduling charging at off peak times, but not a must.

Match the Charger to Your Home

The best charger is one your electrical system can handle. A 48 amp charger needs a 60 amp circuit, and some Charlotte homes don't have room in the panel for that.

An electrician can tell you what your panel supports before you buy. If it's tight, a lower setting or a panel upgrade may be the answer.

Planning for two EVs? Some chargers can share one circuit and split the power between both cars, which can save you a second circuit. Our dual EV charger installation page covers the options.

Check for Duke Energy Credits

If you're a Duke Energy customer, the Charger Prep Credit may cover part of your wiring and charger costs. Our Duke Energy EV charger credit page explains how it works.

Keep your receipts and invoices, since you'll need them to apply.

Getting It Installed

Whatever you choose, a licensed electrician should install it with the right breaker, wire size and permit. Learn more on our Level 2 charger installation page, or see typical prices on our installation cost page.
