  2. INCORRECT SIZING OF THE CHARGER One of the most common mistakes is installing a charger that doesn’t match the vehicle’s charging requirements or the home’s electrical capacity. Always ensure that the charger is compatible with your EV and the electrical system it will be connected to.

  3. IMPROPER ELECTRICAL LOAD ASSESSMENT Failing to assess the home's existing electrical load can lead to circuit overloads, resulting in tripped breakers or potential safety hazards. It's essential to calculate the load capacity and determine if an electrical panel upgrade is needed.

  4. SKIPPING PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION Attempting to install an EV charger without professional help can result in improper wiring, which can cause fires or damage to your charger and EV. Hiring a licensed electrician ensures that the installation meets safety codes and regulations.

  5. CHOOSING THE WRONG CHARGER LOCATION Placing the EV charger in an inconvenient or unsafe location, such as too far from the vehicle or exposed to extreme weather, can reduce the charger’s lifespan and efficiency. Choose a sheltered, easily accessible location for optimal performance.

  6. NEGLECTING TO CHECK FOR PERMITS Many regions require permits or inspections for EV charger installations. Neglecting to secure the proper permits can result in fines or the need for expensive rework if the installation doesn't meet local codes. Always check the regulations before starting the installation.
