Like many new EV owners, you may have overlooked the need for a home charging station. While you can certainly get by without one, it can quickly become incredibly inconvenient. Unless you have easy access to an EV charger at work or a nearby fueling station, having a home charger is a must.
There are many benefits to having a home charging station. The most apparent is convenience. Instead of having to leave extra early for work, you can charge your EV while you sleep. You may notice higher utility bills, but this cost will be offset by the money saved in gasoline.
If you are still doing your EV shopping, it is important to know that Tesla electric vehicles have their own unique charging system but don’t worry the SALT team is trained to install every kind of charger, including Tesla wall chargers!
No matter what type of EV you decide to purchase, we can handle your charger installation. Once your Tesla charger is installed in your garage or by your driveway, you will have a reliable charging solution for your vehicle.
SALT can handle general EV charger installations, as well. Other than Tesla, every other EV uses an SAE J1772 connector. However, not all chargers are created equally.
When you are looking for a charging solution for your vehicle, you will encounter many options. Choosing the wrong one can leave you waiting for hours to charge your vehicle. Opting for an advanced charging solution can significantly reduce charge times, which will allow you to get back on the road faster.
Not only do we install chargers, but we can also help to find the perfect charging solution to meet your needs and budget.
When you contact us about our EV charger installation services, let our team know that you need help finding the right home charging system. With a little bit of information about your vehicle, we can match you with the appropriate one.
As mentioned above, Tesla uses proprietary charging equipment, while other brands utilize a standardized plug. That means that there are tons of different brands of EV chargers available for most EV models. As you can see, finding a charging solution can become quite challenging.
Regardless of the brand, all EV chargers will be categorized as Level 1 or Level 2. This includes Tesla home charging options. Once you understand the difference between these chargers, you can make a more informed decision.
Both the Tesla and standard Level 1 chargers operate on a 120V outlet. This is the normal outlet that is found throughout your home and in your garage. While it may be tempting to simply rely on this style of charger for your EV, Level 1 chargers are not very efficient.
The charging rate of Level 1 systems will vary based on your vehicle model. However, virtually any Level 1 charger will only add about 2-8 miles of range per hour of charging time. This means that you are looking at a 20+ hour charging window for a full charge.
Since Level 1 systems are so slow, many EV owners turn to Level 2 charger. A Level 2 charger uses a 240V plug, much like that found on your typical dryer. Since the average garage does not have a 240V plug already installed, you will need to contact our team for an installation.
A Level 2 system can charge your EV three to seven times faster, allowing you to achieve optimal range in 8 hours or less. Our team will install a 240V plug that is wired into your electrical panel. We will ensure that the installation is completed in accordance with modern regulations so that it functions safely.

Brian Compton2025-05-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Christian came out to the house to replace a GFCI plug that had gone bad. Because of their complimentary inspection of both electric panels, Christian was able to identify an issue that could potentially be a problem. He explained the problem and process so that even I understood. He didn’t apply any pressure or push for the “hard sale”. Because of him, I signed up for the membership and will be using SALT for all my household needs going forward! He is a really great asset for SALT!!
