Installing an Electric Vehicle Home Charger requires electrical expertise. It’s typically mounted on a garage wall, connected to a dedicated 240-volt circuit. The process involves wiring, circuit breaker installation, and adhering to local electrical codes. Meer Electric ensures peace of mind, safety, and optimal performance for your Electric Vehicle charging needs.

Electric vehicle (EV) chargers can be broadly categorized into three types, each with different power outputs and charging speeds:
Level 1 Chargers: These are the most basic type of EV chargers. They use a standard 120-volt AC outlet, the same type found in most homes. Level 1 chargers are typically used for overnight charging at home, as they offer the slowest charging speed. It can take about 8-20 hours to fully charge a typical EV using a Level 1 charger, depending on the battery size.
Level 2 Chargers: These chargers are faster than Level 1 and use a 240-volt AC outlet, which is similar to what large appliances like dryers use in homes. Level 2 chargers are often installed in homes, public parking areas, and workplaces. They can charge an EV battery from empty to full in about 4-6 hours, making them suitable for daily use.
DC Fast Chargers (Level 3 Chargers): These are the fastest type of EV chargers available. They use direct current (DC) instead of alternating current (AC) and are typically found in public charging stations, especially along highways. DC Fast Chargers can charge an EV battery to 80% in about 20-30 minutes. However, not all EVs are compatible with DC Fast Charging, and frequent use of fast charging can affect battery health over time.
Each type of charger has its own application, with Level 1 being suitable for overnight home charging, Level 2 for home and public use, and DC Fast Chargers for quick recharging during long trips. The choice of charger often depends on the specific needs and driving patterns of the EV owner.
Installing EV chargers in an apartment complex involves a series of steps to ensure convenience and sustainability for residents. Installation typically involves upgrading the electrical system, if necessary, and installing dedicated circuits to handle the increased load. Effective communication with residents about the installation timeline, usage policies, and any potential costs is crucial for a smooth transition. This initiative not only enhances the property’s value and appeal but also supports the growing demand for eco-friendly transportation solutions.

I have been very pleased with all the work done for me by all Meer employees involved. Quick response with excellent technicians.
Meer is quick to answer calls and schedule appointments. I have even had to ask then to revisit an installation on a ceiling fan to rewire the remote control to the wall switch and they were quick to respond. Their techs are very friendly and neat. They dispose of boxes and old fixtures.
I have been looking for a good reliable electrician for a while. This is my service.
Great guys who were very knowledgeable and quite efficient. Very reliable. You’re everything all rolled up into one!
Very professional and courteous! I will hire Meer again for other work! Good job! Price is very good too!!
Richard and Frank were great. Professional but friendly and good sense of humor. Job was done quicker than expected and it was done “Right”.
This was my first time using Meer – from the office phone call to the service, everything was excellent. I will recommend you to all of my friends and co-workers!
These were two of the nicest guys I’ve ever had work in my home. Although my repairs were simple this time, over the years I’ve had a hard time finding electricians that could figure out difficult wiring issues. Meer has always been able to get a smart electrician who can work through difficult situations and solve the problems. I could not ask for anything more. Great guys – neat, friendly and knowledgeable.
Richard and Robert did an excellent job! I could not be at the appointment due to a work commitment, so my mother met with the electricians for me. They were very patient with her while she communicated issues back and forth to me so that I could make the final decisions. They were also very helpful with the placement of lights for not only function, but aesthetics as well! My mother said that she has never been more impressed with a company and that she now wants to be a customer of Meer Electric as well!
Both crews for this project did outstanding work. Our residents and staff thank Peter, Richard D., and both crews for completing this project in a timely and professional manner. Account manager Richard Deininger does an excellent job with us and responds in a timely manner.
