Common questions
Can I buy an EV charger from Octopus Energy?
Octopus Energy primarily offers electricity supply services and generally does not sell EV charging hardware. You will need to purchase your charger from a separate vendor. We then specialize in the professional installation of your chosen charging equipment.
How much does it cost to put in a level 2 charger at home?
The installation cost for a Level 2 charger in Pennsylvania is influenced by factors such as the distance from your electrical panel, the condition of your existing wiring, and any necessary electrical upgrades. We provide a detailed estimate following an on-site assessment to ensure accuracy.
Is a level 2 charger worth the cost?
For most EV owners in Pennsylvania, a Level 2 charger offers significant value. It substantially reduces charging times compared to a standard outlet, making overnight charging practical for daily commutes. This convenience and time savings often justify the installation expense.
What is the lifespan of a level 2 charger?
A properly installed Level 2 EV charger typically lasts between 10 to 15 years. The charger's longevity is influenced by the quality of the hardware and adherence to electrical installation standards. Professional installation helps maximize its operational life.
Can I install my own level 2 charger at home?
