Utah's climate presents distinct challenges, with hot, dry summers and cold, snowy winters. This requires EV charger installations to use durable, weather-resistant equipment capable of withstanding extreme temperature fluctuations. We assess homes, noting the prevalence of brick and stucco, to determine the most secure and aesthetically appropriate placement for your charger.

Our installation process adheres to Utah's specific electrical codes and permitting requirements. We conduct a thorough evaluation of your home's electrical panel to ensure it has sufficient capacity for a Level 2 charger, identifying any necessary upgrades. This detailed assessment guarantees a safe, compliant, and efficient charging solution, whether you are in West Valley City or Provo.

Common questions

Can I buy an EV charger from Octopus Energy?

Octopus Energy primarily offers electricity plans and does not typically sell EV charging hardware. You will need to purchase your Level 2 charger from a separate electronics retailer or specialized vendor. We then install the unit you select, ensuring it is correctly integrated with your home's electrical system.

How much does it cost to put in a Level 2 charger at home?

The cost of installing a Level 2 charger in Utah depends on your home's existing electrical infrastructure. Key factors include the amperage of your electrical panel, the distance from the panel to the charging station, and whether any panel upgrades are required. We offer a free phone quote to detail these variables for your specific situation.

Is a Level 2 charger worth the cost?

For EV owners in Utah, a Level 2 charger offers significant convenience and time savings. It dramatically reduces charging time compared to a standard outlet, allowing for a full charge overnight, which is ideal for daily commutes around Provo. The increased utility often makes it a worthwhile investment for any EV driver.
