EV Charger Installation

At Epperson Inc., we’ve been a family-owned and operated air conditioning, heating, plumbing, and electrical company in Somerset, Kentucky, since 1970. Three generations of the Epperson family have built this business on straightforward hard work and honest service across the greater Pulaski County area, including accommodating electric vehicles (EVs).

EVs and, subsequently, EV charging are becoming a bigger part of daily life in Kentucky. Our electrical division is ready to handle EV charger installation for homes and businesses throughout the region.

Residential EV Charging Stations and Installation

EV charger installation starts with understanding your vehicle, driving habits, and the property's existing electrical capacity. EVs come with a simple Level 1 charger that plugs into a basic 120-volt household outlet. This works for overnight charging, but most EV owners find that a Level 2 charger, which runs on a 240-volt circuit, significantly reduces charging time.

A Level 2 EV charger can fully charge most vehicles in four to eight hours, making it the practical choice for daily drivers who want to start each morning with a full battery. For households with two electric vehicles, a Level 2 setup is especially useful, keeping two cars charged and road-ready on a single overnight cycle.

Installing a Level 2 EV charging station at your home involves running a separate 240-volt circuit from your electric panel to your garage or parking area. The process includes:

  • Evaluating your panel's available capacity.
  • Installing the proper breaker and wiring.
  • Verifying everything meets the current electrical code.
  • Needing a potential electrical panel upgrade to accommodate the additional load.

Our electricians handle the full scope of this work, from the initial assessment through the final inspection.

Commercial EV Charging Stations and Installation

Commercial EV charging station installation follows a similar process on a larger scale. Businesses, apartment complexes, and municipal properties are adding EV charging stations to serve team members, tenants, and customers.
