How to Choose the Right EV Charger for Your Home in Orlando

If you’re one of the many Orlando residents switching to an electric vehicle (EV), one of your first decisions is figuring out which EV charger to install at home. With Orlando’s growing EV infrastructure and Florida’s push for clean transportation, having a home charging station isn’t just convenient—it’s becoming essential.

At EV Pro Solutions, we specialize in EV charger installation for homes throughout the Orlando area, from Winter Park to Lake Nona and beyond.

Understanding Level 1 vs. Level 2 Charging

Before selecting a charger, it’s important to understand your options:

Level 1 Chargers

• Use a standard 120V outlet
• Slow charging (adds 3–5 miles per hour)
• Best for plug-in hybrids or low-mileage drivers

Level 2 Chargers

• Use a 240V outlet (like your dryer)
• Fast charging (adds 20–40 miles per hour)
• Ideal for daily commuters and all-electric vehicles

Orlando Tip: With daily commuting and high summer A/C use, a Level 2 charger gives you the speed and efficiency needed in Central Florida’s conditions.

Key Features to Look for in a Home EV Charger

1. Charging Speed
Faster amps = faster charging. We typically recommend 40–48 amp chargers for Orlando homeowners.

2. Smart Connectivity
Look for Wi-Fi-enabled chargers you can control from your phone—schedule charging to avoid peak hours and track energy usage.

3. Weather Resistance
Orlando storms are no joke. Make sure your charger is NEMA-rated for outdoor use if installed in a carport or driveway.

4. Cable Length
You’ll want at least an 18–25 foot charging cable to comfortably reach your EV from the mount point.

5. Brand Compatibility
Most EVs (Tesla included, with adapter) use the universal J1772 connector.
