Electric Vehicle Charger Installation
With more and more South Carolina residents opting to trade in their gas-guzzling cars for electric-powered vehicles, the need for EV charging stations continues to rise. And while the City of Simpsonville has done much to encourage the switch from gas to electric cars with their installation of electric vehicle charging stations across the city, there is still a shortage of conveniently located charging stations available to the wider public.
Private businesses such as hotels, shopping centers, and restaurants have even joined in on the initiative by having EV charging stations installed for their guests. And the surge in calls from Simpsonville homeowners inquiring about stations for their homes is a true sign of the times.

Our licensed and insured electricians can install your car charging station in Simpsonville, and the entire greater Greenville, SC area.
Level 1 Charging Station
The major difference between each type of EV charging option is going to be the speed at which the charge occurs. The first and least expensive option is an outlet for the standard wall plug that comes with electric cars. And like you may have guessed, being the least expensive option, this is also the slowest.
Level 2 Charging Station
This is by large the most common type of charging station found in public, these chargers need to be wall mounted meaning that the installation cost is slightly higher, as it’s more involved. The major advantage is that a Level 2 charger will power electric vehicles much faster than their Level 1 counterparts.
Level 3 Charging Station
Designed primarily for commercial use, the Level 3 charger will have the highest upfront purchasing price, and slightly higher installation cost. The charging speed of these units is unmatched.
How Much Does An EV Charger Installation Cost?
The cost of the installation of each type of charging station will vary based on the estimated time it will take to complete the installation and the amount of work to be performed. Understanding the costs associated with a new EV charging station installation is a very important part of the decision-making process. That is why at Three Reasons Electric we are proud to provide estimates on all EV charging station installations in Simpsonville and throughout our service areas in Greenville, SC, and the entire Upstate.
Charge Your Car at Home
An electric vehicle can make a positive impact on your life and the environment. The popularity of electric vehicles is rising because of these benefits as well as the low cost of ownership. However, you can’t just plug your car into any old socket at home. Most electric vehicles are incompatible with the standard 120-volt outlet you might already have in your garage. While there are electric vehicles that can charge from these outlets, it can take as much as 20 hours – or more! – to fully charge. When you need to get the kids to school and yourself to work, you can’t wait that long for your car to be ready to go.
Three Reasons Electric has a solution for your electric vehicle charging needs! Our Simpsonville electricians can install electric vehicle chargers in your home, using state-of-the-art technology to keep your vehicle on the move. Unlike standard outlets, electric vehicle charging stations are specialized to ensure that your vehicle is charged faster, safer, and more reliably.
In addition, because these special 240-volt connections draw less current, these electric vehicle charging stations can save you money on your electrical bills and reduce the strain on your home’s electrical equipment. These specialized chargers also help monitor the health of your vehicle’s battery, which helps extend their lifespan so you can take to the road knowing that your car is protected.
