Buying an EV? Here’s What Most People Don’t Know About EV Chargers. 

Before you drive off the lot, there’s one key piece most EV buyers overlook: you need an EV Charger at home.

Midbrod Electric isn’t just an installer—we’re your EV charging partner. We help homeowners and property owners avoid costly mistakes and make smart, future-proof decisions.

Top 5 Things You Need to Know Before Buying an EV Charger

1. Not All Chargers Are the Same

There are three charger levels. Level 1 is painfully slow. Level 2 is ideal for most homes, and Level 3 is for commercial use.

 If you want a full charge in hours (not days), you need Level 2. We’ll help you pick the right model and brand for your vehicle.

2. Your Electrical Panel Might Not Be Ready

Most homes need a dedicated 240V circuit for Level 2 charging. To avoid surprises, don’t buy a charger before a licensed electrician evaluates your panel’s capacity. Midbrod Electric does this during your site visit.

3. You Can’t Just Plug and Play

Installations must meet code requirements, and many cities require permits and inspections. Midbrod Electric handles all of that—no headaches, no red tape.

4. Smart EV  Chargers Offer More Than Speed

Some chargers track energy usage, schedule off-peak charging, and connect to smart home systems. We’ll help you compare features and avoid overpaying for hype.

5. Incentives and Rebates Are Available

Depending on where you live, you may qualify for utility or federal incentives. Midbrod Electric stays current with the latest programs and helps you get the most savings possible.
