EV Charger Installation | Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
As electric vehicles surge into the spotlight, having the right EV charger at home or your business isn’t just a luxury—it’s a modern necessity.
Whether you’re a first-time EV owner or an eco-conscious business owner exploring EV charging stations, understanding how these systems work can feel like navigating a maze. That’s where Mauro Electric steps in—to bring clarity, confidence, and certified expertise to every electric mile.
Let’s explore the world of EV chargers, what makes them essential, and why the proper installation can make all the difference.
What Are EV Chargers and How Do They Work?
An EV charger, often called a vehicle charger, is a device that supplies electric energy to recharge electric vehicles. Think of it as the modern version of a gas pump—but brighter, cleaner, and often more efficient.
There are several levels of EV charging:
- Level 1: Standard household outlet; slower charging rate.
- Level 2: A dedicated charging unit like the ChargePoint Home Flex or a wall connector is ideal for home charging.
- Level 3 (DC Fast Chargers): These are typically found in public charging stations and are great for quick charging on the go.
Most EVs come with an onboard charger that manages how the vehicle receives power. However, choosing the correct plug type and charging equipment ensures compatibility, speed, and safety.
Mauro Electric helps you select the best system for your vehicle model, usage needs, and property infrastructure.
Local Customer EV Install Reviews For Mauro Electric
Don’t Take Our Word For It, Hear From Our Customers
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Daniel from Mauro electric did a wonderful job installing an EV charger on the outside of our garage. It was quick and efficient to get the estimate, and then quick and efficient to get the work done. Our project included tunneling through concrete wall of our garage to install the EV charger, and they did excellent work, and it looks great! The cost was very reasonable, and less than the quote from a competitor. Will definitely hire Mauro Electric again!”

“We hired Mauro Electric for multiple jobs for our home that included 1) Electric panel upgrade 2) Install two ceiling fans replacing light fixture 3) Upgrade old bathroom bent fan to bluetooth fan 4) Install EV 50A charger in Garage 5) Add socket for a dedicated Smart Toilet 6) Add socket for Smart Water leak detector. The service team under Ricky M. and Daniel Dominguez have delivered nothing less than fantastic output for all of the jobs they executed. The cherry on the top was their guarantee on all of the work they delivered for my home that lasts at least a year and even beyond if they don’t meet their highest quality promise.“

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Good value. I work with low-volt electrical work every day so I know what to look for in quality electrical work. I usually do my own electrical work but I wanted a professional for a panel replacement and EV charger installation. I gathered quotes from 4 companies and Mauro was the lowest. The electrician and his apprentice (both named Tyler) swapped out the panel, added new bonding and grounding to bring it up to code, then labeled each circuit (even the ones that had no labels before). The charger I ordered arrived late, so they arranged to come back the next day.”

LEVEL 1 CHARGER
