Which Level is Best
When you reach out to Service Minds Mister Sparky for your EV charging station installation, we will help you go over the electrical supply to your home and the type of charging unit that works best for you.
Charging stations are divided into three types:
- Level 1: Level 1 chargers use a standard outlet in your home or office and these come with your electrical vehicle. They work slowly, usually taking all night to charge and are best used at night when other appliances aren’t drawing power.
- Level 2: Level 2 chargers are what our local electricians in Sarasota typically install for homeowners. These need a dedicated 240 volt circuit to quickly charge your vehicle offering 70 miles of driving time for every hour that you are connected. We can help you install a dedicated circuit with the appropriate voltage or facilitate an electrical panel replacement if you need to support more circuits and more amperage to make this a possibility.
- Level 3: Level 3 charges can charge a vehicle much more quickly, bringing a battery to 80% capacity in roughly 30 minutes. These require industrial power levels and are things we can install for commercial purposes.
We can help you decide which one is best, and where to put it!

Tip: When our team comes to your home or office, we can help you figure out which level you need, and what design is best given your goals for accessibility.
Our EV Charging Station Installation Process: What to Expect
When you have the right level in mind, we will send our team to your door.
Step 1: Assessment
We start with an initial assessment of your area and your current power to make sure that you get an accurate estimate for all of the services and costs required.
Step 2: Location
Then we help you decide on the right location. Indoor installations are protected against the weather but if you don’t have a garage you might need an outdoor installation. Moreover, you’ll want something that’s in close proximity to where you normally park, so you don’t end up tripping over a lengthy charging cable.
We need to ensure that your station has good ventilation and easy access to your electrical panel.
As part of this decision process you will also need to decide if you are using a Wi-Fi connection and therefore if close proximity to Wi-Fi is important, as well as your existing space, the side of your vehicle that has the charging port, your budget, and more.
Step 3: Permits
Once we decide which level charger you want, we will work toward getting your permits as quickly as possible so that work can begin.
Step 4: Connections and Installation
With the permits approved, we will send our qualified electricians to your Sarasota home or office to handle the installation process.
Step 5: Inspections
After the installation is complete, we make sure the final inspection is done in a timely fashion so that you can start using your EV charging station.
