Yes, contact Union Power before you install one. A Level 2 charger is a significant new load, and an Energy Specialist can talk through your service capacity and whether the Time-of-Day rate would suit your charging schedule. A qualified electrician should evaluate and install the equipment itself.
- Have the charger’s power requirements and the proposed location ready.
- Ask whether any service coordination is needed for the added load.
- Use a licensed electrician and follow local inspection requirements.
