⚡ The Industry Truth
What some companies say: "Any outlet will work — just plug it in!"
What's actually true: A standard outlet only trickle-charges an EV and isn't rated for the sustained load. A proper Level 2 install needs a dedicated circuit sized correctly for your panel and your vehicle.
DFW Notes
Many DFW homes built before 2015 don't have spare panel capacity for a Level 2 charger — this is common in Frisco and Plano's older subdivisions. We check your panel's available capacity before quoting so there are no surprises.
"I am thoroughly impressed with the exceptional service provided by Jim at Truth Electric. He managed the installation of a new Tesla Wall Charger (Gen 3) with remarkable expertise and attention to detail. It is crucial to find an electrician who prioritizes quality, and Truth Electric unequivocally meets that standard."
