Your Central Oregon EV Journey Starts at Home

Electric vehicles are no longer a novelty on the roads of Redmond and Terrebonne; they are a significant part of our community’s commitment to a sustainable, forward-thinking lifestyle. But the true convenience of owning an EV isn’t just about skipping the gas station; it’s about the freedom of starting each day with a full charge. Relying on public charging stations can create range anxiety and disrupt your schedule. A dedicated home charging station transforms your EV experience, making it as simple as plugging in your smartphone overnight.

At Redmond Electric, we are the region’s trusted experts in bridging the gap between your new electric vehicle and your home’s electrical system. We provide safe, reliable, and code-compliant installations that empower you to embrace the full potential of electric mobility with confidence.

Finding the Right EV Charging Solution for You

Understanding the different levels of charging is the first step in planning your home installation. We help you select the perfect fit for your vehicle, driving habits, and budget.

Level 1 Charging: The Basics

  • What it is: A Level 1 charger uses a standard 120-volt household outlet, the same kind you use for a lamp or a laptop. Your vehicle comes with a cordset for this.
  • Charging Speed: This is the slowest option, typically providing only 3-5 miles of range per hour of charging.
  • Best For: Plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) with smaller batteries, or as a backup option for a battery electric vehicle (BEV). For most BEV owners, this is too slow for daily use.

Level 2 Charging: The Home Standard

  • What it is: A Level 2 charger is a dedicated charging station that runs on a 240-volt circuit, similar to an electric dryer or oven.
  • Charging Speed: This is the sweet spot for home charging, providing 25-40 miles of range per hour. This allows for a full charge overnight, every night.
  • Best For: This is the recommended solution for all battery electric vehicles (BEVs). It ensures you always have the range you need for your daily commute and weekend adventures around Central Oregon.

Our certified electricians have extensive experience with all leading charging station brands and vehicle types. We ensure your installation is performed exactly to manufacturer’s specifications for optimal performance and safety.

Our Streamlined EV Charger Installation Process

We make the process of getting a home charger simple and transparent from start to finish.

  1. Initial Consultation & Electrical Assessment: We start by discussing your vehicle, driving habits, and desired charger location. We then perform a load calculation on your electrical panel to ensure it has the capacity for the new circuit.
  2. Location Planning: We help you choose the best location in your garage or on your property for convenience and safety.
  3. Permit Acquisition: We handle the entire permitting process with the local jurisdiction to ensure your installation is fully compliant with all codes.
  4. Panel Upgrade (If Necessary): If your current panel is insufficient, we can seamlessly perform an electrical panel upgrade to support the new load.
  5. Dedicated Circuit Installation: Our electricians run a new, dedicated 240-volt circuit from your panel to the charger location using the proper wire gauge and a new breaker.
  6. Charger Mounting & Connection: We securely mount the charging station to the wall and make the final electrical connections.
  7. System Testing & Commissioning: We power up the charger, test its functionality, and help you connect it to your home’s Wi-Fi for smart features and app setup.
  8. Usage Walkthrough: We provide a clear walkthrough of how to use your new charger, understand the indicator lights, and utilize its smart features.

Key Electrical Requirements for a Level 2 Charger

A safe EV charging station installation in Terrebonne, OR, requires professional attention to detail.

  • Panel Capacity: Most installations require a 200-amp service panel to have sufficient capacity. We will verify this during our initial assessment.
  • Dedicated Circuit: A Level 2 charger must be on its own dedicated circuit with a dual-pole breaker, typically ranging from 40 to 60 amps, depending on the charger’s output.
  • GFCI Protection: For safety, the circuit must have Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection, which is often built into the charger itself.
  • Proper Wiring: The distance from the panel to the charger determines the required thickness (gauge) of the copper wire to prevent voltage drop and ensure safety.

Costs, Incentives, and the ROI of Home Charging

Investing in a home charger is one of the smartest financial decisions an EV owner can make. While installation costs vary based on the distance from the panel and any required panel upgrades, the long-term value is undeniable. We help you maximize your investment by providing transparent pricing and assisting with incentive applications.

  • Federal Tax Credits: Homeowners may be eligible for a federal tax credit covering a portion of the equipment and installation costs.
  • Oregon State & Utility Rebates: Oregon and local utilities, such as Pacific Power, often offer rebates for installing qualified smart chargers. We stay up-to-date on all available programs.
  • Financing Options: We offer flexible financing to help spread the cost of your installation over time.

Commercial EV Charging for Your Business

Attract high-value customers and employees by offering EV charging at your business. We design and install commercial charging solutions for:

  • Workplaces: Offer employee charging as a highly sought-after perk.
  • Retail & Hospitality: Attract EV drivers and encourage them to spend more time at your location.
