CurrentRS installs residential Level 2 EV chargers and integrates EV charging with solar and battery backup systems. Planning EV charging alongside solar from the start produces a smarter, more cost-effective home energy system.
CurrentRS installs EV chargers and can coordinate related residential energy upgrades — including solar integration, battery backup, and electrical panel assessment — for homeowners in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland.
An electric vehicle is one of the largest additional electrical loads a home can add. When EV charging is planned alongside solar installation from the start, CurrentRS can size the solar system to cover both home consumption and vehicle charging — making your car essentially solar-powered and significantly increasing the financial return of your solar investment.
Level 2 chargers use 240V power to add 15–30 miles of range per hour — practical for daily driving needs.
Level 1 charging (plugging into a standard 120V outlet) adds only 3–5 miles of range per hour — far too slow for most drivers. Level 2 chargers use a dedicated 240V circuit to charge significantly faster, typically fully charging an EV battery overnight. Most EV manufacturers recommend Level 2 as the standard home charging solution. CurrentRS installs and configures Level 2 chargers as part of complete home energy system projects.
Most modern 200A panels can support EV charging; older or loaded panels may need upgrading.
A Level 2 EV charger requires a dedicated 240V circuit, typically 40–50 amps. CurrentRS evaluates your electrical panel capacity before installation to determine if the panel can support EV charging alongside existing loads. Homes with 100A panels or heavily loaded 200A panels may require a panel upgrade. We identify this upfront so there are no surprises during installation.
Solar panels can power your vehicle, essentially eliminating fuel cost for daily driving.
An average EV driver uses 250–350 kWh per month for driving. A properly sized solar system can cover this consumption — meaning your vehicle runs on sunlight rather than grid-priced electricity or gasoline. When EV charging is planned as part of the original solar design, CurrentRS sizes the array to cover both home and vehicle consumption, maximizing the financial return on the solar investment.

Battery storage and EV charging can be coordinated to maximize solar self-consumption.
In a solar-plus-battery-plus-EV system, the battery and EV charger can be configured to charge sequentially: solar first charges the battery, then excess charges the EV. This ensures the home battery reaches full charge before EV charging begins — preserving battery backup capacity while still using solar energy for vehicle charging. CurrentRS designs and configures this coordination as part of a complete system design.
A home designed for EV charging today is better prepared for the electrified future.
Many homeowners who don't yet own an EV are planning to in the next few years. Installing EV charging infrastructure now — conduit, circuits, and a charger — avoids duplicate mobilization costs when the vehicle arrives. CurrentRS can install EV charging infrastructure as part of a solar or battery project at a fraction of the cost of a standalone future installation.
