Outlet Charging vs. Hardwired Charging — What’s the Better Option?

Choosing the right charging setup is essential for safety, performance, and long-term reliability. Here’s how a basic NEMA 14-50 outlet compares to a professionally hardwired Level 2 EV charger.

NEMA 14-50 Outlet Charging (Plug-In Charging)
Pros:

+ Lower upfront cost
+ Faster installation when electrical panel is nearby
+ Works with many portable Level 2 chargers
+ Easy to replace or upgrade in the future
Cons:
– Running at 40A continuous load can heat the plug over time
– Higher chance of outlet wear, loose connections, or plug failure
– Not ideal for daily long-duration charging
– Outdoor outlets are more exposed to moisture and corrosion
– Requires regular inspection to ensure safety

Hardwired Level 2 Charging (Recommended for Most Homes)
Pros:

+ Supports higher amperage for faster charging
+ Cooler, more stable operation
+ No plug or outlet wear — permanent secure connection
+ Ideal for daily overnight charging
+ Cleaner installation with conduit and sealed wiring
+ Required for some high-demand EV chargers
+ More durable and weather-resistant for outdoor installations
Cons:
– Slightly higher installation cost
– Requires an electrician to modify in the future

Which Option Should You Choose?
A NEMA 14-50 outlet can be a good solution for:
• Basic overnight charging
• Lower mileage drivers
• Temporary setups or rentals
A hardwired Level 2 charger is the better choice for:
• Faster charging needs
• Daily long-duration charging
• Multiple EV households
• Outdoor installations
• Highest reliability and safety

Most Sacramento homeowners choose hardwired chargers because they run cooler, charge faster, last longer, and perform better in hot and cold conditions.

How Cronus Service Ensures Safe, High-Quality Installation

Every installation includes:
• Load calculation
• Correct breaker sizing
• Proper wire gauge & conduit
• GFCI protection (required by code)
• Grounding & bonding verification
• Charger commissioning
• App setup & testing
• Inspection approval if needed

Most installations are completed the same day in most cases.

Into The D.

I requested quotes from five AC companies and most of them were overpriced- the highest was over $25k. There were others that were less. Cronus service came out the lowest, so I went with them. Sergei, Dennis, and Alex were very professional. They actually shook my hand and introduced themselves. It was a two day install, temps were hot but they kept on working and didn't stop until the install was completed. At the end of the day this company and the workers at top notch. You can trust them, no gimmicks or stings attached.

Highly recommend Cronus Service! AC unit was not working and was able to get a serviceman from Cronus Service for a same day FREE diagnostic. Other repair companies charged upwards of $200 just for the service.
Upon arrival (communication was very clear and crisp), Alex took a look at our system and diagnosed the issue right away. He took time to explain everything that was happening and what his recommended fixes were. The quoted cost was very fair and he had the parts ready in his truck to fix right away. Even included a free tune up!

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for EV charger installation?

Yes. Most Sacramento-area cities require a permit for EV chargers to ensure proper wiring, breaker sizing, grounding, and conduit installation. Cronus Service handles permits on your behalf.

Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel?

Not always. Many homes can support Level 2 chargers without upgrading, but we perform a load calculation to confirm. If needed, we offer panel upgrades from 125A to 400A.

Can any electrician install an EV charger?

Not always. EV chargers require NEC knowledge, EV-specific load calculations, GFCI protection requirements, and correct wiring techniques. Our electricians specialize in EV charging and meet all California code requirements.

Which EV charger is best?

Tesla owners typically choose Tesla Wall Connector or Universal Wall Connector. Non-Tesla EVs pair well with ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Wallbox, or Emporia. Each brand has different strengths — we help select the right one based on your home and vehicle.

Can you install the charger the same day?

Yes — in most cases. If your electrical panel has capacity and conduit runs are simple, we can install the charger the same day. Panel upgrades or long conduit runs may extend installation time.

Is hardwiring better than using a NEMA outlet?

Yes. Hardwired chargers support higher amperage, run cooler, and last longer. Plug-in chargers are convenient but not as robust for daily long-duration charging.
