Ohio Tops 130K EVs; Titan Electric Urges Home Charging Prep

Ohio has crossed a significant milestone: more than 130,000 plug-in vehicles are now registered in the state, according to U.S. Department of Energy data. The The Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center reports approximately 94,200 all-electric vehicles and 37,200 plug-in hybrids registered through 2025, based on Experian registration data. With EV adoption accelerating, Akron-area electrical contractor Titan Electric Services is urging homeowners to plan for home charging before a new vehicle arrives in the driveway. Craig Brammer, owner of Titan Electric Services, a licensed akron ohio electrician with offices in Akron and Kent, notes that most calls come after a car has already been purchased. He advises having the electrical panel inspected beforehand to determine the cleanest way to add a charger.

According to the Department of Energy, Most electric vehicle drivers charge overnight at home with either Level 1 or Level 2 equipment. While Level 1 uses the vehicle’s supplied cordset, Level 2 runs at 240 volts for faster charging. However, not every home has sufficient electrical capacity for Level 2, and an electrician can assess whether an upgrade is needed. Titan’s ev charger installation akron service begins with a load review and dedicated circuit. Homes needing more capacity may require an electrical panel upgrade akron to 200-amp service, including permit coordination. Brammer also warns that repeatedly tripping breakers after adding a charger or large appliance signal a need for inspection, handled by the company’s electrician akron team. Titan offers complimentary estimates and serves Akron, Cuyahoga Falls, Stow, Green, Kent, and Hudson.
