Level 2 charging, done right
A Level 1 charger plugs into a regular outlet and adds only a few miles of range per hour. Nearly everyone who drives electric ends up wanting Level 2: a 240-volt charger on its own dedicated circuit that can fill most batteries overnight.
Installing one properly is an electrical job, not an accessory: the circuit has to be sized to the charger and to your panel, the run from the panel to your parking spot has to be planned, and the work is permitted and inspected.
What we check on the free visit
- Your panel's capacity, with a load calculation, so the new circuit is safe alongside everything else in the home.
- The route from the panel to where you park, and whether it needs conduit, trenching or a sub-panel.
- Hardwired versus a plug-in outlet (such as a NEMA 14-50), and which suits your charger and location.
- Indoor or outdoor placement and the weather protection it needs.
- The charger you've chosen, or options if you haven't, including smart chargers that can schedule off-peak charging.
- Whether a load-management device can avoid a panel upgrade when capacity is tight.
Homes, condos and businesses
Most of our EV work is at single-family homes, but we also install chargers for businesses, property managers and multi-unit buildings, where the questions become shared circuits, metering and how many vehicles will charge at once. See commercial electrical for that side of the work.
What changes the price
- Distance from the panel to the charger location and how the wire gets there.
- Whether your panel has the capacity or needs a panel upgrade or load-management device.
- Hardwired versus an outlet, and the charger's amperage.
- Trenching for a detached garage or carport.
- Permit fees in your city.
