Services / EV Charging / Home EV Charger Installation
Charge at home, faster than a regular outlet.
We size, install and set up a Level 2 charger that fits your home, your panel and your car, so you start every day with a full battery.
When you need it
Signs it's time to call
A regular outlet is too slow
A standard household outlet adds only a few miles of range per hour. A 240-volt Level 2 charger is far faster.
A new EV or plug-in hybrid
Get the charger ready before the car arrives, or shortly after.
Not sure your panel can handle it
A load calculation tells you whether you have the capacity, or need load management or an upgrade.
Where does it go?
Garage wall, driveway post or carport. We plan the location and the wire run.

Good to know
How fast your car charges depends on the charger, your circuit and the car's own onboard charger. A higher-amp charger will not charge faster than your car can accept, so we match the charger to the car. Incentives vary by state, utility and year, and we cannot guarantee eligibility.
FAQ
Home EV Charger Installation questions
How fast is a Level 2 home charger?
Typically several times faster than a standard outlet. Real speed depends on the charger's amperage and what your car can accept. Many drivers charge fully overnight.
Do I need a panel upgrade?
Not always. A load calculation shows whether your panel and service can carry the charger. Load management can avoid an upgrade in some homes.
Which charger should I buy?
Choose one that suits your car's maximum AC charging rate, your circuit and features such as scheduling. We can advise, or install the one you already have.
Do I need a permit?
Usually, yes. We handle the permit and the inspection.
What about a condo or apartment?
You will usually need approval from your building or association first. See our EV charging page for multifamily projects.
