EV Charger Installation
Level 2 charging installed cleanly at home.
A Level 2 charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit and charges several times faster than the standard outlet most people start with. The difference between a full battery overnight and one that never quite catches up. The job starts with a load calculation, because a charger is a serious continuous load and not every panel can carry one. We run the dedicated circuit, install your charger hardwired or on a NEMA 14-50 outlet, and install it to code. If your panel's already maxed out, we'll tell you up front and pair it with an upgrade. We won't quietly overload a box just to close the job.

- Bought an EV, or about to
- Charging slowly off a 120V outlet
- Want a NEMA 14-50 outlet in the garage
- Not sure your panel can handle a charger
What's included
- Load calculation to confirm panel capacity
- Dedicated 240V circuit run from your panel
- Hardwired or NEMA 14-50 outlet install
- Mount and connect the charger unit
- Installed to meet code compliance
Common questions
Do I need a panel upgrade to add an EV charger?
Not always. It depends on your panel's spare capacity, which is exactly why we run a load calculation first. Plenty of upgraded panels handle a charger with room to spare. But an older 100-amp panel that's already running a home is often too tight, and we'll tell you that up front and pair the charger with an upgrade rather than overloading the box.
Hardwired or plug-in (NEMA 14-50), which is better?
Both work; it comes down to your setup. Hardwiring is clean, supports higher continuous output, and is the better call for outdoor or permanent installs. A NEMA 14-50 outlet gives you the flexibility to unplug or take the charger with you, and works well in a garage. We'll walk you through the trade-offs for your charger and your space and wire it accordingly.
Will you install a charger I already bought?
Yes. If you've already got a charger, or you're picking one out, we'll install it, as long as it's a listed, code-compliant unit. We can also recommend a model that fits your panel and parking setup if you haven't bought yet. Either way the install includes the dedicated circuit, installed to meet code compliance.
