EV charger installation
Level 2 home charging for Tesla, Ford, GM, Rivian and every other major brand. We check your panel can carry it, run a dedicated circuit to where you park, and handle the permit.

Start with the panel, not the charger
A Level 2 charger is one of the largest loads a house carries, and it runs for hours at a time. The electrical code treats it as a continuous load, so the circuit is sized at 125% of the charger’s rating: a 48-amp charger needs a 60-amp circuit.
Whether your panel has room for that is the first question. Many do. Some need a lower charger setting, a load-management device or a panel upgrade. We tell you which after a load calculation, before you buy anything expensive.

How the job runs
Look at the site
Your panel, where you park, and the route between them.

Dedicated circuit run, charger mounted and connected, permit pulled.
Power up and test
We power it up and confirm it charges at the rate it should.
Common questions
Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?
Not always. A load calculation tells us whether your current service can carry a Level 2 charger. Sometimes a lower charger setting or a load-management device avoids an upgrade. Sometimes the panel is genuinely at capacity. We’ll show you the numbers either way.
Which charger should I buy?
Any UL-listed Level 2 charger from a major manufacturer. If you haven’t bought one yet, talk to us first: the right amperage depends on your panel and on your car’s onboard charger, which caps how fast it can actually charge.
Can you install a charger outside?
Yes. Outdoor installations use a charger and fittings rated for outdoor use, with the circuit protected accordingly.
Get a charger installed right
Tell us your car, your charger if you’ve already bought one, and where you park. We’ll take it from there.
