EV charger installation
A proper Level 2 install starts with a load calculation, not a hole in the wall. We size the circuit, pull the permit and mount the charger where the cable actually reaches.
What's included
- Level 2 (240V) charger installation
- Load calculation before any work
- Panel capacity upgrades when needed
- Hardwired and NEMA 14-50 options
- Permit and inspection included
Before you buy the charger
Most Level 2 chargers draw 40–48 amps continuously. That’s a serious load, and on a 100A service it may be the difference between a simple install and a service upgrade.
We run a load calculation first using the actual appliance list for your house, not a rule of thumb. If your service can’t carry the charger, we’ll tell you before you buy it — and give you options: a lower-amperage setting, load management hardware, or a panel upgrade.
Installation day
The charger goes as close to your parking spot as the service allows, on a dedicated circuit with the correct breaker and conductor size for the unit you bought. We pull the permit, mount and wire the unit, then commission it and confirm it’s charging at the expected rate.
Hardwired installs avoid the extra connection point and are usually the better long-term choice outdoors. A NEMA 14-50 outlet is fine if you want to be able to unplug the charger later.
What it costs
A straightforward install within 25 feet of the panel is typically $850–$1,400 including permit. Longer runs, trenching, or a service upgrade are quoted separately and always approved in writing first.
