EV Charger Installation
Hardwired Level 2 charging at home, with a load check first so your panel can actually carry it.
What it is
A Level 2 charger runs on a 240 volt circuit, the same class of power as your dryer, and charges an EV six to eight times faster than the cord in the trunk. The install is a dedicated circuit from your panel to the charger, sized for the draw and done to code. The part that matters happens first: a load calculation that proves your panel can carry the new circuit.
When you need it
- →You bought an EV and the 120 volt cord adds three miles of range an hour
- →Your garage has no 240 volt circuit
- →Another quote skipped the load calculation entirely
- →You want the charger on an outside wall for a driveway spot
How we run it
Load check
We calculate what your panel carries today and what headroom is left. That decides everything else.
Placement
Charger location, cable reach to the port, and the wire run back to the panel. Shorter runs cost less.
Install and test
Dedicated circuit, correct breaker, hardwired or a 14-50 receptacle, torqued and tested. Permit pulled where the city requires it.
Questions
That is a math question, not a guess. A 48 amp charger needs a 60 amp circuit, which is a big bite out of a 100 or 150 amp panel. Sometimes a load management device solves it, sometimes the honest answer is a panel upgrade first. The free inspection tells you which.
Hardwired is cleaner, allows higher amperage, and most manufacturers require it for top charge rates. A 14-50 receptacle is fine for a portable unit. We tell you which one your charger and panel actually support.
