What Is EV Charger Installation?
EV charger installation involves mounting a Level 2 charging unit, running dedicated wiring from your electrical panel, installing a new breaker, and ensuring proper grounding and safety disconnects. Unlike plugging into a standard 120V outlet (which takes days to charge), a Level 2 charger adds 20–40 miles of range per hour.
We assess your existing panel capacity first. If your panel needs an upgrade, we can do that too. Every installation meets National Electrical Code (NEC) standards and includes a permit and final inspection.
