What it costs to charge an EV in Austin

Serving Austin, TX
Austin is one of the country's fastest-growing EV markets, and Charge Home Solutions installs Tesla Wall Connectors, Powerwall, and licensed electrical work across Travis County. Austin Energy is a municipal utility with its own solar and EV programs, and after the 2021 freeze many homeowners add a Powerwall for resilience when the grid strains.
We pull the City of Austin or county permit and size the service for the mix of new tech-corridor builds and older Central Austin homes, places in Hyde Park and Travis Heights often need a 200-amp upgrade before a 48-amp charger, while Round Rock and Cedar Park builds usually have room. We factor in Austin Energy programs where they apply.
