Level 2 is the home-charging standard: a dedicated 240-volt circuit that refills nearly any EV overnight. We size the circuit to your vehicle and panel, install any brand of charger, and handle permit and inspection.
About Level 2 EV Charger Installation
Level 2 charging is what makes owning an EV effortless: plug in when you get home, wake up to a full battery. The difference from a standard outlet is dramatic, 25–44 miles of range per hour instead of 3–5, and it comes from a dedicated 240-volt circuit that our licensed electricians install to code.
We install every major brand, Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, Emporia, Grizzl-E, JuiceBox, or the charger you already bought. The install includes the load calculation, the correctly sized circuit and breaker, mounting and commissioning, and the permit and inspection.
What determines your installation cost
- Distance from your electrical panel to the charging spot
- Open garage walls (cheaper) vs finished walls (more labor)
- Charger amperage, 48A charging needs a 60A circuit and thicker wire
- Whether your panel has spare capacity or needs an upgrade
- Local permit fees
Hardwired or plug-in
A hardwired charger connects directly to the circuit and supports the fastest home charging (48A). A plug-in charger uses a NEMA 14-50 outlet, tops out at 40A, and is easy to swap or take when you move. Both are code-compliant when installed correctly, we'll recommend the right fit for your charger, panel, and plans.
| Hardwired | Plug-in (NEMA 14-50) | |
|---|---|---|
| Max charge rate | Up to 48A (~44 mi/hr) | Up to 40A (~30 mi/hr) |
| Circuit | 60A | 50A |
| Portable when you move | No (fixed) | Charger yes, outlet stays |
| Outdoor use | Best, no exposed plug | Needs a proper outdoor-rated outlet |
| Best for | Fastest, cleanest permanent install | Flexibility and lower hardware cost |

A 240-volt charger that delivers 25–44 miles of range per hour, versus 3–5 for a standard (Level 1) wall outlet. It's the standard for home EV charging.
Not always. Many homes have spare capacity; a load calculation during your free assessment confirms it before any work.
Hardwired supports higher amperage (up to 48A) and is required for some chargers; a plug-in unit on a NEMA 14-50 outlet is easier to swap. We'll recommend based on your charger and panel.
Most installs are done in 2–4 hours. A long wire run, finished-wall routing, or a detached garage adds time.
For Tesla owners the Wall Connector is the best value; for other EVs we like chargers with strong apps and UL listing. See our best home EV chargers guide, or ask during your free assessment.
