EV Charger Installation
Select Power installs Level 2 EV chargers for homes and businesses, from a single garage unit to a bank of chargers at a commercial property. A standard residential install takes half a day: load calculation, permit, a dedicated 240-volt circuit run from the panel, the charger mounted and commissioned, then inspection. Level 1 charging on a standard 120-volt outlet adds roughly 3 to 5 miles of range per hour. A 48-amp Level 2 charger adds 30 to 40, which turns an overnight problem into a two-hour one. Our licensed electricians size the circuit to the charger under NEC Article 625, verify your panel can carry it before quoting, and handle the permit and inspection. Price and scope in writing before we start.
Tesla, Level 2, and Home EV Charger Installation
We install any Level 2 charger a manufacturer or utility approves, and the hardware falls into two connector families. Tesla vehicles use the NACS connector, now standardized as SAE J3400, and the Tesla Wall Connector delivers up to 48 amps on a 60-amp circuit.
The Universal Wall Connector adds a J1772 adapter so a Ford, Rivian, Hyundai, or Kia can charge from the same unit. Non-Tesla chargers we install regularly include the ChargePoint Home Flex, Wallbox Pulsar Plus, Emporia, Autel MaxiCharger, and Grizzl-E. Hardwired units carry a higher amperage ceiling than plug-in models on a NEMA 14-50 receptacle, and we will tell you which one your charging habits justify.
What Your Home Needs for a Level 2 EV Charger
A Level 2 charger needs a dedicated 240-volt circuit sized at 125 percent of the charger's continuous load, so a 40-amp charger takes a 50-amp breaker and a 48-amp charger takes a 60-amp breaker. The panel has to have both the spare capacity and the physical slots.
We run an NEC Article 220 load calculation first, and if a 100-amp service cannot carry the charger we will quote a panel upgrade or a load management device that shares capacity with your AC or dryer, whichever costs you less. Installs include GFCI protection per NEC 625.54, conduit sized for the run, and the permit and inspection filed by us.
