Why Install at Home

The Advantages of Home Charging

A professional home charger is safer, faster, and more economical than any public alternative.

Wake Up at 100%

Charge overnight and start every day with a full battery — no stops, no anxiety.

Lower Cost Per Mile

Home electricity rates are significantly cheaper than public fast chargers, especially off-peak.

Safer Than Extension Cords

A dedicated 240V circuit eliminates fire risk from improvised Level 1 charging setups.

Increases Home Value

An installed EV charger is a valued amenity that buyers increasingly expect in new home purchases.

Faster Than Level 1

Level 2 charging is up to 8x faster than a standard outlet — making overnight charging practical for any EV.

Smarter Grid Usage

Smart chargers let you schedule charging during low-rate overnight hours to minimize your energy bill.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most often. Don't see yours? Give us a call.

Level 1 uses a standard 120V outlet and adds about 4–5 miles of range per hour — suitable for plug-in hybrids or very low daily mileage. Level 2 uses a 240V dedicated circuit and adds 25–30+ miles per hour, making it ideal for full EVs. We recommend Level 2 for most homeowners.
Not necessarily. Many homes have enough capacity to add a 50A circuit for an EV charger. During our panel assessment, we'll check your current capacity and let you know upfront if an upgrade is required before installation.
We install all major EVSE brands including ChargePoint, Enel X JuiceBox, Leviton, Clipper Creek, Emporia, and Tesla (with adapter). We can install a charger you provide or recommend a model based on your vehicle and needs.
Yes. We install both indoor garage and weatherproof outdoor-rated chargers. We'll discuss placement options during our consultation to find the most convenient, aesthetically clean installation location.
Most residential EV charger installations are completed in 2–4 hours, assuming no panel upgrade is needed. If a panel upgrade is required, it typically adds a full day to the project.
