Level 2 EV Car Charger Installation
Level 2 chargers use 240-volt lines to charge up to seven times faster than standard outlets. Per NEC Article 625, these systems are “continuous loads” and require a circuit capable of 125% of the charger’s draw. For example, a 48-amp charger needs a dedicated 60-amp breaker.
Level 1 and Public Charging Considerations
Level 1 charging uses standard 120-volt outlets and requires no additional electrical work. This setup suits plug-in hybrids or short daily commutes. For long road trips, commercial DC fast chargers provide rapid battery replenishment. For daily home charging, Level 2 units offer the optimal balance of speed and convenience.
Electrical Panel Upgrades
Many older homes rely on 100-amp panels with limited space. Adding a large charging load can trip existing breakers. Upgrading to a 200-amp panel or installing a subpanel ensures your system can safely support the additional demand.
Whole-Home Surge Protection
Power surges can damage vehicle electronics. We install surge protective devices at the panel to safeguard your car and your home’s electrical system.
Detached Garage and Outdoor Runs
Detached garage setups require trenching and rigid conduit to protect underground wiring from soil shifts and weather.
Electrical Safety Inspections
We examine service wires, ground rods, and breakers to ensure full code compliance before adding new equipment.

Common Questions
EV Charger Installation FAQs
We understand you may have questions about installing an electric car charger at your home. Below, we have answered some of the most common inquiries we receive from homeowners throughout the Chicagoland area to help you make an informed decision.
How long does an EV charger installation take?
A Level 2 charger utilizes a 240-volt circuit, which is similar to what an electric oven or dryer uses. This allows it to charge an electric vehicle much faster than a standard 120-volt wall outlet (Level 1). It is the most common and practical type of charger for home installations.
How long does an EV charger installation take?
Most standard installations can be completed by our technicians in just a few hours. The exact timeframe depends on your current home panel capacity and the distance between the panel and the desired charger location.
Can my current home power system handle a Level 2 charger?
In many cases, yes. However, older homes or properties with high power demands may require a panel upgrade to safely support the additional load. Our technicians will perform a thorough assessment during your consultation to determine what is needed.
Where is the best place to install my home charger?
Most homeowners choose to install their chargers inside a garage for protection from the elements. However, outdoor installations are also possible if you rely on a driveway or carport. We will help you select a safe and convenient location.
Will a home EV charger save me money?
Yes, charging your vehicle at home is typically much more cost-effective than using public charging stations. You can often take advantage of lower residential electricity rates, especially if you charge your vehicle overnight during off-peak hours.
