The 3 most important considerations when selecting a charger are price, the ability to schedule charging, and charging speed.
Level 2 EV charger installation costs range from $600-$3,000. Costs may include the charger, wiring, load management solution, labor, and permit.
An electrician will place a new circuit breaker in your closest electrical panel and run wiring from the panel to the EV charger or outlet location.
Most people install their charger in their garage or outside near their parking location so the charging cable can easily reach the vehicle charge port.
We recommend hardwire installation where possible since it is a safer, better looking, and more weatherproof option.
Most cities require a permit to install a Level 2 EV charger. This ensures the installation meets all safety requirements.
In most cases, no. However, your home does need to have sufficient electrical service capacity and breaker space to safely install an EV charger.
For safety, electricians must check if your home has sufficient electrical capacity to install an EV charger.
Determine your electrical service by finding your main disconnect breaker. This is usually near your main electrical panel or meter.
EV owners can strategically approach home charging, rate plans, and vehicle maintenance to save money.

Level 2 charging adds 20-30 miles of range per hour of charge and will fully charge your vehicle in 7-10 hours.
Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) and Zinsco panels have design flaws that can cause their breakers to fail, creating a safety hazard.
