Types of EV Chargers That We Install
We specialize exclusively in Level 2 charger installations — the ideal choice for homeowners who want the best balance of charging speed, cost, and practicality for daily use.
Level 1
Uses a standard 120V household outlet with the portable charger that comes with most EVs. This is the slowest charging option, typically adding 3-5 miles of range per hour of charging.
Professional installation is generally not needed, as these simply plug into an existing outlet.
Level 2
Requires a 240V electrical connection (like what powers dryers or ovens) and a dedicated charging station. This setup adds 15–40 miles of range per hour, making it the most popular and practical home charging solution.
We provide expert installation of Level 2 chargers tailored to your home’s electrical system.
DC Fast Charging (Level 3)
Designed for commercial or industrial use, these ultra-fast chargers deliver 100–200 miles of range in about 30 minutes but require specialized, high-voltage infrastructure not typically available or practical in residential settings.
We do not currently offer installation of Level 3 systems.
We are certified to work with all of the leading EV charger brands.

EV Charging FAQs
What is an EV charger?
EV chargers are used to charge the batteries in electric and hybrid vehicles. If you own or are thinking about purchasing an electric vehicle, you’ll need an EV charger at your home to ensure your car is always ready when you need it.
Does an EV charger take up a lot of space?
An EV charger takes up little space within a home. You’ll need a small wall area in your garage or near your driveway to mount the charger and cable, and room in your service panel for an additional dedicated 240V breaker.
How do they work?
An EV charger, also known as Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), safely delivers electrical current to your electric vehicle’s onboard charger, which in turn charges the vehicle’s battery. The EV charger communicates with the vehicle via the charging port to monitor the battery’s percentage of charge and ends the charging session when the batteries are fully charged.
Can I leave my EV unattended while charging?
Yes, charging stations are designed to halt the flow of electricity to the vehicle once it is fully charged. Since the electricity transfer automatically stops, you can leave your vehicle plugged in unattended without any issues.
Should I install my EV charger inside or outside?
It’s generally best to install your EV charger inside your garage. If you don’t have a garage, you can install it under a carport or another covered area to shield it from bad weather. While most chargers are designed to handle all weather conditions, indoor installation offers extra protection and reduces potential issues.
What are the different levels of EV charging?
Level 1 uses a standard 120-volt outlet, charging at 2 to 5 miles of range per hour. Level 2 uses a 240-volt outlet with a rate of 10 to 60 miles of ranger per hour. Level 3, used only for commercial purposes, uses high-voltage direct current for a rate of up to 90 miles of range in a half-hour.
