Home and business EV charger installation

A Level 2 charger can fill most electric vehicles overnight, compared to days on a standard outlet. Getting one installed safely usually means a dedicated 240 volt circuit, and sometimes a panel upgrade to make room for it.

What is included

  • A load check of your panel to confirm it can handle the charger
  • A dedicated circuit sized to your charger and vehicle
  • Clean installation in your garage, carport or driveway
  • Panel or service upgrades when your home needs more capacity
  • Permits and inspection when required

What affects the price

The biggest factors are the distance from your panel to where you park, whether the panel has space and capacity, and whether the wire needs to run through finished walls, attic space or underground. A charger right next to a panel with room to spare is a simple job. A long run to a detached garage is a bigger one. Aaron will look at your setup and give you a straight answer.

For businesses

We also install chargers for workplaces, multifamily properties and fleets, including planning for future chargers so you are not rewiring later.

Questions

EV charger questions

Ask Aaron: 520-222-7993
How much does it cost to install an EV charger?

A Level 2 (240-volt) home charger commonly runs from around $500 to $2,500 installed, though prices vary by region. The biggest factors are the distance from the panel to the charging spot, whether the panel has spare capacity, and the charger itself. If the panel needs an upgrade, the total goes up. A written local quote is the only reliable number.

Do I need to upgrade my panel (100A vs 200A)?

Common signs include frequent breaker trips, no open slots for new breakers, a fuse box, or an older panel brand with known problems. Upgrades are also common when adding an EV charger, heat pump, addition, or hot tub. An electrician does a load calculation to decide if your current service can handle what you have and what you plan to add.

Can I add a circuit or a subpanel for a garage or addition?

Usually yes, if the main panel and service have enough capacity. A subpanel is common for garages, workshops, and additions. The job needs a load calculation, correct wire and breaker sizing, proper grounding, and typically a permit and inspection.

Do I need a permit for this work?

Permits are usually required for new circuits, panel changes, service upgrades, EV chargers, generators, and additions. Simple like-for-like swaps of an outlet, switch, or light fixture often do not need one, but rules vary by city and county. Licensed electricians normally handle permits. Unpermitted work can cause problems with insurance claims and when selling a home.

How long will the job take, and will the power be off?

Simple jobs like a fixture, outlet, or dimmer can take an hour or two. A new circuit or charger may take a few hours to half a day. A panel upgrade often takes most of a day and needs power off for several hours, sometimes with utility coordination. A good electrician will tell you the expected outage in advance so you can plan around refrigerators, medical equipment, and work-from-home needs.
