EV Charger Installation

Add a Charging Station at Home with the Help of Our Electricians!

The world is entering a new era of transportation. As the capabilities of electric vehicles (EVs) increase, we are seeing more of them on the road and a greater demand for EV charger installation in people's homes. While electric cars offer an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional vehicles, it’s not always easy to charge an electric car from your home’s standard sockets. Recognizing this challenge, Mister Sparky® is dedicated to providing comprehensive EV charger installation services. Our professional installers are empowering homeowners to effortlessly set up home EV charging stations that ensure a faster and more convenient charging experience compared to standard outlets.

Call our EV charger installation electricians today from Mister Sparky® at (737) 204-7338. We’re ready to help you select a unit that works in your home and with your electric vehicle!

Types of EV Chargers

An electric vehicle’s ability to quickly recharge depends on two things: a home’s electrical supply and the EV charging unit used. EV chargers are broken down into three levels. Level one chargers are the slowest, while level three chargers are the fastest.

Level 1 Chargers

A level 1 charger comes standard with an electric vehicle. Because they use a home’s standard outlet, these chargers are most useful for slow overnight charges.

Level 2 Chargers

Level two chargers do their job faster but require an electrician for installation. These chargers need a dedicated 240-volt circuit to supply a current strong enough to charge an electric vehicle at a faster rate. Level 2 chargers can add approximately 70 miles of range for each hour of charging! These are the most popular options for home charging.

Level 3 Chargers

Level 3 EV chargers are incredibly fast but require an industrial supply of power, making them difficult for homeowners to install. These charging stations can recharge an electric vehicle’s battery to 80% in only 30 minutes. Level 3 chargers are not typically possible to install at home.

Choosing the Right EV Charger

Identifying your needs is the most crucial step in charging your electric car at home. While many people are fine with charging their car overnight with a level 1 charger, many prefer the flexibility provided by a level 2 charger.

When an installer comes to your home, they’ll help with the following issues related to EV charging stations:

Deciding your home’s ability to support a level 2 charger
Picking the right charger for your car model
Upgrading electrical systems as needed for safe operation
Home EV installation according to National Electrical Code and local codes
And more!

What Amperage Do I Need on My Breaker Panel for EV Charger Installation?

To install a Level 2 charger, you will probably need a 150 amp or 200 amp service. For 100 amp service or less, your EV or Tesla charger will probably take up too much capacity for your home. You may need to consider an upgrade for lower amp service. We recommend installing a 200 amp service to ensure you have enough capacity to handle the electrical demands of your home.

When we come to your home, we’ll provide the prompt and friendly service you need to know we’ll do the job right! Our team is always on time, highly-trained, and provides a 100% satisfaction guarantee for your peace of mind.

Casey Tuohy

We removed some fluorescent lights from our kitchen and found that there were no ceiling brackets to install updated light fixtures. Also, with two fluorescent light fixtures. It meant there were two sets of wires protruding from the ceiling about a foot apart, which would look weird, so we wanted tohave one set of wires removed, and a mounting box set for the other wires and have a new light fixture place. Burton arrived early and knocked out all work within 30 minutes. Impressed with his punctuality and the speed in which he completed the work. He was also friendly, but professional. He listened to my concerns before and after work. Highly recommended! Photo is from before he cleaned up after the work was done, but he took the time to clean up, insisting he wouldn’t feel finished without the clean up.

The experience started off great. We got the 2nd option bc our house is over 30 years old. So lots of work, costing 19k. Something that cost that much, I expect everything to be done correctly. First day went great. They went a little late, 8pm. I have a 3 yr old so I worried about noises outside; everything went well. The next day started off ok. It was at the end of the day when I felt they were trying to rush things. They told me they did completed the outlet and switch in the attic, they said they sealed the outlet outside. They said they would come back when they have a replacement for my mirror cover, and switch the outlet outside to the design we want. One of the guys left their shirt, it’s yours Johnny! We did the walk through in such a hurry that I noticed after the walk through they didn’t replace a switch in my closet and forgot to add a cover to a switch in my office. I hope to hear from them to get these things take. Care of bc I paid for it. UPDATE: I called Mr. Sparky and gave them a list of items they needed to finish. Eddie came out the next day and fixed everything. Thank you so much! I would recommend them!

I needed some dedicated outlets installed in my garage for a freezer and my water heater and also an extra outlet in the bathroom. I kept hearing Mr. Sparky's jingle in my head so I went to their website and booked an appointment. The very next day I was visited by Logan Roberts, a super nice, knowledgeable young man who first inspected my home electrical system to make sure everything was safe and in good shape. He went through his report with me and then went to work installing my new outlets, as well as a home surge protection package. He assured me that if I needed anything else, they'd be there to help me 24/7 and yo know what? I believe him. I'm very happy with the service I received and will definitely use them in the future. Highly recommend! P.S. Mr. Sparky, you should hang onto this young man. He's the real deal.

Cory was incredibly professional, punctual, and positive. He gave us clear answers to our electrical questions and reasonable cost estimates for the work. He walked us through the options for installing a electric vehicle charger so we could make an informed decision. Would definitely work with him again!

Brent Wilson

Contacted Mister Sparky to help with install of an EV charger plug. Was assisted by Nathanael and Ramiro. Nathanael arrived early, which worked great with my schedule. I asked him to install an additional 110V plug next to the charger plug, so he went to get additional parts. Ramiro joined to help with the work and stayed late to finish the job. I’m very happy with the results and would definitely work with them again.
