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 (513) 657-1641. 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.

Virgil was prompt, friendly and efficient. He gave me a quote up front at a fair price and was done installing my light within 10 minutes. I will for sure use them again with any electrical needs I may have in the future!!!!

Kourtney Parrey

Had a great experience with Virgil! He installed our new dining room light fixture and worked with us on a solution for a broken switch in our bathroom. Would definitely recommend!

From the first moment that I spoke with Patrick, I felt at ease and knew that I was in good hands.Scheduling was a breeze, communication was clear and the entire process was easy—thank you Patrick. The technicians, Joe, Payton and Patrick are absolute pros. They showed up in time, walked me through everything without making me feel like I needed an engineering degree. Clean, courteous and professional. It is rare to find a company this capable and kind. Highly recommend.

5-Star Review for Mr. Sparky Electric Company I can’t say enough great things about Mr. Sparky Electric Company! Hubbard, the electrician they sent to my home, was an absolute professional and a lifesaver. I was dealing with multiple issues: a faulty electrical panel and a breaker that kept tripping. It was overwhelming, but Hubbard came in with a calm, confident demeanor and got straight to work. He quickly diagnosed the problems and explained everything to me in a way that made sense. I could tell right away he was extremely knowledgeable and experienced. Hubbard not only fixed my electrical panel but also resolved the breaker issues that had been causing me so much stress. He worked efficiently, and his attention to detail was impeccable. The amount of work needed was no small task, but he tackled it with precision and professionalism. What impressed me the most was his friendly attitude and commitment to ensuring everything was safe and functioning perfectly before he left. He even gave me some great tips on maintaining my electrical system to prevent future problems. If you’re looking for a reliable, skilled electrician, I highly recommend Mr. Sparky Electric Company—and if you’re lucky enough to get Hubbard, you’ll be in great hands! Thank you, Mr. Sparky, for your excellent service!

Excellent job performed by Jake. Had a bathroom fan installed and an electrical outlet so we can run a generator. The fan works great. Jake showed us how to properly plug the generator in, got it started and then labeled the entire electrical panel! Would definitely call them again for electrical work. Thanks so much for being professional and patient!
