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 (727) 471-0449. 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.

Bernadette Coccio

Ron did an excellent job, and always had a smile. He was personable and competent, and even answered all my numerous crazy questions with patience. Ron updated the grounding system and rewired GFCI outlets and light switches on my ancient wonkily wired house. Cleaned up everything and work was completed in a reasonable amount of time. Professionally done, end result was perfect. Thanks Ron!

We had a great experience with these electricians!!! Don't hesitate to call them. Assyl was the technician that came to look over all our needs and help us make the best decision for a 50 year old home we had just bought a few months ago. Very understanding and walked us through everything with great explanations on all of it. Didnt try to over sell us but just what he thought we would need for the year of the home. Lauren is the best!!! She put in a whole new box and surge protector and wired everything on it beautiful! Max and Jake did all the outlets and switches in the house and added new ones for us also. Very friendly very thorough and very clean! We are so happy with their work.

Today we had Daniel and Matt come out and fix our downed electrical pole. They were both incredibly helpful, professional, and knowledgeable about their work. I feel comfortable with the work they did on my home and can rest easy knowing that it was all done right (added bonus of the three year warranty isn’t bad either 😅). The whole experience with this company was great and I would definitely recommend them.

Looking for an electrician on google search can be hit or miss. We hit it big when we found Mister Sparky and our electrician, Chris. Chris came out to quote our job the same day. He was courteous and very experienced. Mister Sparky worked within our budget and Chris returned to do the job. He was professional, skilled and very careful in our brand new home. We highly recommend Mister Sparky for electrical work in the St Pete area.

Daniel the electrician installed a new bathroom exhaust fan and heater combo to replace my existing exhaust fan. The installation went without a hitch although Daniel had to cut a larger opening in the ceiling for the new fan unit requiring him to go up in the attic. When the install was done Daniel vacuumed up the debris—that was over and above my expectations. Daniel and Mr Sparky have done several other electrical jobs for me and I have been very happy with their work. Mr Sparky electricians always come prepared with everything needed on their trucks. I will continue to use them and recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable electrician.
