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 (443) 295-6035. 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.

Kim Filcek

We had an issue with a breaker - not urgent from our perspective, but something we wanted to have addressed prior to leaving town in the next couple of days. Walter was not only able to come the very next morning, but was able to return with a specific replacement part in less than 24 hours. He educated us on the likely causes of our electrical issues and how to prevent this and similar issues in the future. We have had negative experiences with specialty services and contractors in the past, but our experience with Mr. Sparky and Walter was a welcome change from that pattern. He was prompt, knowledgeable, communicative, polite, and resolved our issue quickly and for a very fair price. We will absolutely call him again when we need electrical services in the future.

Walter came out and assisted me with this install I wanted done asap. It was last minute but he was able to accommodate! He arrived on time prepared to immediately work but most importantly he respected my home and didn’t make or leave a mess. Rate was reasonable and he worked fast. Very knowledgeable and friendly guy. I’d definitely recommend 😊

Jill Merchant

Walter provided excellent service! Very pleasant, communicative, and helpful. We had a problem with a circuit and while he was here, he was able to diagnose a problem with the sensors on the furnace, bringing heat back to our cold house. We were looking at a potential HVAC replacement so this diagnosis and repair was much appreciated. Many thanks!

Called Mr. Sparky 7:30am Thursday morning. Walter came out at 10am same day to review job and provide quote. Price was reasonable and Walter could come out next morning at 8am and begin work. I had a new 110V/20A outlet installed and a new 14-50 (240V/50A) outlet installed in my garage for my Tesla and welding equipment. Excellent work, communication and price. Only took 2 hours to complete my job. Very satisfied! Highly recommend Walter and Mr. Sparky in Columbia. Thanks Walter!

I had an electrical fire in my wall and call mister sparky, the owner Walter cosmetic writhing an hour of that call on a weekend and fixed all the defective plugs in my house, then came back 2 days later to replace a brand new electrical panel in my house. This company does a great job and they are very pleasant.
