Electric vehicle charger installation is part and parcel of EV ownership, and Mister Sparky® is the EV electrician you can count on!
Almost every homeowner with an EV opts to install a Level 2 charger in their garage or carport because a Level 2 charger’s dedicated 240-volt circuit moves electricity to the battery eight times faster, so vehicles can fully charge overnight when rates are cheaper. Waking up every morning to a fully charged vehicle is incredibly convenient.
Plus, the federal government and many local electric utilities offer rebates and incentives that can cut the cost of purchasing and installing a home EV charger almost in half.
Our experienced, licensed electricians make installing a Level 2 charger in your home safe and easy. No matter the make or model of your EV or the brand of charger you choose, we’re ready to make charging your EV more convenient and cost-efficient than ever.

As part of your electric vehicle charging installation, we’ll help you decide on the right Level 2 charger for your vehicle, and then:
Homeowners with Level 2 chargers already installed may run into issues due to faulty wiring, manufacturer defects, or inadequate electrical supply.

Electrical F.A.Q.
If You Have a Question, Mister Sparky Has the Answer!
What types of EV chargers are available for home use?
There are two types of EV chargers commonly used at home: Level 1 and Level 2. A Level 1 charger plugs into a standard 120-volt outlet and typically comes with your vehicle. It's a simple option for drivers with minimal daily mileage. A Level 2 charger uses a 240-volt outlet and offers a faster, more efficient charging experience. Many homeowners prefer Level 2 chargers for their convenience and performance.
How long does it take to charge an EV at home?
With a Level 1 charger, it can take 20–40+ hours for a full charge. A Level 2 charger typically charges most EVs in 4–10 hours, making it ideal for overnight charging.
Can I install an EV charger myself, or do I need a licensed electrician?
While some Level 1 chargers simply plug into a standard outlet and can be used without professional help, Level 2 EV charger installations should be handled by a licensed electrician. These chargers require a dedicated 240-volt circuit, which involves electrical work that must meet local codes and safety standards.
How much does it cost to install an EV charger at home?
The cost to install an electric vehicle charger varies due to several factors, including the need to upgrade the amp service, the price of the charging equipment, and the availability of any local, state, federal, or manufacturer rebates. We’ll help you find rebates you may qualify for and provide a detailed cost estimate before we begin work.
Is 150-amp service enough for EV charging?
To install a Level 2 charger, you will probably need 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. We recommend upgrading to 200-amp service to ensure you have enough capacity to handle the electrical demands of your home.
Do I need an electrician for EV charger installation?
Yes, you should always work with a licensed, experienced electrician to install an EV charger (or perform any other electrical work in your home). Installing an EV charger without a permit may violate the charger warranty and jeopardize your homeowners insurance coverage.
What else should I know about EV chargers?
They’re more affordable than you might think! Your local Mister Sparky electrician will help you identify any manufacturer, local utility, state, or federal EV rebates that may lower EV charger installation costs. Learn more about some of the variables that impact EV charger selection and installation.

I highly recommend Mister Sparky. Andres and Joseph were professional, punctual, and knowledgeable, clearly explaining the work before completing it efficiently and safely.

Scottie was highly knowledgeable and focused on the issues that needed addressing. He kept us informed during our visit describing what was needed and why. He inspired confidence in his ability and that the job was being done right.
Michael Shannon
Had a main breaker box needing relocated and brought up tp code. Austin, from Sparky, said he would stay on the job until power was restored. He completed the job the same day and got power back up. Very professional and hard working.
Pamela Schmierer
Excellent customer service! It is not easy to find a company that stands behind the quality of their work. The general manager himself came out to resolve a minor issue from a previous service call, and took his time to make sure it was done right. Truly went above and beyond. I will definitely be using this company again in the future.
Frank Altobelli

Outstanding Service — We've Found Our Electrician! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mister Sparky of Barrington and Northbrook! Jack came out to our home and was an absolute professional from start to finish. Not only did he install a new outdoor outlet, but he also took the time to address and seal up work where previous electricians had overlooked important details. What really impressed us was his thoughtful, practical advice. He offered excellent recommendations for saving energy and even suggested a solar light for the end of our driveway rather than a more expensive wired solution. He genuinely focused on what would work best for our home and our budget! He also provided a quote for upgrading our smoke and carbon monoxide alarms to a fully hardwired system. It's refreshing to work with someone who is knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely interested in helping homeowners make smart decisions rather than simply selling additional services. Jack went above and beyond, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Mister Sparky of Barrington and Northbrook has officially earned our trust and our business. They're our electricians from now on! Highly recommend Jack and the entire Mister Sparky team!

It initially appeared that my main vanity lighting in my master bath unsuite had stopped working. One quick call to Mr. Sparky and they were able to secure loose wiring and repair the switch. The technician was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable.

Ken knew what questions to ask and should have all he needs to provide a quote. Knew what he was doing and I'm confident in him.
Michael Garcia
Great and reliable company. After an issue came up, they sent a senior technician, Joshua, to address the matter. He did a masterful job, had an excellent attitude, and made sure we were 100% satisfied with the work. Highly recommend and will use them again.

I really appreciated that after 5pm, a local real human been promptly answered my calls that speaks English, politely and helpfully as Becka and Geny. They schedule me quickly for next morning for free quotes. They sent a text with 30 minutes advance notice to let me know the tech was on his way. The Electrician Gavin Forney arrived on time. When asked him if he had shoes covers before entering my home, surprisly he already have it handy the nicest ever and happily ready to use it. He is very kind, polite, professional, knowledgeable, and respectful. The prices quoted was fair and my options where fully explained without pushing sales speech. Gavin was very pleasant to work with, so I decide to go forward to have the job done in the same day. He already come prepared to work, and cleaned the area after done an amazing job. I would request him for future projects, and most definitely recommended him for friends and family.

Joseph was diligent with his work and installed an EV charger for me. It was a sizable job given a new panel needed to be installed as well. I am happy with the end result.
Don Greca
Tyler Cox and his apprentice were absolutely outstanding. They worked until an hour after dark making sure the job was done and it was ready for us to use the next day. Tyler was efficient and hard working. He was helpful and especially adept at keeping me, the customer, informed and in the loop regarding the job at hand. My wife and I were very pleased with the manner in which these young men represented the company they work for. Based on my interaction with these gentleman I would not hesitate to use Mister Sparky again.
Norman Charboneau
Ted was great! He explained exactly what work he was going to do and stuck to it. No surprises at the end. No extra additions to the billing.
Zuko V
I was super impressed with Vincent Fuentes as my technician today. He was heavily educated in the field, well mannered from the start to finish & plus fully confident in type of job he’ll be performing. Still shopping around for the better deal but if next person doesn’t come in like my guy Vincent here I don’t want them and I’m calling Sparky back. They got a keeper here and I know a good worker when I see one. Thank you again ! Sorry words don’t do enough, plus they got me in the same day!!! Thank you again. The field needs more workers like Vincent out here.
Kaitlyn Huynh
