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 (281) 937-8927. 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.

Rebeca McBride

They were able to squeeze me in on the same day! Raidel was friendly, knowledgeable and really made me feel like he cared about my issue. He provided the simplest and most straightforward solution and explained everything every step of the way. I also LOVE how the company has automated introductions to the person who will come to your house, it helped me build a good relationship with Raidel from the beginning. Fantastic company set up, great consultation price, highly recommend this Mister Sparky!!

Mary Bearer

Wow! I cannot say enough good, great, awesome things about Mr. Sparky. Jaret was fabulous. Told me everything that needed to be fixed. He recommended somethings and (honestly) told me other things could wait. I love the honesty. It will definitely entice us back to use this company again.

Jessica Cobb

Thomas T. and his whole team did an outstanding job! I love having a working kitchen and front porch lights again. And I am so happy for the smoke detectors they installed. It's been on my list to get some installed for years. They updated a lot of problems and got everything up to code. We're so happy we went with Mr. Sparky, and again Thomas and his team were wonderful.

Andrew Wood

I've had Mr. Sparky do a good bit of exterior work for me - including laying 60 feet of buried service line to my main panel. The main things I will say is that the finished product has always been of the highest quality and all of the employees have been a pleasure to work with. In all of my experiences, the teams have been knowledgeable, they get to work fast, are happy to explain details and offer advice and yes, they will even help you think through your prices and some packaged deals that earn a discount. On that last point, I do feel that Mr. Sparky will not be your cheapest option, but again, the quality is fantastic and a licensed electrician and warrantied work is just expensive any way you look at it. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my experience with Mr. Sparky and would use them again and recommend them to others.

Raidel did an excellent job on repairing my issues I had with some outlets and also took the time to answer all my questions I had and did an excellent job. He is very professional, proficient, and meticulous with his work. I recommend Mister Sparkly and be sure to ask for Raidel as your technician.
